I show how to verify the functionality, tuning, and calibration of a Prophet 5 and make the calibrations that are commonly needed to get these sounding right. Not a musical video, but it provides an in depth look at the building blocks you have available with this powerful synth to create amazing patches.

Super!

[@estudiomonteverdi]

great video! thanks! I have a question: My Prophet's poly mod (routing filter env to pitch) is behavig differently for each voice.Some notes are 'in tune' but others are out... is this filter envelope calibration problem for each voice? Is there any specific calibration for this poly mod feature? thanks

[@saeric8666]

Hi, nice job! This is super helpful. Do you think that with this new CEM chips, manufactures will put back in the market synths that sound as good/the same as the original Prophet 5? Thanks!

[@lucasc5622]

nah, dave smith will never re-issue the prophet 5

[@polydata]

What's your favorite analog poly?

[@Bananskuden]

Hi Synth Chaser. At 33:50 you test the poly mod buttons, and they work fine as there is no change in sound. My P5 unfortunately goes crazy when I try the same. Both the source amount pots are at zero, yet they sound as if they are turned up high. Any idea what could be wrong? Thanks!

One day I'd like to see a vid on a Korg Polysix restoration. There's a few out there but not detailed in calibrating. This video was great man thanks.

[@Synthchaser]

I have a broken one kicking around, someday I'll do it.
