"Out December 18th

Here is the 3rd of 4 Videos, highlighting Patches 65 to 96 of X-plorations Vol 1 for the Sequential Prophet X. I decided to do a Bank for the Prophet X, however I went and Sampled a variety of Oscillators from the Synths that I own, including Moog ONE, Dreadbox Erebus, Moog Sirin, Matriarch and much more.

I've sampled the Oscillators wide open and every Key across a 61 note range and used the Synthesis capabilities of the Prophet X. I have also utilized some of the Factory Content, such as Strings and Choirs for some of the Patches, as well as the on-board Oscillators.

Many Patches are Stacked or Splits, however many use the fantastic Stereo Filter for Evolving pads, Strings, Leads, Bass and so much more.

DSI CHOOSES SOUND SEMICONDUCTOR FILTER CHIP FOR PROPHET X

If you are curious what filter chip is used in Dave Smith Instruments' new Sequential Prophet X, it's the new SSI2144 from Sound Semiconductor, designed by Dave Rossum of E-Mu fame, and the new Rossum Electro-Music. The SSI2144 is a new and improved version of the SSM2044 used in many classic vintage synths. The official press release from Sound Semiconductor follows:

"DSI CHOOSES SOUND SEMICONDUCTOR FILTER CHIP FOR PROPHET X

SSI2144 Filter Perfect Complement to Sample and Synthesis Engine

June 6, 2018 – Audio IC specialist Sound Semiconductor today announced that venerable synthmaker Dave Smith Instruments selected the SSI2144 Fatkeys™ Four-Pole Voltage Controlled Filter for its groundbreaking Prophet X.

The Prophet X fuses samples and synthesis into a single keyboard for unprecedented stage and studio capability. Built around a bi-timbral stereo 8-voice DSP engine with a massive 150GB internal memory, the Prophet X provides cutting edge samples created by sound designers 8DIO. Also included are dual digital oscillators per voice with a wide range of waveforms and great flexibility on how they’re used.

Samples and waveform generation start in the digital domain but grounded in the real world through sixteen analog filters. Dave and his development team chose the newly available SSI2144 due to its classic ladder sound in an affordable and modern IC footprint.

Sound Semiconductor was founded in 2016 by original SSM staffers – many of whom carried forward the SSM vision at Analog Devices – to develop high performance ICs for professional audio and electronic music. The SSI2144 is an updated and improved re-issue of the SSM2044, which many believe to be the best-sounding filter IC ever produced. Both the SSM2044 and SSI2144 were designed by electronic music icon Dave Rossum.


The SSI2144 was quickly followed by the SSI2164, a significantly improved direct-replacement for the SSM2164 Quad VCA. More products are in development.

"SSM chips were at the core of Rev One and Two Prophet 5’s," stated Dan Parks, President of Sound Semiconductor. "So it feels great to be back in a Prophet our the new SSI2144.”

Sound Semiconductor is composed of musicians and technologists with the goal of developing affordable, high-performance integrated circuits for the electronic music and professional audio markets. For more information, please visit www.soundsemiconductor.com."

Kawai K1 & Yamaha FB-01 Sample Pack for Prophet X and SF2

video upload by Espen Kraft

"A new patch bank for the Prophet X. Also available in the SF2 format for Logic and the Tal Sampler.
50 multi-samples from the Kawai K1 and Yamaha FB-01. Great sounds to add texture and depth to your music and productions.

The samples were originally meant for MY Prophet X, for my live needs. A way of having all my vintage synths in one keyboard when doing live gigs doing MY own songs as faithful as possible to my albums.
Every sample in here has been recorded by me personally and sounds exactly how I want them to sound. They've all been recorded through the Yamaha DMP7 digital mixer for extra mojo.
Many of the samples are velocity layered multi samples, some upwards of 30-50 samples per set.
Be aware that this pack is the multi-samples only.
IMPORTANT info for Prophet X users: This sample user add-on pack is imported like this : px/u01

If you want to purchase this bank, please send me an email and I'll give you the download details.
Please specify if you want the Prophet X or SF2 bank. They cost the same.

My CONTACT email address is this: espenkraft69@gmail.com
Price is $15 USD or €15 Euros if that's your preferred currency. PayPal only. * The above email is NOT the one to use for payment. That will be given upon ordering.

If you haven't already bought my big epic Prophet X sample- and patch bank from before, I'll be happy to offer both that AND this new one in a bundled price of $40 USD (or €40 Euros) combined. Let me know in the email."

8dio OB-X Add-On for the Sequential Prophet-X / XL

via Sequential

"8Dio has announced a new 'OBX' Add-On pack for the Prophet X and Prophet XL, which is now available for download from their website. The download is approximately 900 MB.

The $48 Add-On pack features over 1,781 samples, 41 custom instruments, and 32 custom presents including Layer A and Layer B for each. The Add-On pack was created by deep-sampling a vintage OBX synthesizer.

The Add-On pack requires Prophet X OS v2.1 or higher.

The Prophet X was designed to accommodate up to 50 GB of 16-bit, 48 kHz user-generated and third-party content. Imported sample content can be used to create custom instruments and patches. Sampled instruments can be augmented with the Prophet X’s own synthesis engine, which features 2 digital oscillators, stereo analog filters, and a multitude of sound-shaping controls.

For more information about other Add-On Packs, including The Last Prophet (the last production model of the Prophet-5 ever made) and the ARP 2600, visit 8Dio’s website."

Sequential Debuts Eight New 8Dio Sample Packs for Prophet X at NAMM

"Anaheim, CA—Jan 23, 2019— At this year’s NAMM convention, Sequential will debut eight new add-on packs from sound developer 8Dio for their flagship samples-plus-synthesis keyboard, the Prophet X. The sample packs are focused largely on vintage synthesizers and include the Minimoog Model D, Sequential Circuits T8, Oberheim OBX, ARP 2600, Juno 60, Jupiter 6, Moog Prodigy, as well as a new deep-sampled piano.

The Prophet X has garnered critical acclaim for its sonic versatility and sound design capabilities through its substantial internal library of 150 GB of sample content as well as its ability to import up to 50 GB of additional user samples and add-on content from sound developers.

All sample content can be manipulated by the Prophet X sound engine, which powers two simultaneous sample-based instruments plus two high-resolution digital oscillators, with a full complement of traditional synthesis tools, all processed through analog filters. Dual digital effects and a 64-step polyphonic sequencer round out the package. In standard performance mode, the instrument provides bi-timbral, 8-voice stereo, or 16-voice mono operation. 32-voice performance mode, allows paraphonic filter operation when using a single sampled instrument and oscillator.

'I’m excited to introduce these new Prophet X add-ons from 8dio at NAMM,” commented Dave Smith. They add an interesting vintage slant to a very modern synth. To have these classic instruments available to perform with or to manipulate with the Prophet X synthesis engine makes an already-powerful musical tool even more versatile. '

Dave will be representing Sequential at the NAMM show at Meeting Room TKAB.

The add-ons packs will be available for download from 8Dio’s website at a date to be determined after the show.

Disclamer: All musical instrument manufacturer and product names used in add-on packs by 8Dio are trademarks of their respective owners, which are in no way associated or affiliated with 8Dio or Sequential LLC."

Official Prophet X and XL Mapping Utility Overview Published on Dec 17, 2018 8dioproductions

"Link: https://8dio.com/instrument-category/...

The Prophet X and Prophet XL provide two fully independent, stereo sample based instruments per voice (up to 4 in Stack/Split mode). Samples can be manipulated through various onboard modulation, sample stretching, in-depth loop controls, tone shaping, a vast array on board effects and of course a true stereo analog low-pass filter.

With the free 8Dio Mapping Utility you are now able to import your very own samples into the Prophet X or XL.

While 8Dio continues to offer an ever-growing range of Official Add-On Packs, the Mapping Utility is a great way for you to incorporate older recordings into this modern classic.

The workflow has been designed so that you can directly import, assign, adjust mapping and label your own sample-sets, ready for loading in to your Prophet X or XL."

Regarding how much space you have to work with, via Sequential:

"150 GB of factory-installed 16-bit, 48 kHz sampled instruments created by 8Dio. An additional 50 GB of samples can be added by purchasing additional sound libraries. User-sample import is planned for December, 2018."

The patch starts with an ethnic Bulbul Tarang (aka Indian Banjo) playing a tremolo texture - the filter opens and a supersaw and sine osc is added on top. The Bulbul Tarang is mixed out with the synths and a solo Cor Anglais (aka English Horn) takes over the mix.

The demo ends with all the Cor Anglais, Bulbul Tarang, Supersaw and Sine waves all mixed together - and slop is added for detuning and retuning."
