some synth bass on the prophet 5 with j3po

J3PO

"here's a quick little improvisation on the Sequential Prophet 5 using one of my favorite types of synth bass sounds. It's essentially a square wave with a touch of resonance and low pass filter envelope action. hope you like it. all sounds in this video (except drums) are coming from the P5.

this patch is included in my latest patch pack or the Prophet 5 reissue. ;)

BLIND TEST: Prophet 5/10 REV4 vs Prophet 6 // Can you tell the difference? // (J3PO remix...)

"Thanks very much to J3PO for sending me the raw files for this video!

Julian is a keyboard player and producer, tours with Marcus Miller and several members of Snarky Puppy, and works closely with Sequential and Nord Keyboards, most recently contributing to some of the factory presets for the Prophet 10 as well as the new Nord Wave 2.

Surprise! OB-6 Easter Egg Reveal With J3PO

Sequential

"Just when you thought you knew everything about the OB-6, J3PO reveals a hidden feature — our “spring reverb thwack” easter egg. Works on both OB-6 and Prophet-6. Give it a thwack yourself!"

What the what?? How is this even possible? Built-in motion sensor? Curious if it works on the desktop versions as well. Just don't "thwack" them off the table trying. :)

J3PO Prophet 5 Patches - Official Sounds Demo

J3PO

www.j3po.net

"The J3PO Prophet 5 Patches — for the Sequential Prophet 5/Prophet 10 synthesizer.

You can buy these (80) presets for your Prophet 5 (rev 4) or Prophet 10 (rev 4) from www.j3po.net. These presets work EXCLUSIVELY with the Prophet 5 (rev 4) and Prophet 10 (rev 4) hardware synthesizers, both keyboard and desktop versions, from Sequential. These presets DO NOT work with any plugin or virtual instrument.

There are 80 patches in this pack and they will load to groups 4 and 5 on your Prophet 5/10 synthesizer. On sale right now for $45.

Inspired by the sounds of yesterday and today, this set of patches features tones inspired by the original Prophet 5 synthesizer and music from the early 80s as well as the contemporary sounds of today. It is important to note that the Prophet 5/10 does not contain any internal FX and the demo is recorded such WITHOUT any external processing. It is recommended to experiment with high quality effects such as chorus, delay, and reverb to further enhance the sound and playing experience of the patches. To hear a 'fully realized' version of many of these patches, please check out my Prophet 5 Reissue video here:" [posted here]

what's the difference between the prophet 5 reissue and the prophet 6?

J3PO

"In this video, we take a deep dive into the key differences between the Sequential Prophet 5/Prophet 10 (Rev 4) Reissue and the Sequential Prophet 6. This video focuses on the sound and functionality of the two synthesizers; where they differ and where they overlap.

Chapters:

00:12 - Introduction
00:58 - Part 1: Prophet 6 "main" differences
04:03 - Part 2: Prophet 5/10 "main" differences
06:48 - Part 3: "direct" sound comparisons (similar patches)
27:17 - Part 4: patches that begin to reveal inherent differences
32:44 - Part 5: Prophet 6 "unique" patches
39:31 - Part 6: Prophet 5/10 patches, demonstrating raw "tone" & "timbre"
48:55 - Part 7: Conclusion and Final Thoughts

The two synthesizers were recorded directly into Pro Tools at 48khz with Universal Audio Apollo preamps. No external FX were used in the recording of the sounds unless where noted in the video. The two synths were leveled in terms of gain as carefully as possible to create the most unbiased listening environment.

Three things to note when viewing this video:

1. I use the terms "Prophet 5" and "Prophet 10" interchangeably, as the only difference between the two synths is that the Prophet 10 has five additional voices.

1. Though I contributed to some of the "factory" presets for the Sequential Prophet 5/10 (rev 4), we are not comparing "factory" presets in this video. I have crafted all the presets in this presentation to show you as carefully as possible how similar the synths can sound, and how vastly different they can sound.

2. We will not be discussing any of the technicalities of "what's under the heard" in terms of components, but rather, focusing on sound and functionality, and the experience. For technical information, please visit www.sequential.com."

Prophet 5 80s Cinematic Vibes with J3PO

J3PO

"Here's a simple patch I created for the Prophet 5 with Vangelis and 80s science fiction movies in mind. It's just a saw tooth wave with some subtle pitch modulation. Reverb by Strymon Big Sky. Enjoy."

J3PO tries out the DCO-106 Juno-106 emulator

J3PO

"Thanks to my friends over at Cherry Audio for sending over their new Juno-106 emulator. This thing is really fun to make sounds on! Light on the CPU, and the FX are great. This is an overdubbed jam with some of the first sounds I made on the synth when I got it. Pardon the shaky camera on the keyboard, this was the first video I made in my new studio!"

Nord Wave 2 Tutorials feat. J3PO: #1 Layers and Groups

Introducing the first episode of our inspiring new Nord Wave 2 tutorial series by Julian ”J3PO” Pollack!

J3PO - "Morse Code" - Prophet 5 Reissue - first track

J3PO

"This is the first track I made with the Prophet 5 reissue after I had finished making a bunch of presets for it (still looking forward to seeing which ones will be chosen for the factory banks). The lead patch that I'm playing in this video utilizes the famed poly-mod section. Oscillator 2 is being used as a key-tracked polyphonic LFO (pulse wave) modulating the filter to create different tempos of the "morse code" sound.

All sounds in this video are made by the Prophet 5 except for the drums, which are mostly Roland TR-808 samples, constructed in XLN Audio's XO drum plugin.

Hope you enjoy this one. :)

Exploring DCO-106 with J3PO

Cherry Audio

"The producer extraordinaire J3PO recently sat down with the DCO-106, and shared the results!

DCO-106 offers a precise recreation of the iconic polysynth, with over 300 presets, 16 voice polyphony, three reverb modes, MPE support, and much more.

The DCO-106 is both easy to understand and powerful to explore, creating a massive array of sonic landscapes, cutting lead sounds, warm and hazy pads, punchy synthetic electro drums, and far more."

THE NEW PROPHET 5 REISSUE - JULIAN "J3PO" POLLACK DEMO

J3PO

"Well, it's finally here, people! Sequential has reissued the iconic, legendary, beloved and incredible Prophet 5 synthesizer. This is truly an incredible moment in synthesizer history. I am so humbled and honored to have been asked to be part of the team to sound design and create new factory presets for this instrument.

In this video, you will hear a bunch of sounds I created for the Prophet 5. Some are included factory, while others will appear in a sound bank I will release in due time.

It is important to note that the Prophet 5 reissue, like the original, does NOT contain any onboard effects. In this video, I used combinations of chorus, delay, and reverb and other FX to create the best ambience for the recording. I used the Strymon trifecta: Mobius (modulation), Timeline (delay), and Big Sky (reverb). Some folks may ask, "don't you miss having onboard FX?" The answer: not at all. Like all of the great vintage synthesizers, all the weight and effort was put into the synthesizer components. To me, it's almost better to have your signal processing separate. Then you have the best of both worlds.

The Prophet 5 reissue (or “Rev 4”) has been built to the same specs as the original, with a few subtle additions for stability, patch memory, and extended features. For all intents and purposes, this IS the original Prophet 5, but built in 2020. I can tell you, it is a gorgeous instrument. The way it sounds, the way it feels, the way it looks, the nostalgia…everything!

Not only is the Prophet 5 being reissued, but also a 10 voice version is being reissued: the Prophet 10! Yes…a 10 voice version!

Some of you will notice that there is no "Prophet 5" placard right above the righthand part of the keyboard. This is because this was a beta unit. I assure you that all production units will have the iconic "Prophet 5" logo where the indentation on the wood is.

Visit www.sequential.com for more information on how to place your order for the Prophet 5 or Prophet 10.
