But the outputs from the contour generators and the LFO in the Prophet 6 are converted to CVs and applied using VCAs, which no doubt adds a tiny bit of variation to each note. The Prophet-6 takes the best qualities of the original Prophet-5 - true voltage-controlled oscillators, filters, and amplifiers - and adds enhancements that the original never had, such as stereo outputs, velocity and aftertouch sensitivity, dual digital effects, a high-pass filter, a polyphonic step sequencer, an arpeggiator, and of course, MIDI.
The Prophet-6's polyphonic step sequencer accommodates up to 64 steps and up to six notes per step, letting you build sequences polyphonically, with rests and external MIDI clock sync. It looks and sounds beautiful, and the user interface is clear and easy to use, inviting you to experiment and play.
The Prophet 6 offers 16 alternative tunings, including reasonably well-known alternatives such as Meantone, Pythagorean C, Just Major, Just Minor, and Arabic 12-Tone. In the early '80s, the Prophet-5's polyphony and patch memory were huge technological achievements; onboard effects were nothing but a pipe dream (if that). If it weren’t for that damned keyboard! True to the original, modulation sources are filter envelope and oscillator 2 (both with bi-polar control).
No.
There's also a full-function arpeggiator that you can sync to external MIDI clock as well.

Dave Smith designed the Sequential Prophet-6 with a knob-per-function top panel that gives you instant access to virtually all its functions. Choose your shipping options at checkout.
The Prophet 12 still has a five-octave keyboard. Semi-weighted, Velocity-sensitive, Aftertouch Destinations include oscillator 1 frequency, oscillator 1 shape, oscillator 1 pulse width, low-pass filter cutoff, and high-pass filter cutoff. The Prophet-6 will automatically restart itself when the OS update is complete. Bravo!The Prophet 6 has a comprehensive MIDI specification, with many if not all of its parameters and controllers capable or sending and receiving MIDI CCs and NRPNs.
This seller is open to offers. After the usual greetings, I’ve asked him when he’s going to fix my Rev 1 Prophet 5, and he has told me to get lost. However, there’s no way to create alternative tunings on the synth itself.Almost everything is right about the Prophet 6.
The high-pass filter, effects, velocity-sensitivity and aftertouch, arpeggiator, step sequencer, and a comprehensive MIDI specification transform it into a much more powerful beastie that still retains the soul of the original synth. Once again allowed to use the Sequential name, Dave Smith’s latest instrument is a tribute to a genuinely classic synthesizer.Before the launch of the Prophet 6, DSI had already resurrected the Prophet name twice. On the Prophet 6, you’re given control over the number of voices in the unison stack and the amount of detuning between them, as well as your choice of low-, high- or last-note priority, each with single- and multi-triggering options, all of which turns it into a superb monosynth.
On a synth of this quality, I would have liked to have seen balanced outputs, but it’s not a big deal.

Project details. If you're considering a synth that may strain your budget a bit, my recommendation is to beg or borrow the money to get this particular instrument. The Prophet-6 and OB-6 desktops are, unlike most desktop modules, fully-knobbed versions that are 100% equivalent to the keyboard versions in terms of functionality. Finally, I experimented with the synchronisation of the LFO, the arpeggiator, the sequencer, and the delay effects (both to each other and to MIDI Clock), and discovered all manner of interesting sounds that no polysynth could have attempted in the late 1970s.So... everything is great, yes?
As with its predecessor, the Prophet-6's modulation sources are Filter Envelope and Oscillator 2 (both with bi-polar control).
You can, additionally, create and save up to 500 user programs.
The Sequential Prophet-6 from Dave Smith Instruments is a modern, all-analog 6-voice polyphonic synthesizer that pays tribute to the original vintage Prophet 5, but with several enhancements.
