Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Rev 1 Samples

The following in via an anonymous reader:

rev1-response-to-pro8.m4a (2.1mb)
rev1-response-to-pro8.aif (9.4mb)

This is a 54 second 5 note chord performed on a rev 1 Prophet-5 as a response to the 10 (or so) 2 minute demos featuring the prototype Prophet-8. I feel it sums up many of the beautifully subtle features of the SSM revs that helped make the Prophet-5 the legend that it is.

Some technical notes:
Chord: F1,F2,F4,Ab4,C5 held for ~53 seconds (F2 is released ~ 0:18 for LFO mod) OSC 1 tuned to a 4th above OSC 2 (~3), both SAWs Filter EG A8 D10 S6 R4 (1 voice has a faster EG for effect and because it can) Cutoff 1, Resonance 7, E Amount 4 Amp EG A0 D0 S10 R5 LFO FREQ 6, TRI mod FREQ 2

Only a plate style reverb (t.c. electronics) was used, no external dynamics. Note the harmonics through the sweep and low end (if your speakers can render it!)"

  1. That chord did sound sweet.

  2. there really is a lot going on in that chord. i guess the point being you can't emulate it and it probably sounds a little different every time.

    P.s. it is Tc electronic, not electronicS ;)

  4. It doesn't sound as precise as the Prophet '08 does.

  5. I don't know if you can make that assumption yet. The older revision Prophets are tried and true winners for sound quality. The brand new Prophet '08 needs some time to prove itself.

  6. So does the Prophet '08 have a one chord response to this?
