Sequential Prophet 6 Desktop

Prophet-6 Desktop Specifications

Oscillators:

Two newly developed, discrete VCOs per voice

Infinitely crossfadeable waveforms (sine, sawtooth, variable-width square, square) per oscillator

Adjustable pulse width per oscillator

Hard sync: oscillator 1 synchronises to oscillator 2

Triangle sub-oscillator (oscillator 1) per voice

LFO mode (oscillator 2)

Switchable keyboard tracking (oscillator 2)

Adjustable slop intensity of the oscillators for increased tuning instability, from subtle to extreme

Mixer:

Amount/proportion oscillator 1

Amount/proportion sub-octave oscillator 1

Amount/proportion oscillator 2

Amount/share white noise

High-pass filter:

Two-pole, resonant high-pass filter per voice

Bipolar intensity control for the envelope generator

Modulation of the envelope intensity via the velocity response

Keyboard tracking: off, half intensity, full intensity

Low-pass filter:

Four-pole, resonant low-pass filter per voice, inspired by the filter in the original Prophet-5

The filter can be set to self-oscillate using the resonance control

Bipolar intensity control for the envelope generator

Modulation of the envelope intensity via the velocity control

Keyboard tracking: off, half intensity, full intensity

Filter envelope:

Four-stage envelope generator (ADSR)

Envelope:

Four-stage envelope generator (ADSR)

Modulation of the envelope intensity via the velocity response

LFO:

Five waveforms: Triangle, sawtooth, inverted sawtooth, square and random (sample and hold)

Clock synchronisation (internal or to an external MIDI clock)

Initial modulation intensity

Modulation targets: Frequency of oscillators 1 and 2, pulse width of oscillators 1 and 2 and the filter input frequencies of the low-pass and high-pass filters

Poly MOD:

Sources: Filter envelope (bipolar) and oscillator 2 (bipolar)

Targets: Frequency, waveform and pulse width of oscillator 1 as well as the filter cut-off frequencies of the low-pass and high-pass filters

Aftertouch:

Source: Channel aftertouch (mono) with bipolar intensity control

Targets: Frequency of oscillators 1 and 2, LFO intensity, intensities of the volume envelope, the envelope for the low-pass filter and the envelope for the high-pass filter

Clock:

Master clock with tap tempo

BPM control and display

MIDI clock synchronisation

Arpeggiator:

Selectable note values: sixteenth note, eighth note triplet, eighth note, dotted eighth note, quarter note

One, two or three octave ranges

Operating modes: up, down, oscillate, random, assignable

Sequencer:

Polyphonic step sequencer with up to 64 steps and support for pauses

Effects:

Analogue stereo distortion

Double digital effects with a resolution of 24 bit/48 kHz. Available for selection: Reverb (room, hall, plate, spring), delay (digital with full bandwidth and emulated bucket brigade circuit), chorus, flanger, phaser and ring modulator

Delay synchronisation

True bypass ensures a completely analogue signal path when digital effects are switched off

Performance control:

Polyphonic glide (portamento)

Hold button locks played notes

Unison mode (monophonic) with configurable number of voices, from one to all six voices, several modes for voice distribution

Preset button: When switched off, the control panel is active. Here you can hear the exact sound of the current settings of the control elements.

Programme memory:

500 user and 500 factory sounds in ten banks with 100 programmes each

Direct programme access, including one-button access to the current set of ten programmes as on the Prophet-5

Connections:

Left and right outputs (2 x 6.35 mm jack sockets)

Headphone output (6.35 mm stereo jack socket)

MIDI connections: In, Out, Thru

USB port for bidirectional MIDI communication

Expression pedal input for controlling the filter frequency of the low-pass filter

Expression pedal input for volume control

Sustain pedal/foot switch input

Footswitch input for the start/stop function of the sequencer

Power supply:

IEC AC input for the internal power supply unit
