Is this the Best Prophet 5 Plugin Ever? 

LOL!

Agree, this one is unbelievable. Very close, but Softube wins imho

Yes, it would deserve being developed into a full track.

Thanks, yes I'm planning on finishing it :)

There's something with the low end and saturation. I love the Model 84

Agree

I don't really consider that an argument. The fun is in tweaking a synth, and having a big sweet spot, not that a listener won't hear the extra detail, or better sound in the mix. Also, a good sounding synth wil make fitting it in the mix or in a track much easier, because you don't have to work hard to make it sound good.

Agreed. I have an OB-6 and that thing.... the init patch sounds good 😆

Probably not, but the Prophet lover in me will be inspired to take an idea forward in the first place.

And the colors are complementary 😊

I’m looking for a modular plugin. Do you think that soft tubes is the best?

​@@anthonyman8008Hands down the best. Softube modular is magic. I own every major software synth; Modular is the most alive, analog, and weighty.

Yeah we're spoiled for choice now!

Fair play - Yes I'm in love with Model 84!

Yes!

You’re right, the Softube is in no way a digital emulation. It is a real analog synthesizer that you can jam into your hard drive. That is how things work.

@@SilentEarthling You can read between quotation marks?? Good luck...

@@Janomix I'll prefer arrogant to ignorant any day.

@@Janomix lmao

Yeah I can't really argue with that. I do love U-He and Zebra 2 was the first plugin I ever bought (years ago!) but in general I find Softube's synths amazingly inspiring.

I’ve been considering the Pro 800 for months now. Is it good? Does it get that aggressive middle range for those big pads, like Prophet?

Repro and the Arturia version are both great. More than adequate for everyone but collectors or people who want to gig on hardware.

Same here. I have a Prophet 5 rev 4. Using software is a lot easier. You can instantly hear how it will sound in the mix with effects and all, so you won't waste time recording your hardware with a take you won't use, because the settings weren't quite right. Also I'm not yet able to send midi notes and CC automation to my Prophet hardware. You know if that possible? In any case I use the software as a CG stunt double for the parts where I can't get the playing quite right.

Yeah I agree

It is fantastic, especially in HQ (AA 4x i think) mode, and sadly no one uses this when they are demoing it or comparing it. It uses a lot more CPU but the Repro comes alive and has the dynamic range, and depth of the real one. Softube though seems to have knocked it out of the park with this one. I saw they were releasing softsynths, but never even thought to check them out, which is a shame because I mixed an EP with their plugins (and built in Reaper JS) plugins about 10 years ago and even then it came out sounding pretty amazing.

Also just want to say, in his demos here I think he has HQ engaged (at the start at least), although when you switch patches in Repro it will only use the mode it was preset to use. In the demos, you can hear a depth to the Softube that Repro simply cannot do. I use a 2:1 upward expansion on Repro to make it more tangible, but Im not so sure this one really needs that. So I think the people that are saying Repro, are just trying to justify something they purchased several years back.

It’s because people don’t have good enough ears to have a real opinion, so they just fall back on what all the ‘cool people’ told them .. that Repro is perfect and the best thing ever. Tbh Softube’s recent synths are freaking incredible. I’m a mix engineer of 35 years and owned a Prophet most of that time, trust me Softube is just killing it with this (and their Juno).

@@sub-jec-tiv agree. I have both and i also have a real prophet6. model 80 is better than repro

Common behaviour with most Softube plugins, unfortunately.. this made me stop using Softube for this reason with lots of regrets tbh

Yep! Yeah the Model 84 sets the standard for analogue vibe in a plugin for me (and their others tbh)

You're welcome! Tbh it's really had to say, I do think the Model 80 sounds a little better in certain ways, for example the how the resonance sounds. But it's very close and RePro is awesome. About the Deepmind, I didn't mean to knock it, I think it's a great synth. I just had a preconceived notion about how analogue was supposed to sound and it didn't sound quite like that. I didn't have those patch banks but I'm sure they sound great! Personally, I'm really happy working mainly in the box at the moment and that's mainly because of how much I love the sound of Softube's synths (and Modular)

Everything in its’ Right Place - Radiohead

Yep :)

How the fudge could I forget that? One of the greatest intros ever! I'll blame Mitsubishi 😉

I don't really like arturia prophet v

@@user-zd4qy5zl7iWhy is that? You don't think its sounds are similar to a real Prophet, or you don't like the user interface, or something else?

@@FlowJunkie65 I'm not good at English, but I'll write down a few letters.🥹 i have real prophet6 hardware and i also have prophet emulated vst synths(repro5, model80, prophet v), and I tested all inst’s basic oscillator and filter (with hd800s and rme adi 2 pro), the hardware definitely had a high resolution and 3d sound and musical sound. On the other hand repro and model80 were similar to hardware, their sound is good but they didnt sound as deep and rich as hardware. Prophet v sounds uninspiring for me and i think it has a plastic sound so I don't use it anymore. when i’m working, i’m using hardware for the main track and vsts are used for the additional track

@@user-zd4qy5zl7iThank you for your reply! I used to own a Prophet 5 rev. 3, but sold her when I was only playing jazz piano. Many years later - now - I am playing in another band, but not playing jazz -- we are playing rock and pop and I wish I had my real Prophet 5! 😭 But, I am not willing to buy another Prophet, so I bought Arturia's V-Collection with the Prophet V -- which I feel is pretty good, but nothing is the same as a real Prophet. I also used to own a Roland JC-120x, a special edition of this amp that came with JBL speakers -- oh my god, this was such an amazing amp with the JBLs! But, I am much older now, and lifting that amp in and out of my car and on to stages is more difficult, so I also sold that 15 years ago. Now I use a Roland KC-550 -- pretty good, not great though. And, when I was selling my equipment, I also sold my Rhodes Stage Piano, which many of my keyboard pro friends told me that it had the best keybed action of any Rhodes that they had ever played before. I also sold it because I preferred carrying around a much lighter workstation - Korg Kronos 2 61 - that had so many Rhodes and other e-piano variations of the Dyna Rhodes, DX7, Yamaha Electric Grand, Clavinet, Wurlitzer, etc. Thanks for your reply!

It does have a unison mode where you can choose voices and detune amount. It's on a different panel (where the velocity and other settings are).

Did you not see that bit?

Sorry!

@@tendingtropic7778 Hey no problem :)

Well that's fair! Congratulations on your purchase, I'm sure it's amazing 🙂🙌.

On the CPU score, sadly no. Model 80 is a hog, and when the voices cut out it doesn't even save power like Repro.

@@AceGarpTruckingCo Yep, that's the main issue I see. It's a massive CPU hog.
