"SEQUENTIAL PROPHET 10 Rev4 Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer
Reintroduced in 2020

A modern revival of one of the most iconic synthesizers ever made, the Prophet 10 Rev4 combines the legendary sound of the original Prophet 5 and Prophet 10 with modern reliability and expanded flexibility:

10 voice polyphony
True analog VCOs and filters
Vintage knob for variable era accurate character
Poly Mod and classic Prophet architecture
Velocity and aftertouch support

In this demo, we explore a range of inspiring presets and custom programmed patches, from lush pads and powerful brass to warm vintage leads and cinematic analog textures.

This video highlights the unmistakable sound and creative potential of the Prophet 10, showcasing why it remains one of the most revered polysynths ever created."

SEQUENTIAL FOURM: 4 voces analógicas para recrear un clásico

Video descpription in Googlish:

Instead of a traditional review of the Sequential Fourm, we decided to take a different approach: putting it to work on a specific track. And not just any track: "Fade to Grey" by Visage—an absolute classic of 1980s British synth-pop. Every melodic and accompanying track you’re about to hear was created exclusively using the Fourm, starting from factory sounds (drawn from the approximately 300 initial presets) with only minimal tweaks. The only element not provided by the synth is the drums: an AI-generated Roland CR-78-style pattern, occasionally reinforced with a kick and snare from Logic’s sound library.

Along the way, Pablo demonstrates how to truly harness the power of a modern polyphonic analog synthesizer: polyphonic aftertouch (key for the lead vocal line, where some notes come alive while others fade out completely), intense mixer feedback (ranging from subtle thickening to nonlinear behavior with "ghost" harmonics), audio-rate filter modulation from Oscillator 2 (adding anything from brightness and vocal-like character to total sonic breakdown, depending on the intensity), glide for creating transition sweeps, and the LFO in random mode feeding the filter to ensure every note sounds unique.

We also cover specific recording techniques: layering basslines via MIDI using two different sounds and panning them; doubling hand-played pads so that the two takes aren't identical; and recording a MIDI pattern to free up both hands, allowing you to perform real-time timbral tweaks—adjusting the filter, resonance, and modulation intensity—during the actual audio recording.

📝 A quick refresher on the Fourm: a compact 4-voice analog synthesizer featuring two VCOs per voice, a 4-pole low-pass filter derived from the Prophet-5, one global LFO, two ADSR envelopes, a mixer with feedback capabilities, no internal effects, a mono output, a 37-key "slim" Tactive keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch, and a modulation matrix—inherited from the Pro-1—that is directly accessible right on the front panel. 00:00 Original vs. Fourm Version

A Prophet-5 Style Stereo Filter: Thonk DOUBLE BUBBLE Demo

video upload by mylarmelodies

"A good ol' filter demo like it's 2008, except it's '26! Thonk's Double Bubble is a stereo Prophet 5-style "2040" DIY-kit filter (and VCO!) with crossmod and feedback capabilities that can make it go from classic to nuts.

Thonk hired me to demo this module in a video. Thanks Thonk! This thing really is a beaut (and their VCO is really good, myself and Divkid were playing with one the other day and it tracked the best part of 10 octaves)."

"Sound bank notes

In my opinion, the Murmux Adept is a modern classic among synthesizers. It oozes quality and depth with a vintage analog sound and a strong personality. The oscillators, filters and analog stereo bucket brigade delay (BBD) interact to create a rich palette of timbres, with an inclination towards dark ambient textures.

It excels at ambient pads, textures and atmospheres so I have exploited this in many of my patches. I have also created more conventional sounds such as strings and brass which sing with power and majesty – rivalling those of the Sequential Prophet 5. Lead sounds are another strength of the Murmux, so you will find many within the bank ranging from pure triangles and sines through to aggressive and expressive saws.

Although the Murmux looks like a very simple synth - lacking complex features like a modulation matrix, in fact it is possible to create many layers of modulation simultaneously. You can for instance, assign velocity (how hard you press the keys) to modulate envelope times while also morphing between waveforms in both oscillators and using aftertouch to control filter cutoff and resonance. In this sound bank I have used modulation comprehensively and all patches have parameters assigned to the mod wheel as well as aftertouch and/ or velocity to maximise the expressiveness of the sounds.

The delay is a big feature of this synth so I have used it a lot, although you will also find traditional analog synth patches with no effects at all. The BBD resonator and ensemble modes are powerful, yet I have tended to use them for subtle modulation to thicken sounds or to create gentle flanging.

On the ARP ODYSSEY, the signal runs through LOST+FOUND with reverb and tape style effects.

The harmony is mainly played on the Rhodes MKII, while the ODYSSEY and Prophet-10 handle the melody."

The Crow Hill Company Introduces the THE SH*T SYNTH

The Sh*t Synth - Walkthrough video upload by CROW HILL XTRAS

Press release follows:


The Crow Hill Company turns to extensive and rare collection to turn out THE SH*T SYNTH as compendium of 48 circuit-, wave- and sample-bent instruments

EDINBURGH, UK: The Crow Hill Company is proud to turn to its own extensive and rare collection of hardware to turn out THE SH*T SYNTH — available as a compendium of 48 circuit-, wave- and sample-bent instruments inspired by some of the Edinburgh-based enterprise’s eclectic musical favourites (spanning the likes of Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, Joe Maus, Jon Brion, Laurie Spiegel, Radiohead, Throbbing Gristle, and Yazoo) to create something that they collectively ask: is it just shit or ‘the shit’? — as of April 7…

Whatever way anyone chooses to read into the titling of THE SH*T SYNTH as the latest entry into The Crow Hill’s ongoing ORIGINS series of sample-based virtual instrument plug-ins, one thing is for sure: it readily represents a broad selection of three categories of 16 workhorse instruments each, effectively wrapped up into a single plug-in designed to bring a cohesive approach to making music more edgy, lo-fi, retro, and — swimming against the technological tide of so-called progress — decidedly AI (Artificial Intelligence) slop-free. From pianos to strings, plucks, beeps, bass, and pads, the compendium that is THE SH*T SYNTH has been lovingly sculpted by the Edinburgh-based enterprise’s media composer and ‘samplist-in-residence’ Christian Henson to take the hassle out of making existing sounds less refined, catering to those looking for an entirely new bank of Mellotron-style sounds as well as synths that have been long forgotten — for good reason, too!

"This collection of vintage synthesizers has grown with me for years. Most all of these instruments have been used on many projects, including VeggieTales, a variety of remixes, and many PlayStation video games and marketing and promotional discs. Most recently they were used on the Mass Effect Andromeda video games soundtrack. They have also been sampled and are part of the SoundVault Collection and the Kurzweil Analog Collection for the K2000 series samplers.
VEMIA note: to forestall many inquiries, The seller’s idea is that he wants to sell it as a whole. That may or may not work out in this auction. If it doesn’t, obviously he’ll be free to do whatever he wants after the auction finishes.

It all works. Everything has been kept in a clean, smoke-free, climate-controlled studio. I have always fixed things myself, so everything is operational and sounding great. I have repair notes on the synths that received attention, though most of them have worked great over the years, without much need for repairs. There are also several MIDI to CV converters so they can all be controlled by computer, plus cables if desired. And a few have cases and manuals.

"A track created with Rhodes MKII, Prophet-10, OP-1 field, drums, and bass. It is built from simple performance and recording.

The Rhodes MKII is played with chorus from the CE-5. After recording, it is processed through Lofi Tape in the DAW.

On the Prophet-10, a synth lead is performed while switching patches during playback.

On the OP-1 field, sampled voice is played with the FAZOR effect. It is further processed through MOOD MKII with reverb and MicroLoop.

The bass is recorded through a BASS DRIVER DI. The drums are recorded separately and edited in the DAW, then processed as a group through Lofi Tape."

"RetroSound Studio Tour
Classic Analog Polyphonic Synthesizers from the 1970s and 1980s

In this episode of RetroSound Studio Tour, I explore the sound, design, and history of legendary analog polyphonic synthesizers from the golden era of electronic music. These vintage poly synths defined the lush pads, warm brass sounds, and cinematic textures heard in synth-pop, progressive rock, disco, film scores, and early electronic music.

This studio tour focuses on true analog polyphonic instruments featuring multiple voices, voltage-controlled oscillators , classic analog filters , and rich modulation systems. Unlike monophonic synths, polyphonic synthesizers allow full chords and layered harmonic textures — making them essential in 1970s and 1980s music production.
