Prophet 10 Rev4 Review

[@auxorion]

Great video, I love the speech at the beginning. I agree with everything you said, especially the GAS part. I decided to kill off all my synths and just keep my Minimoog and Prophet 5 (still waiting to get it). I told myself "enough with this buying stuff... I need to be spending my time honing in on my actual playing skill and on synthesizing"

Yes! SAS = Skill Acquisition Syndrome

[@decimal1815]

Wow those choir sounds are amazing! ;)

[@JustinCarey]

Haha, you are the first to notice the custom intro music.

[@tartan_ninja]

Great demo, Justin. Subscribed. This is the reason I spend my life watching KZbin !

[@JustinCarey]

Thank you very much !

[@bigjayrillah3508]

Awesome demo i really love the sounds you chose and the performance :)

[@radebogdanovic378]

Awesome review! Recently got my new Prophet 10, you nailed it! GAS / SAS - love it!!

[@JustinCarey]

Congrats !!!

[@vincewizz8534]

Fully agree with you on SAS vs GAS :)

[@o.b.v.i.u.s]

I was around in the days before the advent of the DX-7... a minimoog, a prophet 5, and a linndrum and you were cruisin!

[@JustinCarey]

Those where the days !

[@station2station544]

Great review - even the chatter was relevant :). You're right when you say you hear sounds from songs of the past pop out of it. I hear that in your demo!

[@JustinCarey]

Thank you

[@donovanfisher6945]

Nice reading through your sunglasses

[@JustinCarey]

Haha

[@JustinCarey]

It was actually improv

[@MarshalArnold]

Epic Justin! Excellent review and man you got chops, love listening to you play brotha!

[@JustinCarey]

Thank you brother I dig your content as well! 👊

[@estudiomonteverdi]

I really wish it had the voice pan spread tool

[@crime_wavcorp]

a little inspiring what you said about the GAS/SAS thing. and i can tell your playing sounds even better in recent videos. i finally got the P10 new on saturday. i'm liking it. other than the 8 voice expander for the rev2 (i'm an idiot for not originally buying the 16) and a Meet Maude delay i been wanting, i'm done for a while after that and am gonna focus on getting around the keys like a boss lol.

[@JustinCarey]

Thank you and Congratulations! Glad you picked one up. It is a journey is sound

[@hammondvoodoo9555]

The question I always ask myself before spending serious money on new instruments: Is it just inspiring me to make new music because I'm turned on by it right now or does it enable me to make new music in the long run? Not an easy question to answer and that's why I sometimes buy things I don't really need, even when I'm convinced that I do ... at first. That's especially the case when a legendary instrument comes along like those P5/P10 reiusses. I also got a P10 recently, by the way. I suppose that I feel "complete" at the moment but if Yamaha were ever ready to go for an updated version of their infamous CS80 I'm not sure if this feeling is still valid. That would be rather impossible to ignore. But then again, it may be better to stop looking around instead of playing music. That's the trouble.

[@JustinCarey]

That is a very lucid description of the existential threat gear can pose for creativity . I am quite certain I wrote my best material on the cheapest gear lol.

[@robotsandparrots]

It has that SOUND (youtube does not transmit it), and you can express with it any emotion. Humble advice - use a good ANALOG mixer. For me it has made a huge difference. The sound of it is unique and very “fit-able”. Very easy to make it sound good. If I knew it before I would only buy only this and … Jupiter X😮. Done.

[@QuaA]

Love that quadruplet riff @ 15:38

[@JustinCarey]

Dig !

[@JonathanRamirez-kd3zv]

Holy shit that lil lick you hit at about 15:35 was sick af. Ima need to develop SAS 😂

[@JonathanRamirez-kd3zv]

Actually, its the lick at 15:38! The quick one that ascends! That one literally made me pause and replay it like 5 times. Where did you learn or pick that up?! I haven’t heard that kind of thing done a lot!

[@JustinCarey]

Thank you Brotha, it’s my own quirky playing style. So basically you learn the rules/theory of music then you break the rules and forget the theory lol. It’s a balance between playing like everyone else and utilizing your own signature style that stems from stumbling and making mistakes that become pathways to better ideas .

[@JonathanRamirez-kd3zv]

@@JustinCarey thanks for the reply! I’m gonna try to tastefully borrow that haha! Thanks for the video. It’s one of the best ones up on the prophet 10 rerelease! You have some very inspiring and badass patches!

[@floncyb5436]

Great stuff

[@jpgay4372]

I’m considering a purchase so I’d like to know if you would buy a Prophet 10 in 2024. I have a Summit for the “bells and whistles” digital hybrid sounds. Three years later, do you still love it ?

[@JustinCarey]

I do still love it, the OB-X8 is my all time favorite. I’ll be switching to a module version of the P10 to incorporate both. If you love the signature sound of the original Prophet it is worth it.

[@SuperflyCLB]

I agree so much about GAS and SAS. Sometimes they go together, though: I always think of Marvin Gaye composed nearly the entire Midnight Love album with a Jupiter 8 and an 808 on his own. These were brand new in ‘82 and would have been GAS-worthy.

[@JustinCarey]

Well put !

[@jessieurena7583]

Agreed

[@patrickellis1981]

I agree brotha. I here a lot of prophet sounds on the last jodeci album that came out in 95 too.

[@SuperflyCLB]

Great video,Thanks.

[@yusufkhan-ig7dv]

Great video! I love that bit at 25:45 :)

[@indiefilmcomposer]

I had the prophet 6, have the prophet 12 now which covers a wide range of sound, I have one space left in my studio and it’s either this or the poly brute......poly brute has poly sequencer which is appealing and touch strip ........and sounds excellent....so it’s performance oriented but ....that sound of the 5 👍

[@RayyMusik]

This was exactly my dilemma. The PB is a modulation monster and sounds anything but bad. But the basic sound of the P5 is unsurpassed. Eventually, the PB plus the Repro-5 VST seemed to be most bang for the buck to me.

[@xplank]

I did ask Sequential about if a voice expansion would be available at some point to turn a P-5 into a P-10, they said there are no plans at this time to do that, but they would pass my email onto Dave, who they say "does read all the emails".

[@JustinCarey]

I would wager a guess that they probably will after they clear the back orders and module versions . It would be no different then the Rev2 expansion.

[@xplank]

@@JustinCarey I'm also asked and am hoping for at least the Layer feature (and possibly a split feature) of my original P-10

[@von_Apa]

I just got my Prophet 10 desk module and I am confused that you have so much better presets in your synth? Do you know if and where I can get these presets cause mine are really not that good...

[@JustinCarey]

These are custom sounds my friend

[@synthdude7664]

Well said and played!

[@spurv]

Fantastic sounds! What's your take on the whole Prophet 5 vs 10 debate? Why did you go with a 10 and not 5?

[@JustinCarey]

Thank you they are home made . I wanted the 5 but the retailer only had a 10. You can’t go wrong with either, I think the sound character lends itself well to 5 voice chords . 10 is just extra voices but not essential in my opinion .

[@hausverkehrs3676]

Sound at 24:00 is great!

[@christopherpederson1021]

Does this thing have delayed modulation? It sounds like it

[@JustinCarey]

Not that I’m aware of. It does have a long attack time that can be slowed down via LFO. I tend to program sounds that way.

[@eiffe]

Great playing! Have you had classical training?

[@JustinCarey]

Thank you , I did have some classical training wayyyy back in the day. Haha.

[@HorrorCue]

You happen to notice noise on your unit when lower octave keys with the filter closed? My p10 has subtle noise so curious if it’s just common analog noise. If you turn off the oscillators and press the lower keys do u hear noise? Thanks

[@JustinCarey]

I haven’t noticed that I’ll check and get back to you

[@HorrorCue]

@@JustinCarey thanks. Here’s an example of how kind sounds on the lower keys. Can tell best hear on headphones soundcloud.app.goo.gl/e93VRiPQEnyZcqXz6

[@HorrorCue]

@@JustinCarey patch 525 in the lower keys is pretty noisy for me

[@JustinCarey]

I’ll be home later tonight and soon as I check it I’ll let you know , it could be the filter or envelope settings .

[@Nospoon777]

I do too! If I could go back i would buy it over the prophet 5 again! I just need the prophet 5 with it to unite the world! Time to max out some cards!😎

@@Nospoon777 I am eventually going to get an OB 6.

[@wurlinnawurl]

To me, the 6 sounds like rubber bands, the five sounds like a hollow straw.. But they sound similar.

[@KL-tn1xc]

i think the 6 sounds like a chocolate muffin and the 5 like a merry go round in NYC on 14th of march 1959.

[@wurlinnawurl]

@@KL-tn1xc ok that's pretty good..

[@final_mile_music9713]

[@louiseisobelevans]

23:23 to 23:48 is that from a song ? is this your own patch or built in ?

[@JustinCarey]

It will be around for a long time! I hear ya though, I had recently bought a synth and promptly returned it to get this, plus I sold some gear to purchase it. The timing was right for me to buy it.

[@jessieurena7583]

@@JustinCarey awesome thanks! And hear ya i just got a rev 2 in sept.

[@JustinCarey]

Dude I love the Rev2 ! Believe me it’s better to have a few years with just that synth. I have one as well and would not trade it for anything. The P08 was my dreams synth for nearly a decade, I finally was able to get a Rev2 in 2018. I would say even now it is still my favorite sequential synth with the P10 now sharing the same place .

bruh 18:41

[@cores303]

big fingers for big synth ...

[@suereed]

Such a dated sound, does this mean that a whole new generation will be making music with these fusty old sounds? Or is it sad old men like me, with more money than sense who used to own them the second time around (early 90's) that will be buying them? I can't imagine who would want these sounds. The synth is a classic but in 2020 it feels like a curio. But maybe synths in general could be labeled thus, retro seems to have taken over the world. I'll get my coat...

[@JustinCarey]

Haha I would equate it to a fender Stratocaster ... timeless . Look at the 808 drum, it’s never going out of style, or we are stuck in a time loop .

[@litemakr]

"Dated" has become "classic" and yes, I predict we will be hearing a LOT of this in new music. The younger gen is getting more into classic rock of the 70s and this fits right in. BTW, really good sounds. The mod is essential to get the correct high end.

[@Fallingoverbackwards]

A fender or gibson “analog” guitars never go out of style. Pianos dont go out of style. They are iconic, same is true of analog drifty synths. There are digital modern electric pianos but a fender rhodes sounds amazing.

[@SPAZZOID100]

You have no idea what you are talking about. At all.

[@marcusholder495]

That was clear classic and funny!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

[@edenhunter9904]

This is a MONO OUTPUT synth. Terrible design decision .......

[@SPAZZOID100]

Multi-tracking is your friend. (This is selling like hotcakes, btw)

[@edenhunter9904]

multi-tracking is an effect similar but not as good as stereo outputs from the source ...
