In the olden days, back when dinosaurs were thinking about becoming disposable lighters and I was one of the three sales guys at Sequential (Circuits) the main difference was "edge". The Prophet always had Smitty's velvety sound, the OB had the overdriven filter. The other main difference at that time was the Prophet had 128 points of knob resolution and the OB 64. Apples and oranges. Some artists have referred to the OB as "noble sounding", which I always took to mean that big, buzzy fanfare in and around the Jump thing with more or less brass "quack". Grab a fistful and your balls seemed to get bigger. Like the Prophet, though, modulation sources and destinations were limited by modern standards. I'm biased, of course, but I always felt the Prophet was the more articulate of the two, capable of warmer sounds. Example - more "Moog-ish" if you will. Had it not been, all our old Tomita demos would never have worked as well as they did. And that depth of character was the difference. Like the OB was the scruffy kid in the block party band and that was its gig, but you could dress up a Prophet and take it anywhere from 80s ballad slop to Tahoe lounge lizard. And then, like Dave said, what everyone wanted was real instruments in a portable box, not synthesizers. Hopefully this time around people are buying synths for the right reasons, not to simply replace 400 pound electroacoustic devices or fake horn sections but for synthesizer music. Remember Suzanne Ciani's very wise comment - The worst thing that ever happened to electronic music was putting keyboards on synthesizers.

But hey I also can't front on the OBX8, its got that lush stereo pan sound & 2-pole Oberheim filter sizzle that just makes you go wow. Both synths are cream of the crop. On looks alone though Prophet wins hands down, I don't know why they went for the dull grey and black OBX theme rather than the iconic black and blue lines from the OBXa/OB8.

I was lucky enough to have an OBXa, Prophet 5 Rev 3 and Jupiter 8 side by side in my studio. When the JP8 came in, the P5 was just surplus to requirements next to the Oberheim and the Jupiter. Somehow, I always wanted the P5 to be 'more' - I was always adding top end on the filter and a touch of LFO from the wheel to make the sound move. This comparison shows why for my tastes. The Oberheim every time for me, but it's always just personal taste and if I only had the P5 I would love it because it had some fabulous sounds - it was just up against the best of the best.

Prophet I think for me. Because of the interface (knob per function). I think there is probably a lot of overlap between these two and I reckon I could kind of eke out Oberheim-ish tones out of the Prophet push come to shove. Also two extra voices is a nice feature. The menu diving on the OB kind of puts me off. They should have reconsidered and modernized the interface but it's a great sounding poly as well. Answer is probably get both :). I mean, you wouldn't be sorry I'm sure. But the price for both is probably prohibitive for most and that's another plus for the P10. Can find them used for as low as $3400 USD.

Prophet is definitely the more "utilitarian" choice because that midrange presence and smooth filter allows it to really sit nicely in the mix without too much compression or EQing. But the Oberheim definitely has deeper sound design options with the different filter slopes and the state variable quality, and it just sounds MASSIVE in a way that the Prophet can't quite do. I think Oberheim excels at fat low end and the detuned leads are great but Prophet is better for mellower pads and is more well-rounded. Basically I think Prophet is "jack of all trades" and a great synth if you can only have one, and Oberheim is a "specialist" for specific sounds. This is why the best musicians in the world wanted both in the 80's, they are actually super complementary tone-wise

I'm not sure whether it's down to whether Prophet sounds better than Oberheim or vice versa, but Prophet is more generic, middle of the road and Oberheim is instantly and only Oberheim. I've got things like rev 2, prologue, mfb synth Pro, Nymphes, JD-XA, Waldorf M and I don't feel that the Prophet would add a vastly different, instantly recognisable sonic pallete, but the Oberheim would. Nothing I've got can go anywhere near the distinctive Oberheim sound. Both are great but one is unique, I've heard a flipside argument that the Oberheim is more limited, more of an acquired taste and harder to sit nicely in the mix.
