Behringer Pro-1 vs Prophet 6 and Toraiz AS-1

Published on Nov 15, 2019 Starsky Carr

"A look at how close the Prophet 6 is to the Pro-1 demonstrating the sonic similarities and differences between Behringer's Pro-1 and the Pioneer DJ Toraiz AS-1 synth, which is effectively a single voice of the Prophet 6.

It's not a comprehensive comparison .. I've not played with the High Pass or FX or demo'd the additional capabilities of the P6 and Toriaz. This video is purely just to see if they share sonic fingerprints with the Pro-1.

Deepmind 12 Vs Prophet 6: Why the huge price difference?

Published on Nov 8, 2018 Starsky Carr

"A look at why some synths are more expensive than others. The Prophet 6 is 3.5 x the cost of the Behringer Deepmind 12. Is one overpriced, or the other amazing value...?

From a practical perspective what are the differences and is the price difference really justified?

I'm not saying one is overpriced or the other is cheap or poor quality, I'm really trying to take a completely unbiased view of the differences.

If you can't get your hands on ether or both you may have wondered why yourself.... hopefully this can go some way to answering the question.

Dave Smith: OB6 vs Pro6

Published on Jul 20, 2018 Starsky Carr

"A quick tour of DSI's OB6 and Prophet .

I've tried to give a feel for how they sound individually rather than recreate sound on both as they've got such different characters. They're so similar in their architecture, but so different sonically, I hope I've captured it in 30 mins.

This might give an idea of which is best for your studio, which might cut through in your mixes or fit with your current rig.

I don't consider one is 'better' than the other, they simply have different characters.

Hopefully someone will find it useful ;)_

enjoy....

"Track made using only DSI Prophets and Tempest

Realised my latest track was an all DSI affair, so thought I'd upload a quick video.

Vintage video FX just to add to the atmosphere :)

Moog Sub 37 vs Prophet 6 : Bass

Published on Dec 16, 2016 Starsky Carr

"A look at how the Prophet 6 copes with making some Moog style bass sounds (whatever they may be!!)

Not exactly scientific. We all know how nice the Prophet 6 sounds on pads etc so just taking a look at how it can take on Bass duties."
