The new dawn of a vintage synth! The Dave Smith Instruments Prophet '08 continues the evolution of a classic analog synth. The original Prophet 5 was one of the first programmable polyphonic analog synths, and its introduction shook up music production in the 1980s. Known for its great analog basses and strings, (as well as cool effects sounds), the original Prophet is analog synth vibe personified. The Prophet '08 brings you all that tasty, rich analog tone, with some new wrinkles thrown in for even more functionality and creative sound-shaping capabilities. A 5-octave keyboard with velocity and aftertouch, plus pitch and mod wheels round out the Prophet '08. Dave Smith Instruments Prophet '08 Analog Polysynth at a Glance: Great new features True analog Great new features The Prophet 08 has eight voices with a classic 2-oscillator, 2/4 pole Curtis lowpass filter, VCA architecture, and 52 knobs to tweak. Prophet 08 goes well beyond the original Prophet by including Four LFOs, three envelopes, and a gated sequencer per voice. Each program has two layers, so the sounds can be easily stacked or split. A four-mode latchable arpeggiator is also included. True analog There are countless digitized imitations of analog synths out there, both in hardware and plug-in form. Many of them sound great, but nothing touches the real thing for true analog sound. Prophet 08 features an all-analog signal path and includeds an analog step sequencer. It looks like what you'd want the newest Prophet to look like, with a black chassis, wood end caps, white graphics, and slim black knobs with silver caps. The pitch and mod wheels are black, and are mounted on the panel.

Customer Reviews  Destined to be a classic   by William Lents from Baltimore, MD USA, June 08, 2008 Music Background:  Recording Engineer and Composer “The DVI Prophet 08 is a real throwback. 100% analog path and 8 voices (which you can combine into one PHAT monophonic sound) has made this the instant favorite synth in my collection. The construction is solid; everything from the knobs to the wheels feels as nice as they look, which is to say amazing. The presets aren't all usable by any means, but creating patches is so easy on this bad boy...” Read More • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "I love the Prophet 08! You have heard this synth so many times on top-selling recordings, both classic and modern, that it's unfathomable. It can be everything from punchy and bright to evolving and evocative, and no matter what it always sounds good! And warm! And fat! Awesome. It's 100% of what the old-school Prophet was, and a lot more. And for a few hundred more, you can even buy a signed limited edition version! I wish I had five of these." Nate Edwards   "I can't say enough good things about the Dave Smith Instruments Prophet '08. It has everything that the original Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 had (including its great string sounds, analog effects, and punchy analog basses) but adds more polyphony, a gated sequencer, a 4-mode latchable arpeggiator and MIDI capability! This is by far my favorite "modern" analog synthesizer."
