Prophet-10 in the Studio: 10 Voices, Aftertouch, and Why It's Better Than You Think

video upload by Doctor Mix

"🔥🎹👉 Explore the Sequential Prophet-10: https://sequential.com/product/prophe...
👈🎶🔥

✨ The Sequential Prophet-10 is a modern revival of one of the most legendary analog synths ever made — now with 10 voices, vintage Rev1 & Rev3 filters, poly mod, unison, and expressive aftertouch.

In this video we bring the Prophet-10 straight into the studio and explore what it really sounds like — no manuals, no overthinking, just switching it on and playing.

We start with the raw analog sound, completely dry with no effects, then explore unison power, poly mod textures, expressive aftertouch, and the character of the Rev1 and Rev3 filters.

Along the way we create sounds live and see why the Prophet-10 remains one of the most inspiring analog synths ever made.

What you'll see and hear in this video:

• First hands-on exploration of the Sequential Prophet-10
• 10-voice analog architecture explained
• Raw Prophet-10 sound with zero effects
• Expressive playing with aftertouch
• Poly Mod magic and evolving analog textures
• Rev1 vs Rev3 filter character comparison
• Huge unison sounds and thick analog bass
• Pads, leads, and classic Prophet tones
• Real studio workflow and performance testing
• Why the Prophet-10 is such an inspiring instrument

Cory Henry Walks Up While Performing at NAMM 😳🔥

video upload by Doctor Mix

"Final day at NAMM — and the energy is still unreal 🔥🎹⚡🎶

I can't really believe what happened there, as I was checking out the Leviasynth at https://www.ashunsoundmachines.com booth, Corey Henry rolls up on me with his camera ... while I was playing 🤯😅 I then have one of the coolest NAMM hangouts with Cory and my friend Matthew Whitaker, who BTW won a Grammy like the day after 🤯🤯🤯😍😍😍 Congratulations ‪@MatthewWhitakerOfficial‬ what an achievement ❤️🎹 ‪@CoryHenry‬ has a few of those 🙌

From there, everything happened — running into the legend Jonathan 'Sugarfoot' Moffett (Michael Jackson’s lifetime live drummer), Visiting Roland, Yamaha, Moog, testing odd synths, and discovering one of the most hilarious instruments of the show: the fully real, California-built Banana Synthesizer.
Finally I get to watch Justin Lee Shultz live, jamming with Matthew, and getting a selfie with both of them!"

PROPHET-10 Unboxing & Demo

video upload by Doctor Mix

"In this video, I’m not in the studio — I’m in sunny California, unboxing and playing the Sequential Prophet-10 for the very first time. No setup, no deep dive, no rules… just pure, immediate interaction with one of the most iconic analog polysynths ever made.

This is a genuine first encounter: lifting it out of the box, admiring the wood, powering it on, and letting the instrument speak. You’ll hear spontaneous playing, raw reactions, mistakes, happy accidents, and that unmistakable Prophet sound in its most honest form.

This isn’t a tutorial or a technical walkthrough — it’s about feel, inspiration, and that moment when a synth completely takes over and refuses to let you play anything else.

What you’ll see and hear in this video:
Unboxing the Sequential Prophet-10
First impressions and real reactions
The build, wood, and physical presence of the instrument
Powering it on and diving straight into sound
Pure, improvised playing with no preparation
Classic Prophet tones and unexpected moments
Letting the synth lead the music instead of the other way around

A full deep dive will come later back in the studio — this one is all about instinct, emotion, and the joy of touching a great instrument for the first time."

"In this video, I take you straight into the heart of NAMM 2026 for Day 1 — walking the floor, meeting incredible people, checking out wild instruments, and jumping into completely improvised musical moments. From boutique synth builders to legendary brands, this is a raw, real, behind-the-scenes look at what NAMM actually feels like when you’re inside it.

You’ll see spontaneous jams, unrehearsed performances, gear discoveries, and some genuinely mind-blowing tech — including intelligent music-learning systems that literally watch your hands and teach you in real time. This isn’t a polished showroom tour; it’s the honest, slightly chaotic, very human NAMM experience.

Entering NAMM 2026 and exploring the show floor
Discovering unique and boutique synthesizers
Meeting synth designers, musicians, and creators
Spontaneous conversations and gear reactions
Live improvised music at the Studiologic booth
Hands-on demos with next-gen music education tech

The Proteus 1 Synthesiser in 2025 - Any Fun?

video upload by BucketBrigade

"Today, we're looking at the original Proteus sound module by E-mu, released in 1989. These were immensely successful back in the day and this one started it all, and so I decided to have a poke around the Proteus' patches to see which ones tickled my fancy.

Again, my thanks to Jon for lending me the Proteus.

If you have any stories about the Proteus, I'd love to hear them. Feel free to leave a comment or email me using the address in my channel description.

I appreciate my playing isn't maestro level, I'm no Doctor Mix unfortunately!! Expect more coming soon :)

Fripper Tripper (Frippertronics with synths: DSI/Sequential Pro 2, Lyra-8, Boss RE-20, DD-20)

video upload by hypergol

"For Black Friday, I bought myself Boss DD-20 and RE-20 delay pedals specifically for exploring Frippertronics. They showed up yesterday and I promptly recorded my first jam. It starts with a simple 2 oscillator drone from the modular running through a spring reverb tank (1 Eowave Titan and 1 Roland 512 VCO) The melodies consist of different patches that I've made on the Pro 2, which is another recent purchase. A little further along I introduce the Lyra-8 into the mix, because anything experimental should probably include the Lyra. Unfortunately I didn't have its output level up high enough, and you can't really hear it in the repeats, which is a shame. Other than not getting output levels matched ahead of time, I'm pretty pleased with the result. The modular, Pro 2, and Lyra are also running through the Audiothingies Doctor A in parallel, which is set to a long ping pong delay and a very long modulated plate reverb. To add some tape warble, I fed an attenuated LFO from the Roland 540 module into the RE-20's expression pedal input, which adjusts the "twist" parameter. Everything runs through the DD-20 first, which has a delay time of 7.1 seconds and is set to the "modulated" delay type, then from there it runs into the RE-20. I wonder what it would sound like if the signal chain was reversed. I bet one could pull off mellotron strings vibes pretty easily with this setup."

Oberheim TEO-5 INHALT Synth Demo

video upload by INHALTVIDEO

"Following up from my work on the beta development and sound design on the Oberheim OB-X8, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the next Oberheim synth would be the TEO-5. Unpacking the beta unit revealed a beautiful and cleverly designed 5 voice analog synth that simply sounds amazing.

The size of the TEO-5 is absolutely perfect for world wide gigging and the sound is a sort of best of Oberheim with a modern twist. That modern twist doesn't exclusively come from the excellent FX processor on board, but also from the interesting modulation options and ranges. While you can push the synth into harmonic and saturated zones, it still, like all Oberheims remains one large sweet spot.

Don't be fooled by the smaller size and voice count, there is nothing small about the sound and capability of the TEO-5. Not to be missed.

Please note this recording is of a beta development unit running an early firmware. The sounds featured here are the patches I made for the shipping factory bank that comes with the synth straight from Oberheim.

Recorded at Infinite Power Studios, Los Angeles. All patches by Matia Simovich/INHALT. Video edited by Grover Greenberg."

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Oberheim - TEO-5

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024 we met up with David Gibbons from Oberheim who introduced us to the new TEO-5 synthesizer. Named after Tom Oberheim with an exclusive reveal of Tom's middle name, the TEO-5 has a SEM filter, two oscillators and a sub giving that classic Oberheim sound, but with lots of features to bring its capabilities right up to date.

Chris Calcutt then stepped up, and gave us a demo of the sound of this synth. TEO-5 gives us 19 mod slots with tons of destinations, both a mono and a poly LFO, two envelopes and a capable twin FX section. Uniquely there is a cross-mod section with thru-zero capabilities, which allows FM modulation that stays in tune up and down the keyboard.

With a similar form factor to the Take 5, the TEO-5 has a 3 and a half octave Fatar keyboard with aftertouch, and is designed to give the Oberheim sound in a more portable and affordable package

TEO-5 Available: July 2024. Price: 1,499 USD

"A Quick Look any the new Oberheim TEO-5 - named after Tom Edison Oberheim - there was a leak a few weeks back but it's here in the flesh.. and nice it is too.

Its got the same form factor as there Sequential Take 5. The big addition is obviously the Oberheim filter, and a through zero FM - so it looks like it has the new SSI chip.

Anyway.. just a Quick Look.. enjoy:)"

Introducing the New Oberheim TEO-5 Polyphonic Synthesizer

TEO-5: The Legendary Oberheim Sound Reborn in a Compact Powerhouse

San Francisco, CA – [May 16, 2024] – Oberheim, the venerable brand synonymous with the golden age of synthesizers, proudly announces the TEO-5 polysynth. This powerful instrument features the visionary craftsmanship of Thomas Elroy Oberheim (TEO), offering a perfect blend of classic analog warmth and modern versatility for today's musicians.

“I’m so proud to be able to make a synth like this... compact and affordable, the Oberheim sound for 2024,” says Tom Oberheim, the company’s founder. TEO-5 is designed to make the classic Oberheim tone palette widely accessible, encapsulating decades of analog engineering experience in a forward-thinking and innovative musical instrument.

The TEO-5 boasts a five-voice architecture with genuine analog VCOs and VCFs, capturing the distinctive warmth and depth that defined countless hit records. But TEO-5 isn't just a tribute to the past. Additions like through-zero FM, which adds a contemporary twist to its oscillator X-Mod feature, allow for the exploration of entirely new sonic textures. And the legendary Oberheim SEM filter returns, offering the versatility of morphing between low- pass, notch, and high-pass configurations, along with a switchable band-pass mode for extensive tonal shaping.
Beyond its core synthesis architecture, TEO-5 features a comprehensive modulation matrix, opening a world of possibilities for sculpting and transforming sounds. Digital effects processors provide classic chorus, delay, reverb, and more, alongside faithful recreations of the revered Oberheim Ring Mod and Phasor effects. A 64-step polyphonic sequencer and multimode arpeggiator further fuel creative exploration, while a premium Fatar keybed ensures a responsive and inspiring playing experience.

“There was a huge surge of interest when Oberheim returned in 2022 with the historically inspired OB-X8,” said David Gibbons, CEO of Oberheim. “But Tom and the design team were keen to show that the magic of Oberheim can be within reach for everyone, and can bring a distinctive modern flavor. TEO-5 is an exciting addition to the Oberheim legacy.”
Whether you're a seasoned professional seeking a powerful new sonic tool or a budding artist embarking on your analog adventure, TEO-5 is your gateway to unparalleled musical exploration.
