Sequential Prophet X Demo!

Going through factory presets! (Sorry, a bit out of focus!)
Recorded direct with no processing, headphones/monitors recommended to hear what this Larry is capable of!

Let me attempt to explain this synth. It is 4 stereo sounds at once. 2 sampled and 2 synth sounds. All polyphonic. Go thru a stereo filter. Tack on 2 very broad stereo effect processors and a bunch of lfos and envelopes. Couple of extra slider controllers and lots of single function knobs and sliders. The sounds are lifers. They start sweet and realistic and go into wacky land w the modulation you have. Yeah. Its all that. Its also the easiest synth i have had the pleasure to sit if front of. Six screws and flip up the top. The most thoughtful design ever. I like it.

It’s super under the radar and i Love it cuz few know it’s powers which make it unique!

[@russellbutterfield1419]

The best sounding synth ever created, too many people do not know what to make of it, so much potential. I love mine. Id never sell it.

[@sub-jec-tiv]

The presets are pretty wonky, seems like. Have been listening carefully to a few 3rd party sound sets and it seems like this synth is a real beast, and capable of more than the factory presets might suggest. Above all, the filter sounds amazing, though. Strongly considering picking one up.

[@duel5071]

isn't it mostly just a case of good samples in > great sound out? like any samples?

[@MrStupidHead]

@@duel5071 this question goes to the heart of the matter. if you thought about this synth as a sample player you'd like it, ok. If you thought about it as a synth, you'd like it just fine. If you think about it as a playable, pro keyboard you'd be liking it. But! It then it wraps all those pieces up in a way that folks in synth groups have requested for YEARS. Ever since the Prophet Vs really. But now the hardware power, the pro quality samples and the modulation is all there. And its all quite easy to wrap your head around. it is a singular accomplishment.

@@duel5071 No … until you witness what it can do, you think it’s a normal synth but it’s not, it’s magical. To many things to name, …. You can use a sample to modulate a DCo or another sample or LFO for instance. This synth is like omnisphere with pianos that match virtual libraries in sound quality and drums that are on par with virtual drums .. to much to name. It has an Add on OBX library so you wouldn’t even need an OBX

[@briann5001]

Absolutely and the fact that it’s so low key only makes it even better. Keep your notes, illl keep my prophet XL which does everything 🤐🤫

[@russellbutterfield1419]

I don't think that people understand the true power of the Prophet X, I own one and it is an incredible synth, I have a Polybrute, a Hydrasynth. a Roland Integra 7 and a Blofeld. It runs ring round all of them put together, the sounds you can get on the Prophet X are unlike any I have ever heard before.

[@pfmmodule5144]

Hooked up a Conductive Labs NDLR to mine. Having the X be bi timbral makes it more fun. Massive washes of sound to glitchy EDM depending on what sound sets are used. This is my go to synth to just switch on and go off on sonic adventures

[@_greenleader]

wow, great idea!

[@mark35mi]

Sweet showcase. I must say I am in love with the Binaural Udo Super Six. The algorithm of different oscillators dancing all over the sound space with headphones is... fab. Can the Px emulate this? ps... were the preset demos built in? Cool! Nice share.

[@_greenleader]

Oo that sounds powerful, havent gone that deep but just scrolling presets here, I'm sure you can do thi gs like pan spread but it seems this keyboard is designed to make movie soundtracks almost

[@briann5001]

The PX can go further than the Super 6 and it’s raw synth engine is very powerful as well

[@_greenleader]

too kind! try my best

[@MusicWizard85]

Awesome demo thank you! Besides price and mono vs stereo why would someone pick Prophet X over lets say Prophet 6 or Prophet 10? Pros & cons of each?

[@_greenleader]

6 is king as a modern deep standalone polysynth, x great for ambient, film scoring, or blending synths with samples , 10 if you're a purist for those simpler classic tones

[@MusicWizard85]

@@_greenleader Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it! 🙏

[@_greenleader]

@@MusicWizard85 anytime, keep me updated on your journey ha! Did a p6 demo earlier feel free to check out, my choice of the 3! That being said, OB6 still all time fav

[@briann5001]

The prophet X does everything! All the demos suck, but those that know just know 🤐

[@Bananskuden]

Beware the Prophet X can be frustrating to program. Approx. one third of the parameters, including panning parameters, bit hack and decimate, are "hidden" inside menus that are sometimes not that easy to get to without turning knobs that you would otherwise want NOT to turn. The two smaller screens are also inconsistent in use, for example one uses highlight/dim to indicate selection and the other uses lit/unlit buttons next to the screen. Is it important? It depends on your expectations and workflow. I didn't like it and sent mine back to the store. The samples are also too processed to my tasted. The stereo filter, on the other hand, is second to none.
