2 Studio Essential Synths You Need To Hear! - Sequential Prophet-10 Vs Moog One

[@jessejarrar]

Taking a 5 hour road trip for a prophet 10 this weekend. I'm bubbling over with excitement!

[@lecanardaimeLAKland]

Blessed to have both and both have their own characteristics that differentiate them from each other! I can’t choose one over another!

[@jfracine_composition]

Hi ! I'm actively looking to buy a One, but the only thing that pulls me back a bit is the tuning issues. Have you had problems with it ? Thanks a lot !

[@MotorHolmes]

The Moog One has the specs of an absolute dream rig, but I so infrequently hear it sounding like a dream rig.

[@E-1K]

I think Prophets might be my #1 favourite analog synth. Just so epic. Idk what Dave Smith did so very right.... a 100% fantastic job.

[@christopherpederson1021]

it’s got the best name also.

[@franknobel4715]

Just the fact that you enjoy show casing your improvisation skills on the keys as much as the synthesizers themselves makes these videos amazing. Just jamming like anyone would in a session! live it

[@KeithTrigwell]

It a great video idea but these are very different beasts from the two leading manufacturers. The Prophet 5\10 is a very well considered reissue of an old, very well regarded classic musical instrument. It is so well created in fact that the 5 (or 10) sits beautifully next to the 6. Hence it being mono. It’s all about it’s legitimacy as a re-issue. The Moog One however is an execution of modern leading edge analogue technology, producing probably the most powerful analogue poly to date. An exceptional synth. Astonishing in fact. So, “Studio centrepiece” wise, if someone’s going to pull the trigger on one of these it very much depends on the type of thing they do and where their interests lie. If it’s recreating those classic sounds, the 10 all day long. If it’s to get the widest palette, maybe for a sound designer pushing the limit, then the One. They are so different in fact, you can justify both. They can co exist. Both utterly superb companies.

[@christopherklein4203]

Nailed it! I have both and I couldn’t break it down any better than this.

[@KeithTrigwell]

@@christopherklein4203 you have no ideas how jealous I am 😂. I’ve had the Prophet 6 a few months after launch and adore it. But I don’t have the funds for either of these. Not until my publisher lands something g juicy.

[@christopherklein4203]

@@KeithTrigwell Hey, the Prophet 6 is an incredible synth. I have been collecting synths for years and to be real... I love the the Prophet 5/10, but I still don’t know if I prefer those sounds over the Prophet 6 sounds. I think you may feel the same if you get a chance to play one. But the Moog one is something else entirely. If you can afford to save up for one and have that and the Prophet 6, or just have the Moog One by itself I think you would be set for life. Haha. Prophet 6 is amazing for performing tho if you happen to gig. The Moog one and the Prophet 5/10 is too big to drag around. :)

[@davebellamy4867]

@@KeithTrigwell Same here. The Prophet-6 has been underrated by a lot of people since its launch because it isn't a Prophet-5. It has beautiful tone. I think the Prophet-10 here sounds just a bit different from the 6 but not so very much. For me here the P10 kills the Moog One but maybe it's just the patch programming. The first few M1 sounds are very mundane until 12:30 where the M1 Sounds a bit like the OB-6.

[@TinnyBashing]

The problem with Moog is the presets aren't very good. To extract the beautiful sonic glory of the ONE you have to create the sounds yourself. I've found that i've been able to create some very classic sounding patches myself but of course you have to have an understanding of how they were made in the first place.

[@RIP_Milhouse]

Great insight. And if somebody does not have such an understanding... They have no business spending 10k on a machine like it 🤣

[@juniorvicepresidentofzimba4946]

Yep this is my experience too.

[@DrChopz]

True. Most of the Moog One’s presets are a bit flat. But, with some effort fantastic patches are achievable.

[@mrdali67]

Honestly, its not much different from other synths, brand new uptodate ones or old vintage ones. The Prophet's patches not that great either. just as most other synths. It's all up to the user to design interesting sounds or buy some killer patches from people that have the imagination (and time) learning to use the synth. Most synths I have owned first shines when you start making sounds yourself. If I had the money for the Prophet 10 or Moog One 8 to use live without any outboard gear, I'd go for the Moog as it have much more possibilities to sound "big" without any extra effects. But then again .. if you have the money to even considder a Moog One, you propably have enough to buy what ever extra effect gear you want 😅 Both are amazing synths if you can use them to their full potential .. just like most other keyboards. If you can only play very simple stuff or don't have the knowledge to program them why bother... Not all the best keyboard gear is gonna make you a better player 🙂

[@mitsanut5869]

[@KNHSynths]

Prophet is a reissue; we all have its sound somewhere in our head. The Moog One is a new machine, thought to be used today by today's musicians creating today's music. I don't feel you can compare them just because they are very expensive flag ships. They are two different beasts. The Moog One has a very wide range of sounds and will fit any serious sound designer needs. The P10 is speaking to our heart more than to our brain. It sounded perfect a long ago, it sounds perfect today because more than being fabulous on itself it has the sound of our memories. Both machines are magical and prove their creators are genius. So ... if you have the money for one you've good for both, buy both and live long and prosper ! :-) The question is "if you can take only one, which one you'll take ?". If you think with your heart, it will be the P10, if you think with your brain, it will be the M1 !

[@christopherklein4203]

I have both. Moog one is my all time fav synth next to the my Electric Blue Voyager. You can do whatever you want with the one. Its a complete “modern” synth but if you wanna get it vintage sounding you can program it to behave that way. The depth of how you can program it to sound like whatever you’re picturing is the magic about it. The versatility is amazing when you start adding beautiful eventide effects to it. The most fun synth to record with. That’s for sure. The Prophet 10 has that 80’s horror movie sound tho which is my thing. It’s does the vintage John Carpenter thing right out the box. And I LOVE the presets. It does all the old school 80’s sounds you heard on all those classic records. Great to perform and records with.

When I’ve sat with the One and started from init I remember feeling like it didn’t have as much beef as I’d like. The Minimoog right next to it sounded glorious. The P10 has that presence right from the start. Of course the One is vastly more complex than the P10. But I’m finding as I grow as a synthesist and player I don’t need all the bells and whistles and would rather something that just sounds amazing.

When I got my Moog One, I nearly sent it straight back as I thought I had a dud. The preset volumes vary massively and as you walk through them, if they have effects you get some weird noise in the buffer from the previous sound. It was positioned as a platform to build on, yet all they’ve done is fix all the initial bugs. However, it’s a chameleon of a synth and can sound like anything. I’m fortunate to also have a Prophet 5 Rev 4. I wouldn’t trade either of them and with the announcement today of Moog Asheville closing I’m glad I’ve got a US built Moog.

Prophet 10 has that glorious Vintage sound, but for me the Moog one would be the one If I could only keep one. Ha ;)

[@christopherklein4203]

@TheRustyPeppers Hey, if that’s the feeling you get when you play it, than maybe it’s not for you. Every time I turn it on I understand exactly why it costs what it does after I’ve created something magical with it. I can create a patch in a few minutes (not an hour) that’s unlike anything I’ve ever heard before. No other synth I own I get that same feeling. Almost every time I try to creating a sound from my mind, I end up creating something awesome that I didn’t mean to create. The patches I’ve been able to make are some of my favorite sounds I’ve ever created on any synth. Now, don’t get me wrong, Prophet 10 does some amazing vintage sounds, but I still don’t even know if I like the sounds better than what I can get out of my Prophet 6 to be honest. And I payed 2500 for my Prophet 6 which is considerably less than my Prophet 10. And I really don’t think you can say any well made synth just “sounds better” than any other high quality synth. That’s a completely subjective thing. What I believe you’re paying for with the Moog one is the million things it can do. The eventide effects of comes with, all the mods, the sound design aspect you can fall into so easily, even the keys are my fav from any synth I own. It’s pretty much a perfect synth and whether you’re wanting a fat bass patch, pad sounds, or creepy horror music stuff for a soundtrack it can do it all. It’s the one synth where I feel like you’ll continually evolve with it as years go by. And it still has that Moog sound. Now I don’t know if it’s perfect for everyone. Maybe it’s too overwhelming and it can do too much for some musicians. But yeah, I play my Moog One considerably more than my Prophet 10. I record so much with it, it’s ridiculous. Even my GF likes to play the Moog one over my other synths and she loves the stock patches a lot. And that’s usually how I judge these synths. How much time do I spend on them and how much fun do I have playing them. So there’s that! 👍

How much more would the Prophet-10 be with another OSC, multiple display screens and a lot of other stuff the One has? I think price is comparable, considering what you’re getting, though I think I’d prefer it if Moog did just an updated Memorymoog for less over the One.

[@VincentPresley]

Presets on both are crap (like most synths). The P10 is about as simple as synths come and the Moog One is about as deep and complex as they come. People that say they don't like how the One sounds either only watched youtube videos or have no idea how to make a patch. The One absolutely kills the P10 in every way. The only thing I like about the P10 is it's look. These two synths are about as different as two analog poly synths could possibly be.

[@Connor_Sherlock]

the prophet 10 sounds like a good synth, the moog one sounds like a monk blessed a log in the 11th century and now it makes music

[@eriklucasmusic]

I don’t understand this analogy

[@HiLoMusic]

Connor does that mean you prefer the one?

[@maryd6286]

Somehow, this is the exactly perfect description.

[@WithTheGrain]

God that prophet is huge

[@stevenwhite8936]

does either of those beasts sit on a normal stand ?

[@kennethvaughn8884]

Is the Prophet 10 a mono synth? I noticed the single output. Is the headphone stereo or dual mono? Are there stereo effects on the synth?

[@simenskari]

Mono and dual mono headphone out. No effects

[@RayyMusik]

Wouldn‘t it make more sense to compare similar patches?

[@jackduxbury1632]

Perhaps it would but I'd need alot more time than what I had please forgive me Ray - you're one of my heroes!! 🤣

[@RayyMusik]

Just send me a P10 and a MO, I‘d program matching patches for you. :)

[@SerErris]

Tuning of the Prophet before playing would have been great ;) patch 111 is not that retuned ... it is actually a very analog sounding, it not damaged analog sounding patch

[@socksincrocks]

Those are not the normal P5/10 presets supplied by Sequential. Where did you get these? Is ti possible to share?

[@markaprill6501]

Nice shout out to j3po guy is way underrated. I love his style.

[@BecomingProductions]

Ill be interested to hear this later. Of course its not much of a comparison as the Prophet is massively limited in features in comparison. Thats not going to be a surprise to anyone as its based on a 40 year old design. The raw tone should still hold up though so will be curious to give this a proper listen.

[@apersonontheinternet8034]

The Prophet sounds like an awesome recreation of a vintage synth, full of character. The Moog just sounds like a posh VST in comparison. Still, for that money, I'd get a Novation Summit and an OB6 together. Summit brings all the great sounds and OB6 brings truckloads of character. Together they absolutely walk all over either of the two here (I'd even argue the OB6 can do that on its own).

[@davebellamy4867]

I got OB6 and Hydrasynth. Also Prophet-6, secondhand, bought first). Feel no need for anything else. Maybe a sampler?😂 Prophet-6 and OB-6 are so different. They go well together and they have same layout. A joy to play. OB6 is so lively. It talks. It's like the OB6 is excitable and the P6 is calmly musical. The Hydra I haven't really explored properly. That would take an age.

[@davebellamy4867]

The OB6 sounds awesome and for some reason mine reminds me sometimes of the old SSM Prophet-5s. It doesn't have self oscillating filter but has a sort of fineness in the sound and thinness that you can get, more a kind of lightness to the resonance that reminds me of the old P5 filter, more so than the newer P5, P10 and P6. The OB-6 is ECCENTRIC!

[@Nospoon777]

I'm rockin OB6 Matriarch myself! 😎

[@antoniorusso5149]

I had a Moog One and just couldn’t get that analog organic sound from it like I can with my Prophet 10. Ob-6 nails it. I went for a Summit as well. Together they are a match made in heaven. I may ad an Ob-6 in the future.

[@lophophoraflower9794]

The prophet-10 patches are not the factory presets (the factory button is not illuminated). Notably, the first preset on the prophet-10 here (111) sounds nothing like the actual factory 111 preset.

What a weird comparison:)) it would be very creative to compare first presets 😂😂😂

[@deeperthanhouse]

Nice. Though a much fairer sound comparison would've been to turn off ALL of the MOOG ONE's [global] effects

[@davlippo7]

Seemed like the Moog was more EP/piano playable so just depends on your needs. Just the first 10 presets so who knows.

[@RobFlaxMusic]

Both are clear winners. I feel like I'm hearing more uncharted territory on the Moog One... Would love to see a video on the Novation Summit (perhaps in a shootout with the Korg Prologue)?

[@passivehouseaustralia4406]

rev2 vs prologue !?!

[@calebnei8276]

If you were giving them away and I had to pick one, it’s the P10 for me.

[@kylew706]

Came expecting the moog, but the prophet seems better, you can see jacks playing is more playful on the prophet

[@sirgaryo]

How can you compare two different makes by playing different voicings and totally different things on each one ???

[@deborahgay9275]

Fx on the moog one are only ruining it. One question : Why ?? it sounds dull as an access virus. The prophet is much more present and liquid sounding, very true to its familly. Memorymoogs where all about dirt and growl .. boys what have you done to him ??

[@stereowarrior]

Thanks for doing this :) I'm trying to figure out if a P10 would bring something new to the table for a M1 owner. It certainly is inspiring in its simplicity and the sound is amazing.

[@kimzim2001]

Owning the Korg M1 I can't imagine you would need any of these...

[@stereowarrior]

@@kimzim2001 My bad, I was abbreviating too much. I was referring to the Moog One (and Prophet 10). I did get the Prophet 10 and gotta say it's immediacy is fantastic and the raw tone shakes the foundations of my house. I have a feeling I could match at least most of the sounds on the Moog but it would take some effort. The Moog usually feels a bit smoothed out, I guess making it record ready in a sense.

[@MFASonic]

I must say this comparison is the prototype of comparing apples with pears. Both synths are great at what they do, and one (sic!) costs 3 times more. Clear that the P10 always sounds more direct: It's mono and has no FX. On the other hand, blindly listening, there are only a very few patches (that all have nothing to do with each other, btw.) where I would choose the Sequential. For what it actually does, I almost always prefer my vintage Juno-60 (bought 2003 for about 800 USD, what's more or less its real value, and only little maintenance cost ever since) for fast sounds and my OB-Xa (don't ask about all the headache!) for lush pads. And now? You can have the P10 for about 3000 USD as a module. That's a good price for a good vintage-emulating synth with a great OS and perfect craftsmanship. I guess it will not need any maintenance before the year 2040. I don't regret spending the money, but I hope that in the future Sequential will release the Pro3 with 10 voices - that would be very nice. Or you can have the One16 (don't buy 8) for 9000 USD. It has more often than not a shitty/faulty/custom keybed, a slow OS that even emits crackles if you search for presets, it has noisy fans and isn't very fast, especially when using OSC compensation. But: It can do almost everything if you take your time! It's three times multitimbral. It has Eventide FX on board (some people complained about that, but well...). It makes you play and program for hours and hours, days and days. It has the most complex mod matrix ever built into a non-modular synth I guess. It is MY desert island synth, yes. Just make sure you have internet on the desert island, because OS 2.0 will arrive sooner or later and hopefully iron out some bugs.

Good Job Jack

[@fizmo100]

Great demo of two amazing synths. I think the Moog tips it for me, just has a clarity and complexity to the sound the Prophet doesn't match (as far as I can hear in an 8-preset demo of course). Whether I could ever justify spending that sort of money on the Moog One... I dunno. I just picked up a Modal 002 for less than half what the Prophet 10 cost, never mind the Moog, and I think I prefer it over both of the above. No doubt with the Sequential and the Moog part of the price is in the name on the front panel and the heritage you are buying into.

[@christopherpederson1021]

Modal doesn’t really scratch the surface of the p10 sound-wise if you ask me

[@fizmo100]

@@christopherpederson1021 Each to their own, of course. I'd take the Modal hands down, the more I play it and explore the more impressed I become. I'm sure the Pro 10 and Moog would also tickle my pickle if I spent as long with them, none are bad options, but there is something about the Modal I can't quite put my finger on that makes it 'special' sounding.
