"Dave Smith Instruments Begins Shipping Sequential Prophet X Samples-Plus-Synthesis Hybrid Synthesizer

New Keyboard Features Samples by 8Dio, Stereo Analog Filters, and Full Synthesis Capabilities

San Francisco, CA—June 6, 2018—Dave Smith Instruments today began shipping the Sequential Prophet X, a new, bi-timbral, 8-voice-stereo (16-voice mono) synthesizer that combines samples and synthesis. At the heart of its sound is a newly developed engine that powers two simultaneous 16-bit, 48kHz sample-based instruments plus two high-resolution digital oscillators with waveshape modulation per voice — all processed through analog filters.

Dave Smith commented: “The Prophet X is a powerful evolution of the Prophet series.We’ve created a new sound engine that not only provides sample playback through stereo analog filters, but also gives you all of the synthesis capabilites and awesome sound you’d expect from a Prophet. It’s an amazing instrument.”

For sample content, Dave Smith turned to sound developers 8Dio, known for pioneering “deep sampling,” a detailed approach to sampling that aims to capture all of the nuances and idiosyncracies of a particular sound or instrument. 8Dio co-founder Troels Folmann put it this way: “We’re known for going anywhere and everywhere with sounds. We embrace all sounds as music and feel that if you can capture the musical soul of a sound, you can make it into an instrument. The Prophet X gives musicians a very immediate and responsive way to access this expressiveness.”

The 150 GB sample library in the Prophet X includes numerous acoustic and electronic instruments as well as an extensive collection of ambient and cinematic effects. Users can shape the samples through loop manipulation, sample stretching, and the synthesizer’s many sound-sculpting functions which include 4 envelope generators, 4 LFOs, a deep modulation matrix, and other tools. The Prophet X also provides 50 gigabytes of internal storage for importing additional samples. Several sample libraries will be available from 8Dio at launch. Support for user-created sample content is planned for December, 2018.

A dual-effects engine provides multiple reverbs, two delays (standard and BBD), a chorus, flanger, phase shifter, rotating speaker, high-pass filter, and distortion. In stacked or split voice mode, you can apply two different effects to each layer. Effects parameters can be modulated through the mod matrix as can the samples themselves. A polyphonic step sequencer allows up to 64 steps and up to 6 notes per step, per layer. The Prophet X features a premium-quality, five-octave, semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch, an integrated power supply, USB support, and three OLED displays.

Dave Smith summed up the new instrument this way: “As a whole, the Prophet X covers more sonic territory than any Prophet we’ve ever created. The new analog filter design we’re using not only sounds fantastic for synth sounds, but also does something special for the samples. Composers will love it for soundtracks, synth geeks will love it for its sound mangling potential, and live players will love it for its versatility.” Added 8Dio co-founder Tawnia Knox: “The Prophet X has almost infinite posibilites. But more importantly, it has a soul. It’s alive. You can touch your sounds in a different way than you ever could.”

The Sequential Prophet X is available now with a US MAP of $3,999."

New WaveReX Expansion Card for the Korg M1 Allows Loading of Custom Waveforms

WaveReX - Waveform Refill eXpansion for Korg M1 - Demo

Published on May 31, 2018 WaveReX

"This short demonstrations shows you how the WaveReX works and how easy it is to load almost every sample you want into your beloved M1.

WaveReX extension does not require a reconstruction of the synthesizer, has the same form as the own PCM cards and can very simply be placed in the ROM-slot of the M1. A total of 512 kByte are available for your own samples, exactly as the original cards.

It emulates and copies PCM cards – or enables you to create your own.

The sounds/waveforms of the following devices are available:
• DSS-1 / DSM-1 DWGS
• DW-8000 DWGS
• MS-2000 DWGS
• all sounds of the T-series

This card is still a full working beta model. The RC1 will be released in July 2018 and of course it'll be in a plastic case (we're working on it).
Finally, truly fresh sounds can be created using your new born Korg M1.

The Software is WIN - a version for Mac OSX is planned!

Take your M1 to the 21th century and visit www.waverex.de"

via WaveReX where you can find additional details:

"With WaveReX it is possible to create your own PCM cards on the computer (samples, multisounds, drumsounds), and use it on your M1. You can load your cards via USB from computer to the WaveReX."

"There is no doubt about it: the M1 truly changed the world of synthesizers! With its completely new sounds which have never been heard before, it has changed not only a whole music scene, but probably shaped the entire decade of the 90s. With approximately 250k sold synthesizers, it marked a milestone in the music and synthesizer history. 30 years have passed since KORG has released its prototype 731 at NAMM in 1988. Shortly after this release, the M1 Music Workstation has been introduced. Thankfully and reverently we, the M1-Fans, would like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

30 years later: The waiting has finally come to an end

Is it possible to link the M1 to the concepts and technologies of the 21st century such that the unique sounds can be preserved in future?

We say: Yes! …and made the almost impossible possible!

With WaveReX we made it possible to load own samples and waveforms into M1! WaveReX is an external card which, similar to the regular PCM cards, is inserted into the PCM DATA slot. Own samples can then be loaded in M1 to create own multisounds or drumsets. This enables you to explore entirely new sound dimensions. Limitations to internal waveforms or PCM-cards have finally been overcome.

No matter if you work with PCM-samples or Single Cycle Waveforms (DWGS) – all is possible! Simply compile a card on your PC and load it via USB on the card.

You want waveforms from Kawai K1, K4 or 5000 in your M1? No problem. You want synthesis and Waves à la PPG? Waveforms of analog classics (Moog, Roland etc.?).

Then the WaveReX is your solution! The WaveRex-Board is not just a sampler as AKAI or E-MU, but should enrich the possibilities of synthesis. The foundations have been laid in 1988. In 2018, the time has come to fully exploit the potential of M1 for the first time in history.
