Sequential (dsi) prophet 6 49 keys 6 voice polyphonic analog synthesizer
6 voice polyphonic analog synthesizer vintage with a modern twist the prophet-6 is dave smith’s tribute to the poly synth that started it all—the sequential prophet-5. But it’s not simply a reissue of a classic. Rather, as dave puts it, “it’s the result of our effort to build the most awesome-sounding, modern analog poly synth possible.” the prophet-6 takes the best qualities of the original prophet-5—true voltage-controlled oscillators, filters, and amplifiers—and adds enhancements such as studio-quality effects, a polyphonic step sequencer, an arpeggiator, and more. The result is pure, unadulterated analog tone with the stability and reliability of a state-of-the-art modern synth
