"On Episode 2 we're using the 1981 Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 to recreate the patch from the Polydata track "Dyer" - but the sound design principles apply to any synth, whether hardware or software, so feel free to follow along on any synth! More episodes with both simple and complex patches to come.

Arturia Prophet VS - Summer School '86 Sound Bank

video upload by Polydata

"You really blew it this time. You failed Chemistry. Now you have no option: you have to go to summer school. A hot walk every morning and a hotter walk home. Emptier hallways, quieter lunchroom and no chance of sleeping in. But one afternoon you go to the local music shop and get to try out a new instrument: The Sequential Prophet VS. All-digital oscillators with vector cross-fading. You've never heard anything like it, and it's sound seems to keep echoing in your head all summer...

A bank of 30 patches showcasing the unique beauty of this instrument's design and sound, while still focusing on warmth and musicality, and providing a complexity not found in other Polydata sound banks. The sound that will always take you back to that summer.

** Note: This is for the original "Prophet V3" plug-in, not the newer "Prophet VS V" plug-in that comes with V Collection 9. Please ensure you have access to the correct plug-in before purchasing. **

After payment, you will receive the file in your email within 24 hours. Recorded with no external processing - what you hear is all from the plug-in.

Sequential OB-6 Sound Pack - FM TONES VOLUME 2

video upload by Polydata

"This is the 2nd volume sound pack of 50 patches with sequences for the excellent Dave Smith Instruments / Sequential / Oberheim OB-6 analog synthesizer. All of these patches use VCO 2 as an audio rate modulation source via the X-Mod section. FM on this synth is a big part of what makes it exciting for me and I hope these patches help you see it in a fresh way. Other than the drum and sound effects patches, they are all tuned and transposed to be used with the standard 12 tone scale.

Sounds load into slots 350-399 as default. Everything heard here is totally dry, with no eq or compression.

Link:
polydata.bigcartel.com

Note these patches use the latest firmware with the "Vintage Knob" functionality. Additionally, each analog synth is slightly different, if your patches are sounding a bit out of tune, slightly adjust the "VCO 2" amount in the X-Mod section until it sounds right.

Sequential Prophet Rev 2 - Bi-timbral Sound Bank

video upload by Polydata

"An exploration of stacked patches with the Sequential / Dave Smith Instruments Prophet Rev 2. I've often found bi-timbral patches cheesy, uninspiring, or just not useful. I sought to create this bank to show how powerful and beautiful patch stacking can be. It needs to be approached with care - not just slapping two sounds together, but carefully tailoring each sound to complement each other and blend into a single unit that is greater than the sum of it's parts. Nuance is key.

30 carefully designed bi-timbral patches for instant inspiration. Recorded completely dry with no external effects or processing.

After payment, you will receive the SysEx file in your email within 24 hours. Loads into User Bank 3 by default, slots 1-30.

Sequential OB-6 Sound Pack - All FM sounds

video upload by Polydata

"Sound pack of 50 patches with sequences for the excellent Dave Smith Instruments / Sequential OB-6 analog synthesizer. All of these patches use VCO 2 as an audio rate modulation source via the X-Mod section. I decided to make an all FM pack for the OB-6 after doing a set for the prophet-6. It was definitely more challenging at first, but it led me to approaching sounds in some new ways, which produced some amazing results.

Sounds load into slots 400-449 as default. Everything heard here is totally dry, with no effects, EQ or compression. Just playing straight off the synth's front panel.

Arturia Prophet - V - Sound Bank '79

video upload by Polydata

"Drawing from the earliest days of polyphonic synthesizers, Sound Bank ‘79 for the Arturia Prophet-V finds its inspiration in synthesizer music found in documentaries and library music from the late 70’s and early 80’s.

A bank comprising 40 patches for instant inspiration. The goal was to squeeze as much vintage analog juice out of this plug-in as possible, primarily working within the constraints of the original Sequential Circuits Prophet-5. I own a real Prophet-5 rev 3.2 and still love the analog mojo of this plug-in.

Note: This is for the Arturia 'Prophet V' (V3) plug-in and not more recent 'Prophet-5 V' plug-in which has a different synth engine. Also: please note that most of these patches are saved with "Reset" as the Play Mode at the bottom of the plug-in window, but you may want to change it to 'Circ' based on your needs.

Sound Bank '79 is a series of vintage tones for different synths and plug-ins, so look out for future releases. Recorded completely dry with no external effects or processing.

A bank comprising 30 patches for instant inspiration. The goal was to squeeze as much vintage analog juice out of this plug-in as possible, primarily working within the constraints of the original Sequential Circuits Prophet-5. Part of the magic of the Prophet-5 design was it's clear workflow, enabling you to get a wide array of sounds quickly. I'm happy to say that Softube have stayed faithful to this simplicity that has helped this instrument to endure all these years.
