I deliberately listened without looking at my screen to avoid any kind of bias. I own a few vintage polysynths: Memorymoog, OB-8, MKS-80. I also have an OB-6 and recently sold my Prophet-6 keyboard in hopes of downsizing to the module because 4 octaves is not ideal for a polysynth, for me. Here are my thoughts: 1) I noticed the difference in sound most with unison patches where the vintage knob seemed to be turned up. I noticed the difference in envelope rates, which reminds me of the OB-8. 2) Otherwise, most of the mojo could be captured with the slop knob. That is probably the most defining feature listeners would notice first. Our ears are more sensitive to changes in pitch before noticing differing envelope rates. 3) I think I’ll value the extra features the 6 offers in a modern music making environment. Especially things like tempo synced LFOs. 4) For those reasons, I will still get the Prophet 6 module which is also about half the cost of the Prophet 5 keyboard.

I may still go in and try out a P5, but this video almost certainly saved me $1500. I love the look and extra octave of the P5, but with the addition of the vintage knob, the P6 seems like the only reasonable choice. It is a real testament to Sequential and Dave Smith that they provided this to their customers. Thanks also to Loopop for the great vid.

As a very happy Prophet 6 owner and user, I got slightly more than 50 percent, but not convincingly much. The P10 sounds just a tiny bit "fuller" overall, if that makes sense, but nowhere near a decisive difference. Having not much space left in my home studio, I will stay with what I have and relax. Thank you both (you and Julian) very much! I will have a much better sleep after that, after some weeks of hard to supress gear fever! :-) Isn't it funny, how the Prophet 5/10 Rev. 4 finally takes away doubts about how well done the P6 really is? Both are just wonderful instruments, but for practical reasons (size, weight, effects) I definitely prefer my P6 now for what I want to do with it.

I am so grateful that this video exists, what a lesson in perception! Blind tests are the only true judge. On J3PO's video I thought I heard a much bigger difference but here everything is properly gain matched and the differences are insignificant (particularly now that the P6 has the Vintage knob). I love the aesthetics and history of the P5 but undoubtedly the P6 is the rational choice unless nostalgia is they key factor. Thanks mr loopop!

@RoomAtTheTopStudio
@RoomAtTheTopStudio 3 года назад
I second that. Same conclusion. Then again if you need to have the original on show then the 10 will impress customers like the Mini Moog re-issue does but if you are in a home studio and it's your own personal set up then the Prophet-6 makes the most sense to have as it does practically everything that the 10 does and it has features that the 10 doesn't.

So Sequential released a beta update to the Prophet-6 to add the Vintage Knob effect to the SLOP knob. I’ve applied the update last night. That vintage effect on the P6 sounds amazing. Gives so much depth and character that the P6 was missing. Also, you have the option to switch between SLOP and vintage through the Global settings.
@smartbart015
@smartbart015 3 года назад
I understand the desire for detailed comparison between these two instruments, but I think it's more useful to focus on the differences instead of the resemblance. J3PO also mentions this in his video; use the P6 with extra sub osc, HP filter, panspread, lfo sync, better glide mode and play the P5/P10 with it's vintage knob, rev 1/2 filter, extra octave (and additional 4 voices in case of the P10) In the end it's not the raw sawtooth which sells you the instrument, it's the whole package.

I couldn’t tell the difference initially, then I realised the 10 has more background noise, as one would expect from a true vintage synth. Got them all right after that. If I was just after the sound, I get the 6, but the 5/10 has a historic and nostalgic element that I think I’d pay the extra €700 for. However, I’d go a Polybrute ahead of a 6. Great that there are so many options.

@@gergokovacs3332 for me, the effects don’t matter. Filters on the 5 are cool, but I think what I’m more torn about is analogue modulation vs digital. I think the analog modulation sources tend to sound a lot better. I just got a used 8, and it sounds amazing, but the resolution of the lfos and the pots controlling the envelope seems kinda low and modulation isn’t quite as smooth, and you don’t have as much control. But the digital control gives you so much more modulation options to make deeper and more interesting patches on the 6, and the 08 for that matter.

@@wurlinnawurl thanks for clearing that up. I was assuming the reissue synths were all analogue through and through cuz of how they market them as 100% analog. I ended up getting a Take 5 and love it, though. I feel like the modulation is a bit higher resolution that the Prophet 08 was. Maybe some more interpolation going on or something? Maybe just my imagination. Great synth. Hard to go wrong with anything that says Dave Smith or Sequential on it.

6:15 I got all of those filter sweeps right but the other tests: just random, very hard to distinguish. The reason was they sounded different at 6:15+ but it may be because he didn't catch all the harmonics at the end on the P6 or maybe he did. The P5/P10 filter sweep seemed to run a little more slowly so it was easy to tell IMO.

I had the same questions you did on Julian's video, and at the time chalked it up to my laptop speakers. So I watched this one on my studio monitors. I found even when my guesses were *statistically significant* above 50/50, identifying them correctly just pushed my brain into confirmation bias. Like, identifying it correctly is the game, but my brain tried to make it about which one sounded better. And funnily enough, the ones where I thought I was basing my choices on which one sounded better, it was much more close to coin flipping.

The P10 is constantly tempting me since it came out despite knowing that I don’t need it and have all the poly analog I need.

Now that the P6 has the Vintage mode the main rational difference is the interface.

I find it easier to spot the difference in the bass notes. Sounds like the 10 has more growl/attitude in the low end. Maybe that's just my headphones/ears though. I have to admit, the release of the 5/10 has slightly spoiled the 6 for me (which I already had a hard time justifying the cost of). Even though I like most of the 6's extra features, I think I'd always regret not having the Rev 4's slight edge in sound and better looks. Although, if they added a vintage option to the 6, that would kill much of the FOMO.

It’s crucial that the P5 have some patches with the Rev1, 2, and 3 autotunes. The autotunes make the most difference. If comparing the P6 and P5 (with CEM filter selected) and both are using the modern autotune they will most likely sound very much the same.

It was easy to hear a difference in the filter sweep because one went lower than the other. Could hear a clear difference in the polyphony test too, but only in the test cases which had more than 6 notes. Otherwise, I would never know the difference between the two. Some things were a little different, but not enough that I'd ever notice it in a mix. Given the extra features and lower price of the P6, I'd call it a clear winner. It's more for less. That said though, the P5/P6 has never really been my thing. I'm more into the sounds of the Pro2 / Pro3.

I was right only about 1/2 the time. I think what you are buying with the P5 and P10 is the form factor, the history of buying a close reproduction of the original 80's icon keyboard, like buying a restored classic car for the weekend drives. Perhaps if and when gigging returns to civilization, and if one could afford it, take the P6 out for gigging as it's smaller and lighter, and keep the 5/10 in the studio or back home as I think J3PO I think himself suggested.

Part of what I noticed with headphones on is that the 10's envelope seems to be a bit more ballsy in the transients. Almost like every time keys are played you are catching the waveform at an unready state in the cycle. That would almost be as if the sound of the patch is constantly running and you are only revealing or releasing it like a dog that is just dying to chase a rabbit by hitting the keys. The 6 sounds a bit more curated or kept, slightly more prim and proper. Overall the 10 sounds slightly brighter and more wide open free, and has some kind razor silkiness quality to its over all tonal character. I love them both and I think I am getting a 6 soon as for my uses in the studio and live it has more utility.

The vintage algorithms on the P5/10 are what set it apart, no question, particularly as the emulation in the P5/10 goes beyond VCO drift and into areas cuch as simulation of analogue ADSR behaviour that changes according to the filter being used. That's where the mojo comes from, and other hardware manufactuers have also realised this. Software developers realised it a long time ago. The SSM filter circuit is the other big difference. Both synths are otherwise surface-mount PCB analogue synths with pretty tight analogue electronics. Physical size and presence is also what you're paying for in the P5/10, and there's a significant cost bump when making an instrument of that size and scale. Personally, I'd rather have a Polybrute and program my own 'vintage' ;)

Unfortunately, like the excellent videos by J3PO and loopop, your comment didn‘t age well due to the vintage function on the P 6. ;) As for your last sentence: agreed. I have a PolyBrute plus Repro-5 and am happy with it.

I could not convincingly tell them apart. However, the filter sweep is revealing. It sounds like the prophet 10 has less low end extension than the prophet 6.

If these sound so close to each other in a solo’d situation then it would be nearly impossible to tell the difference in a mix.

Awesome blind test! There's generally more noise in the P10 compared to the P6, but in terms of tone, I think I prefer the P6 to the P10. If only the P6 had 8-voice polyphony, but it seems that Behringer will be covering that for us soon.

P5/10 has noise so it is very easy to define it in the blind test (which is good tho). P6 filter sound not so good and some waveforms has strange high frequency sizzle. But dat noise in p5/p10 ((((

You forgot pro-5 had an extraordinary feature, noise mix as modulation source, that pushed lots of ambiguous sounds at new wave age
@loopop
@loopop 3 года назад
I didn't forget it, I mention in the beginning there are mix and modulation differences between the two, and refer people to J3PO's video, which discusses this and other mix and mod features.

You can use noise as a modulation source in the P6.

Really comes down to whether you need the ten voice polyphony. About 50/50 which I prefer - and no way in hell I can afford both. I've a 600 that I was going to trade. May be the 6 is more sensible than the 10!

The p5/p10 has a certain something that I can't nail but telling them apart became easier as the comparisons progressed. The filter (especially with the vintage knob) has a better spread.

I found it very easy to tell the difference. I can't find it in the comments but has anyone else noticed the noise that is ever-present in the P10? I wonder if it is test equipment related or intrinsic to the synth. The same noise is there for the P6 but goes away as soon as it's played.

@robertszordykowski4919

The reason is that it's a Prophet 5 and people are willing to pay for it.

To nick a favourite saying, for me the filter sweep on the Prophet10 had the more ‘sing song harmonic’ quality than the P6. I preferred the filter on the P10 but some of the chord sounds I preferred the P6
@seandrinkwater
@seandrinkwater 3 года назад
I have both of these and I have to admit that for the first week or two I was surprised how close they were and even had minor arguments about it. I was almost certain that live or on a recording I wouldn't be able to hear the difference. That being said, after spending a lot more time with the P10, it definitely has sonic advantages once you factor out stereo and effects. I can tell the difference in the room (anecdotal, I realize). Obviously the P10 is this wonderful big nostalgic thing to look at as well. That being said I did get a couple of these wrong so who knows? The experience of programming/playing the P10 with the improved keybed, extra octave and greater overall 'throw' distance with the knobs makes it a more full experience. Does that matter to you? Maybe, maybe not. Still wouldn't sell the 6 unless I really needed to (it's my main live synth...if shows ever come back). I was impressed with it when it came out and it hasn't lost any favor over time even with the arrival of its big sibling. An interesting discussion all-around.

The 6 always had less velocity(?) on the harmonics and that's how I cheated on yet another test, again, only cheating myself.
@avetisk
@avetisk 3 года назад
Yes, I had the feeling that the 5/10 had more harmonics than the 6! I’m not sure idea if my explanation is correct, but I felt that the 5/10 had definitely a richer sound, even though it was slightly richer.
@MrTesla808

I hear the difference, P10 was more buzzy mids and less bright highs. P10 have much more background noise in many examples.

To me the real important difference is prophet 5 and 10 have CV and Gate out, 6 doesn’t, that’s pretty much enough for me to put 5>6
@FlyingBeerman
@FlyingBeerman 3 года назад
Tried the filter part blindly just to see and failed miserably. The rest I didn't care about as much as I wasn't expecting anything. But yes, they sound so close that it doesn't matter. My rule of thumb: if it makes less of a difference than changing guitar strings, then don't worry about it.
@damondrobinson3313
@damondrobinson3313 3 года назад
I thought the 6 picked out a few more harmonics here and there, maybe the 6 has a hint more midrange in its filter (tiny !!!) I often think that these type of demos are put together by people who are bias one way or another so an empthesis is always put on proving something they feel should be proved ! In this case it's an even match so why spend ££££ more, and in another demo it's the opposite ! You only really know the truth owning both yourself

It´s always the same: it´s bean counting. And it´s the same with the cult about old synths, especially analogue synths. In the end I wished that people would spend more time for practicing piano than looking for that tiny differences between synths. And if they would do so I would guarantee that there would be a huge difference between their previous and current skills - and that means: they would sound way better.
@Mateo906
@Mateo906 3 года назад
At the start i got only half right but after half the video i got everything right. Still those differences are not to quality of sound i think but just a bit different in shape. Since i allready got a REV2 i wont buy anyone still, Maybe ill try to swap the REV2 in future but it will take some more time to play through the REV2 ;)

Inducing ear fatigue in order to create similarities isn't a good comparison. Also as the original video states, its not the similarities that are of importance to each instrument. Unless you want to save money. However if you want to save money don't buy a prophet, you'll probably be happy with something much cheaper. But if you hear the differences and feel like that degree of expression is important to you then you have to have one and the P10 is really going to nail that down for you. The P6 is more balanced, offering a lot more tools for a complete sound design experience in one synth. Personally, I'd rather invest in the 10 and then source my own effects and utilities. That raw sound is going to go a lot further and sound utterly jaw dropping in the right conditions. The original video shows this with the filter and vintage comparisons to which no synth can come close to in its price range.
@MarioTorre
@MarioTorre 3 года назад
If you really, really pay attention the 6 is a tiny bit sharper. I don’t think enough to cut through a mix. Once you add the filters the difference becomes even less noticeable, you need really good pair of headphones, however the 10 seems a bit noisier.
@MarioTorre

Strangest thing - for the test at 3:31, I could hear the difference even on my lowly laptop speakers. The '10' seemed to have a 1-octave lower artifact. Both good, but surprised I could hear it on such a small speaker.
