There’s also a knob called Slop that adds some inconsistency - up to a maximum of around ☑ semitone - to the tuning of the oscillators. As on the Prophet 5, you can sync Osc1 to Osc2, and Osc2 offers detune, a low-frequency option, and a switch to disconnect it from the keyboard. In contrast, you can obtain just a single waveform per oscillator on the Prophet 6, although this is continuously variable from triangle, through ramp and then to pulse-wave shapes. ![]() It offers two VCOs per voice, but these are not recreations of the Prophet 5’s oscillators, which offered simultaneous ramp and pulse/PWM waves on Osc1, and simultaneous ramp, triangle and pulse/PWM waves on Osc2. The Prophet 6 is, as its name implies, a six-voice polysynth. Then, when Ikutaro Kakehashi of Roland Corporation suggested to Yamaha that they return the Sequential Circuits name to Dave Smith, and Yamaha generously did so, the idea became too strong to resist. But by the time that 2014 rolled around, the people at DSI had long been considering building a VCO/VCF/VCA polysynth. The second was for the much more powerful Prophet 12, but some analogue purists, many of whom I’m fairly sure had never played one, objected to its SHARC-powered digital oscillators. The first time was for the Prophet 08, which married DCOs and an analogue signal path to digital contour generators and modulators, and this was generally well received. ![]() Once again allowed to use the Sequential name, Dave Smith’s latest instrument is a tribute to a genuinely classic synthesizer.īefore the launch of the Prophet 6, DSI had already resurrected the Prophet name twice.
