Yeah, and a lot of this can be attributed to the dual layering with slight variation in the vintage tolerances. Kudos to the author for taking the time to do this.
I have listened to hundreds of P5/10 demos, let alone thousands of songs, I own a P5 Rev 4 myself - but your patches are simply the best and well played. 6 stars out of 5.
I guess it comes down to space and money. if you have both then I would buy the keyboard version - it's a thing of beauty and well constructed with a nice keybed. But to save space and money I would buy the module to get the same sounds. Another consideration, is that with the P5/10 keyboard version, you don't get any additional performance controls (ribbon or buttons), just pitch and mod wheels, so you could use your Summit fine to control the module.
@@synthkattI have both prophet 5 and Novation summit and keybed on both is superb. Weigh up your options, do you want to physically play both at once or Sequence primarily. I do a mix of both so opted for keybed. Of course getting the P10 keyboard version is pricey as hell.
Many thanks for the feedback! I don’t currently run sales because of the amount of time it takes to develop the sounds - I can’t afford to. Hopefully in future when I have more sound banks selling I’ll be able to.
Hello thanks for your question. I’ve not been able to test it on rev 2 so it would be at your own risk. I imagine the main components of the sounds would be there but looking online other rev 2 users have had compatibility issues with rev 4 sounds.
Thanks for the feedback! I wasn't in manual mode so the knob positions in the video don't correspond with the sound settings - that's why it sounded different. All the sounds are available as part of my Prophet Sound bank - link in description, thanks
@@Biosynth The patches come as two sysex files that will load into Groups 4 and 5 of your Prophet. But if you use Soundtower software (highly recommended) you can re-order them before you load into your synth.
Thanks for the feedback! Yes all of these patches will sound the same - only with 5 note polyphony of course. Just bear in mind that any patches that use unison (such as Octave release) will be monophonic on the P5, as it doesn't have the polyphonic unison. Hope that helps and be sure to check out the sound bank videos linked in description if you're interested.
Thanks for your question! No I haven't - but to be honest, I use analog synths not just because of their sound, but because of the musical inspiration I get when interacting with them. Personally I don't find software synths inspiring to use - even when they sound good.
I had used Repro-5 for years until I decided to get the real thing. Repro-5 sounds really good and is a bit more versatile, but *nothing* compares to the basic sound of a Prophet-5/10. It sounds like it looks: a bit archaic but also natural. You seem to literally hear all that wood.
Thanks for the feedback. The Prophet and Hydra are of course very different beasts. For sheer breadth of sound design the Hydra is best as it can do V/A, FM, and wavetable with modular synthesis levels of modulation. The Prophet has a more limited palette, but the analog quality and character of its sounds are arguably unrivalled and when layered and used with external FX it can still create amazing soundscapes - it just takes more effort. Good luck with your search
Thanks for sharing! Yes he is probably already working on this. I still have questions though over the quality of the components and long-term durability of his synths - as well as the core sound. Although the Prophet is expensive, it's very well made and feels like it will last a lifetime. Worth saving up for in my view.
@@synthuniversethey have a Prophet 16 in progress, I was very interested in the UBXA however I have opted to save for the P5 as it's just magic ❤ beautiful patch's, I will purchase hopefully when I get it.
@@xntricity6446 many thanks for the feedback! I imagine the Prophet 16 will tempt many people, but I doubt they will reproduce the magic of the P5. The envelopes, filters and even the Vintage knob are what give it something special. Good luck saving up (that's what I had to do to get my P10) I'm sure it will be worth it. If you're a subscriber then you'll see when the sound bank videos are released - will be soon.
@@synthuniverse Yeah, I compared a friend's UBXa to my OBX8 ..... the UBXa, IMO, fall's short in getting that true Obie filter fashizzle' so will be interesting to hear how the P16 sounds. ps Nice 'Vox Humana' programming! 😉
Later in the video and in the description I summarise how I do it. If you use a DAW then you can run the Prophet through a stereo reverb or other stereo plugin which will convert mono to stereo. But for recording I would always use layering and panning separate tracks as it sounds much richer. Good luck with it!
