"Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 analog synth demo. Playing sounds and presets on vintage Prophet 5 analog synth from Sequential Circuits including pads, bells, polymod, filter and resonance tweaks. The Prophet 5 in this sound demo is a Revision 3.3.

The Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 synth was created by Dave Smith (from DSI/Dave Smith Instruments) and John Bowen, and manufactured from 1978-1984. Nearly 6,000 Prophet 5 synths were made in total, and three major revisions: revisions 1 and 2 used SSM chips, while the later revision 3 used Curtis chips.

The Prophet 5 has 5 voices of polyphony and was the first fully programmable polyphonic synth with an embedded microprocessor. It features 2 VCOs (square/pulse/tri/saw), 1 LFO, 4-pole resonant low pass filter, 2 ADSR envelopes, 61 keys, FM (Polymod) and can store between 40-120 patches (depending on model).

The SCI Prophet 5 is a legendary synth and commands high prices on the second hand market. It is known for having a warm, lush and brassy tone and for being very organic. The Prophet 5 has been used by many artists over the years on many hit records.
