MATRIXSYNTH

1 California by Cindy Morrow

"Born into a musical family, San Francisco native Morrow grew up studying classical and jazz music, eavesdropped on her sister's Kraftwerk and Yellow Magic Orchestra vinyl rotations, blew her mind listening to a new band called Depeche Mode on a schoolbus during a field trip, and (re)discovered Philip Glass in Music History class & prog rock at the Laserium. She established her own groove in 80s synthpop & 90s shoegaze, and rounded out her playlists with modular and ambient music. Many hours of listening were had while riding Muni. This personal album comprises and embraces four decades of musical obsession, affection, and anguish."

Arturia Prophet V Demo and Tutorial (Prophet 5 and VS modes)

CatSynth TV

"Part 1 of our demo and tutorial of Arturia's Prophet V, a recreation of both the legendary Prophet 5 and VS by Sequential Circuits. In this video we present the P5 and VS modes, including patch editing. Part 2 will focus on the "hybrid mode" that combines the P5 and VS into a single novel instrument.

00:13 Introduction to P5, VS and Hybrid modes
00:42 Prophet 5 mode: architecture and patch programming
04:26 Prophet VS mode: architecture and patch programming
10:14 Exploring factory presets (P5 and VS)
17:55 Final thoughts and Hybrid mode teaser

'The Prophet 5 was the first totally programmable synthesizer on the market. This revolutionary synth became the basis for all other polysynths to this day. The Prophet VS was the last synth made by SCI and again it set the synth world on its ear. Its digital vector synthesis brought a new soundscape that was then carried on in products from Korg and Yamaha...While the Prophet 5 was known for its 2 oscillator analog warmth, the Prophet VS used four digital wave table oscillators giving a crystal and clear sound. We have recreated both of these classic machines to give them the detail heard in the originals.'"

"Rare Schober Tunesmith Synthesizer - American made analog synth originally sold as kit. I tested it and it does have output, but it is a constant tone and the keys all play the same note. The knobs do effect the sound but something is obviously off. Needs some love."
