GForce Software Sequential Prophet 5 - Patch Flip & Demo

video upload by sonicstate

"In this Patch Flip, we look at the @GForceSoftware Sequential Prophet 5, an officially endorsed plugin recreating the Rev 3 Prophet 5 with GForce additions.

As well as being a faithful recreation of the OG Prophet with switchable filter modes and original envelope curves, it has two layers of up to 10 voices each, giving 20 voices total, plus A/B splits and Alt modes. The XMOD and XLFO system lets you modulate most parameters with an XLFO or XADSR, with extras like noise injection, sample and hold and looping.

A bank of reorderable effects covers chorus, phaser, distortion, filter, tremolo, reverb and delay. On-screen animation shows active modulation, and CCs can now step through patches.

Priced at $83.99 US, it runs standalone, AU, AAX, VST and VST3 on Mac and Windows.

GForce & Sequential Prophet 5 | PAD | Sounds Like This (No Talking)

video uploads by Sounds Like This

"What does the GForce & Sequential PROHET 5 VST / AU Synth sound like? It sounds like this!

Prophet~5 was released by Sequential Circuits in 1978, as Dave Smith’s five-voice analogue synthesizer brought polyphony, patch memory and hands-on control together in a way that reshaped how musicians wrote, recorded and performed with synthesis.

While there are several software versions of the Prophet 5, this is the first-ever to be officially endorsed by Sequential."

The Prophet

video upload by Robin Rimbaud-Scanner

"What began as a little studio playtime with a new software synth from GForce developed into this neat little EP.



I made a little demo online for social media and had a number of requests to make this track available, so you not only get that track, but also three additional tracks, all of which I made on the same day.

A little context - Few instruments have left such an indelible mark on modern music as the Sequential Prophet-5. You’ve heard it on countless recordings, from Michael Jackson’s Thriller album to Phil Collins, from Radiohead to Vangelis, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, oh the list goes on and on."

2. GForce Prophet 5 vs the Hardware - Starsky Carr

I put the GForce Prophet 5 VST head-to-head against my real Sequential Prophet 5 hardware — testing filters, oscillators, envelopes, LFOs, vintage mode, FM, sync, unison, and more — to find out just how close it really gets.

The GForce Prophet 5 is the ONLY Prophet 5 software officially endorsed by Sequential, making it the only plugin that can legally call itself the Prophet 5. But does the endorsement mean anything sonically? After hours of clinical testing with spectrum analysis, oscilloscopes, and direct A/B comparisons, the results genuinely surprised me.

In this video:
Rev 1 vs Rev 2 vs Rev 3 filter comparison (SSI vs CEM — hear the -difference)
Oscillator shapes: sawtooth, square, triangle side-by-side
Pulse width modulation & LFO speed accuracy
FM / oscillator sync behaviour (I did find a minor difference here)
Polymod and audio-rate filter modulation
Unison & Vintage mode — does the voice-to-voice character match?
Low frequency oscillator mode
X-Mod section: LFOs and envelopes on everything
Built-in effects: chorus, phaser, distortion, multi-mode filter, delay, reverb
CPU load test: 10 simultaneous instances vs Ozone on the master bus

The verdict? The differences I found are no greater than you'd hear between two hardware Prophet 5s. If you don't own the hardware and aren't doing a clinical A/B, you will not notice them.

The GForce Prophet 5 is also remarkably CPU efficient — 10 instances use less CPU than a single Ozone instance. It adds two layers, up to 10-voice polyphony, full CC modulation, and an X-Mod section that turns a classic polysynth into something far more powerful."

"The SoundForce SFC-mini V4 is a new dedicated physical hardware controller for Minimoog-style VST plugins. This video introduces the device and how it works, what's new in this model, the special bonus features that work with the Arturia Mini V4 plugin, and much more.

This video serves as an official intro to the SFC-mini V4, and was funded by SoundForce. Based in the Netherlands, SoundForce have been in business for more than 10 years making controllers and eurorack modules."

Press release follows:


SoundForce is introducing the SFC-Mini V4, a high-end, dedicated MIDI controller designed for the world’s leading Minimoog software emulations. Featuring more than 65 hands-on controls arranged in an authentic Minimoog-style layout, it delivers a true analog-inspired workflow for modern producers. Representing over a decade of SoundForce MIDI-controller innovation, the SFC-Mini V4 is the most advanced and accurate Minimoog-focused controller yet.

Build quality
The SFC-Mini V4 is assembled in the Netherlands using high-quality components sourced from Europe and Asia. Its case is built entirely from powder-coated sheet metal. Both sides are fitted with elegant 8 mm walnut wood panels for a vintage-inspired look.

Backed by over ten years of MIDI-hardware expertise, the SFC-Mini V4 is part of SoundForce’s newest generation of controllers. Its pots, sliders, and switches were chosen after extensive research and experimentation to deliver outstanding tactile response, long-lasting performance, and rock-solid reliability during assembly.

Plugin support:
Because the SFC-Mini V4 outputs standard MIDI CC messages, it can be paired with any software or hardware that supports MIDI CC mapping. However, since each plugin has its own UI and MIDI implementation, the firmware provides dedicated plugin modes to ensure proper integration. The SFC-Mini V4 has specific plugin modes supporting the following plugins:

Arturia Mini V4 (incl 2-way)
Arturia Mini V3/iMini
GForce Minimonsta 2
Cherry Audio Miniverse
UA Minimoog
Softube Model 72
NI Monark
Synpase Audio The Legend HZ
Plugiator Minimax

2-way communication:
Two-way communication means the SoundForce controller and a supported plugin can talk to each other in both directions, instead of the controller only sending MIDI data one-way. At this point, this feature is supported with the Arturia Mini V4.

In practice, that creates a far more “hardware-like” experience when using software synths. Change a preset, load a new instance on another track, move a parameter with your mouse and the controller automatically syncs its LED switches, and ingest the pot data in memory. When the received pot data from the plugin differs from the actual pot position on the controller, 3 options similar to Ableton take over modes can be chosen from: jump, pick-up and smoothing.

Marius Leicht - Nachtblau (Matrix 1000 version)

video upload by Marius Leicht

"The piece 'Nachtblau' has gone full circle. I originally wrote it as a synthesizer piece, when I got GForce Software's Oberheim Eight Voice emulation, OB-E for review.
While recording my first solo album, Weltmaschine, I transformed it into a piano piece and recorded it with Nils Frahm's Zwicki Piano at his studio in Funkhaus, Berlin.
As there is not always a piano availlable when I play live shows, I rarely played that piece on stage. But since it gets requested a lot, I now went on to create a sound on my Oberheim Matrix 1000 which can be played very nuanced in dynamics and colour, so I can do this expressive piece justice. Leave your thoughts in the comments!

Introducing Halogen FM by GForce Software

video upload by GForce Software

"FM synthesis is notoriously difficult to program — complex, technical, and often unintuitive. Halogen FM changes that. We built it to remove the barriers that have kept so many from exploring the raw, expressive power of FM.

Instead of diving into confusing algorithms or endless parameters, Halogen invites you to discover sound through play. It’s a generative instrument that responds to instinct, not instruction — giving you evolving textures, organic tones, and sonic surprises without requiring deep synth knowledge.

Halogen FM lets everyone tap into the beauty and unpredictability of FM synthesis — whether you’re a seasoned producer or just curious. Your ears lead the way, and happy accidents are part of the design.

Introducing The Streetly Tapes - London for M-Tron Pro IV

video upload by GForce Software

"More info: https://www.gforcesoftware.com/produc...

Streetly Electronics and GForce Software are proud to present The Streetly Tapes – London, our final expansion pack for M-Tron Pro IV — a fitting conclusion to a collaboration that has celebrated the iconic sound of the Mellotron for over a decade.

Over the years, both ourselves and Streetly have been asked by original Tron owners why their tapes have a distinct, unmistakable character—one that doesn’t quite match the sound of the EMI tape-based Streetly recordings? They also point out that certain classic albums carry this same elusive tone.

The answer lies in a fascinating quirk of history.

Back in the early 1970s, when M400 production was in full swing at Streetly Electronics, the Mellotronics office in London decided to take matters into their own hands. Instead of sourcing tapes from Streetly, they opted to produce their own. But things didn’t go quite as planned…

This final Streetly Tapes volume brings you fifteen of the truly iconic Tron tape banks, each with that London Tape azimuth. What’s more, we’ve included 20 super rare tape banks from the last of the remaining Streetly Archives, to provide M-Tron Pro IV users with a total of 35 tape banks from the original and best Melly Library in existence."
