👆 Sequential Prophet XL Synthesizer - tinyurl.com/y32cjbse
The Prophet XL marks a brand new world for the Sequential Prophet Series. A 76-key, bi-timbral, 8-voice stereo (16-voice mono) synthesizer combining digital oscillators and high fidelity stereo samples, processed through stereo analog filters and the awesome sound and synthesis capabilities we all love and have come to expect on a DSI synth.
At the heart of the Prophet XL is a new sound engine that powers two simultaneous 16-bit, 48kHz sample-based instruments plus two high-resolution digital oscillators with waveshape modulation - all processed through stereo analog filters.
To start you off DSI have created a 150GB sample library, created with acclaimed sound developers 8Dio. The library includes acoustic and electronic instruments as well as ambient and cinematic effects. In addition the Prophet XL provides you with 50 GB of internal storage space so that you can load your own favourite samples and sample libraries.
In May 2019, sound developer 8Dio released the new T8 add-on pack for Prophet X / Prophet XL. As the name suggests, the samples included are based on the legendary Prophet T8 synthesizer, a flagship all-analog unit that's considered one of Dave Smith's greatest creations. For the new sample pack, 8Dio actually sampled Smith's own vintage Prophet T8 - the real deal!

I really try to push my attention elsewhere, but whenever I comeback to it...I realize ... ITS REALLY THE ONLY SYNTH I’VE EVER LOVED.

[@troublesomecorsair]

Got my piano, got my organ, got my analog synth. All I need is a lightweight bi-timbral 76-key synth with immediate ADSR envelope control with built-in effects and the ability to make Layer B monophonic with glide, a polyphonic Layer A, and sample import. That's the Prophet XL.

[@johnadams5489]

troublesomecorsair The Prophet XL price was cut by $500. I just saw it on Sweetwater! $3869.00. This synth cures the boredom of a 2 Osc RA synth and the limitations of vintage analogs we played back in the dark ages. Of course, it was a different time in our history. The XL adds a different flavor to synths. You can get B&B sounds, to cover your bases, and start building some of the monster sounds that this synth can generate. I heard a GREAT PAD that combined a number of samples along with the synth engine. Unique sound! Great job Dave Smith!

[@briannicepianoworship8944]

Lightweight? … you think it’s lightweight (that would be good) I think it’s like 46 pounds hmm 🤔. Can’t test it out in any stores cause it’s not in any

[@derrickaf1]

Very nice demo and keyboard. I love my PX. Thank you:)!!!

[@markquavertune2003]

Thank you for the good demonstration .At 22 minute 50 ,24 to 25 minutes.That's what I like to hear ! Interesting and dynamic .

[@davebellamy4867]

Really good demo, guys!

[@EverettDudgeon138]

I love my PX so much I’m considering getting a Prophet XL to accompany it.

[@swz.]

this really seems like the most comparable hardware instrument to Omnisphere !

[@digitaldiezel5870]

IMO better than any synth out!...this is the only instrument left on my list and it will be some time before I'm able to afford it.

[@dennisristow2102]

Reminds me of a Prophet 2000 blended into a modern synth. Sort of digital waves and sampling through a great analog filter. Some of those evolving textures sound like the Korg Wavestation. I know when Sequential was taken over by Korg, the Dave Smith team took the Prophet VS idea into the WS. It just needed analog filters and it would have been the king back in the day. Now we have analog filters to go along with those modulating sounds. All it's lacking is a joystick but maybe those sliders would do the same tricks. Sounds very warm for digital oscillators.

[@RayyMusik]

The oscillators sound cold and tinny. It’s the filter which makes them sound kind of warm.

[@dirkkeersmaekers4343]

The sound are so different.That makes this synth so unique.

[@christophertodman8254]

One keyboard to rule them all!

[@briannicepianoworship8944]

This comment 👍

[@shivercanada]

Most impressive keyboard on the market hands down. The X too, wish I had the money to spare!

[@asynchronicity]

Sublime.

[@mano123456]

I just ordered an XL!

[@Jarj0ura]

Great demo .. help please i. Want to buy Prophet soon but dont know if i buy Prophet XL not X can i play fast pipe organs els or the keyboard is too heavy and better X ... Sure XL good for piano Sounds .

[@2ARTISTMBROWN2]

Awesome

[@Evildandalo]

Reminds me a lot of the sounds and tones Junkie XL builds for his film scores. It feels like you could compose an entire movie on this thing.

[@GirthUnitz]

2 beards and 2 caps = full hardcore XL action! :)

[@FVDaudio]

Excelente.

[@UkiMalefu]

You want sounds? It's got sounds. How many sounds you ask? ALL OF THEM.

[@joaquinhino]

Is the grat bass sounds of the sequential pro3 in here as well?

[@MartynWhite]

LISTEN ON STEREO HEADPHONES!!! Very nice

[@davebellamy4867]

33:15 Analogue marimba ready for a Gabriel cover band. I never heard a cover band do San Jacinto yet!😂 Fortunate it does the CP70 too 33:55

[@briannzuwah9455]

It needs piano solo piano and keyboard sounds that rival spectrasonics keyscape, seemless sound switching(switching sounds with out breaking the previous sound), and the ability to layer at least four sounds together to compete in 2019- 2021 etc. I would buy it today if it could do that.

[@briannicepianoworship8944]

@@soulSaysHi I hear you man … do you Have one of these awesome machines ?

[@jmcoffin1]

Any chance of upgrade to this that provides MPE capability? Seems to me MPE would open up a large growing market for this keyboard, especially if it came in a desktop form factor. I think there is a lot of people like myself who have a Roli or Linnstrument who would happily spend big bucks on a MPE capable Prophet XL, Especially given the kinds of sounds this thing makes… Perfect for the enhanced expression provided by MPE!

[@sigmundamalkumar2786]

apart from the Synth part, just imagine how acoustic instruments will sound on this beast....

[@supercompooper]

Most patches sound out of tune? Weird.

[@michaels8607]

As soon as i touch it,it was love connection...I think there's not many sounds it cannot make. If you hook it to a PC and hardware sampler,it's a whole studio,,Acid/Reaper..17 inch laptop or desktop,and my Ensoniq ASR10/polyend tracker..done

[@ForbiddenOldman]

Давайте послушаем как звучит пианино))

[@aloharay]

appreciate the info, but... wearing a hat that obscures your eyes throughout the video is probably not a good idea. :)

[@inthedoghouse1985]

Not heard a good synth bass sound from this yet

[@briannicepianoworship8944]

Definitely has synth bass.. very deep.. this demo just sucks in terms of musicality

[@zyxyuv1650]

$4000 is way overpriced for a synth that has no VCOs. Arturia has shown that hybrid synths with digital oscillators can be made for prices that are accessible to all musicians. And Behringer could make something like this for $800 just by updating the DeepMind slightly.

[@Donetur]

I think samples costs when they are better than average, I think 8dio gets something for the sales as well (not sure but it could be). It cannot be reduced to only a synth, it is also a rompler with good samples compared with other romplers, as they are using the library from 8dio, and that may need a better computer to load fast. I also think that nothing sounds like this synth, so probably they are charging for the result as well. It is expensive, but I think the product is good.
