Nicholas Semrad's Sequential Rev 2 "Vintage Tribute" Patch Set (Demo)

video upload by Nicholas Semrad

"Here is a demo video for my now available-for-purchase Sequential Prophet Rev 2 "Vintage Tribute" Patch Set. You can purchase these patches at my website, www.nicholastsemrad.com/shop.

These patches are meant for use with the Sequential Prophet Rev 2 (8 or 16 voice). They will not work with any other hardware or software programs.

This patch set contains 2 parts:
- 25 patches I created to emulate some of my favorite vintage synths and synth sounds from various 70's/80's recordings
- BONUS: 40 patches meant to pay homage to the first 40 presets on the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5

DISCLAIMER: While the patches that begin with "P5" are meant to pay homage to the original Prophet 5, they will not sound 'exactly' the same. The P5 and the Rev 2 are very different boards with very different modulation functions and data ranges."

The industry-defining five-voice polyphonic synth from 1980
Expertly modeled for the authentic sound, interactions, and performance of the original unit
Two versions included: the instrument and five modules for Modular

It's not overstating things to say that this five-voice synthesizer changed the future. The first synthesizer with a digital microprocessor to control the analog polyphonic synth engine and store sounds, it has graced hits from superstars such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Peter Gabriel, Radiohead, The Cars, and countless others.

With great reverence and proven modeling expertise, we captured every detail of this storied synth's circuit, interactions, and factory presets. The result is a revelation: the authentic sound, feel, and performance of an industry-defining instrument perfected for modern production. Like a prophecy from 1980 fulfilled, so cometh Model 80 Five Voice Synthesizer.

And a user video by Starsky Carr:

Softube Model 80 // Sounds like a Prophet 5 to me.

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Softube Model 80 put up against a Prophet 5 Rev 4. The Model 80 appears to be based on the Prophet 5 Rev 3 - there are a couple of minor things that the Rev3 does compared to the Rev4 .. so minor I'm having difficulty remembering as I write this! This is an amazing emulation."

Prophet X Showcase With Nicholas Semrad: Draw Me Nearer

video upload by Sequential

"Our friend Nicholas Semrad composed a few short pieces using only the Prophet X:

'Draw Me Nearer' uses string samples with a wide pan spread, with added reverb and a very short attack so that seem like pads, while still being able to have an attack that can keep up with some quickly moving changes. The "1985 Passionate Main" instrument is for the piano, low-passed quite a bit along with adding about 50 of key-tracking on the filter.

'Lots of the church pianos that I grew the fondest of were really dark, so that's why I low-passed it. I also added a touch of the Hall Reverb for some ambience.'

Prophet X Showcase with Nicholas Semrad: Double X

video upload by Sequential

"Our friend Nicholas Semrad composed a few short pieces using only the Prophet X:

'Double X' uses both the 1985 Passionate ‘Muted’ and ‘Main’ Pianos mixed together, along with the ‘Acoustic Long’ guitar sample - creating a patch that could loop in a beautiful way, but also be "playable" via the sliders, wheels, and aftertouch. Using aftertouch to decimate it, and the mod wheel to fully-wet the mix of the reverb effect, slider one changes the size of the loop for a longer, more drawn out loop, and slider two raises the gain of the distortion effect.

'The guitar sound aims for the Bibio-esque rootsy lo-fi guitar sound. I stacked two of the exact same ‘Acoustic Long’ guitar sounds together (with a high pass filter effect on both) so that I could get extra effects. One stack has a distortion to warm up the sound a bit, and the other has a little bit of reverb.'

Arturia OB-Xa J3PO Presets Collection - Official Demo Video

video upload by J3PO

"This video demos the 50 presets in the new 'Arturia OB-Xa J3PO Presets Collection.' The patch bank is available for purchase exclusively from https://www.julianpollack.com and the cost is $19. Instructions come with the pack for installation. It's quite simple to install.

This preset pack is roughly divided into three categories:

00:09 Soul/Hip-Hop/Fusion
08:39 Cinematic
15:32 Vintage/Synthwave/Funk

While I believe that no software emulation will ever capture every single detail and nuance of the original hardware, Arturia has a done a great job with this virtual synth, paying homage to the original Oberheim OB-Xa. With the additional features, modulation, and array of quite superb digital effects that the Arturia OB-Xa has to offer, this instrument has become a go-to synth in my digital arsenal. Similar to Sequential's new "vintage knob," the Arturia OB-Xa has controls under the hood to give variation to each voice, including pitch, filter envelope, filter cutoff, and more.

You must own the Arturia OB-Xa to use these patches.

I also have patches available for the Prophet Rev 2, Prophet 6, OB-6, Prophet 5/10, Softube Model 84 and a free bank of 50 sounds for the free VST synth “OB-Xd” — all available on my website. If you're a Nord Stage 3 user, download my bank from the Nord Keyboards website. I have two samples packs, "J3PO x The Ox" (hip hop and soul keyboard and drum loops) available on Splice, and "J3PO x Nicholas Semrad" keyboard samples and loops--available from https://www.julianpollack.com."

Nicholas Semrad's Sequential Rev 2 "2nd Edition" Patch Set (Demo)

video by Nicholas Semrad

"Here is a demo video for my now available-for-purchase Sequential Prophet Rev 2 "2nd Edition" Patch Set. You can purchase these patches at my website, www.nicholastsemrad.com/shop. If you've already purchased the first set, send me an email at "nicholastsemrad@gmail.com" with the subject line "Proof of Purchase" and a screenshot of your receipt and I'll send you a coupon code for $10 off for this set!

I've made another 50 patches (10 basses, 10 leads, 10 pads, and 20 aux key patches) for this set and it includes many patches I've recorded with and played live. For this set, I've really taken advantage of the stereo spread and some advanced modulation techniques to capture a bit more of the old-school instability of the original Prophet synths while still mixing it with many new sounds.

Thanks again to Emily Hoerdemann for the cover design!"
