The Return of a Legend

The new Prophet-5 is Dave Smith’s timely return to the analog poly synth that changed the world. It’s “the best of all Prophet-5s” as Dave puts it because it embodies all three revisions of the legendary synth — Rev1, Rev2, and Rev3 — through the use of genuine Curtis analog VCOs and filters (as in the Rev3) as well as new 2140 low-pass filters designed by Dave Rossum, like the 2040 filters he designed in the original Rev1 and Rev2. A Rev switch lets you choose between the two filter designs.

The result is as pure a renewal of an analog classic as you could wish for, with the authentic, muscular sound of the original and the roadworthiness of a state-of-the-art modern instrument.

Vintage Sound, Vintage Knob

To give the same mojo as a vintage Prophet 5 on the new Prophet-5, we created the Vintage knob. Use it to dial in as much old-school randomness as you’d like. Go from a very stable “4” — as in Prophet-5 Rev4, which is how we refer to the new version in house — all the way to “1,” as in Prophet-5 Rev1, the rarest and most temperamental of all Prophet-5s.

Poly Mod and Enhanced Unison

In addition to the unmistakable tone of its oscillators and filters, much of the classic sound of Prophet-5 was the result of Poly Mod, which is faithfully present here as well. True to the original, modulation sources are Filter Envelope and Oscillator B. Destinations include Oscillator A frequency, Oscillator A pulse width, and low-pass filter. The range of sounds possible defy its simplicity. Another welcome reprise is Unison mode, which now features configurable voice count (1-5 voices) with variable detuning, and chord memory. And now Glide works both in and out of Unison.

The Whole Package

All of this punchy, powerful, analog goodness is housed in a full, five-octave, semi-weighted Fatar keyboard with USB, MIDI, Gate and CV ins/outs, and a premium-quality, steel and hand-oiled, sustainable black walnut heartwood body that make it as satisfying to behold as it is to hear and play.


Prophet-5 Specifications
OSCILLATORS
  • Two authentic CEM 3340 VCOs per voice
  • Simultaneously selectable wave shapes. Oscillator A: sawtooth, pulse. Oscillator B: sawtooth, triangle, pulse.
  • Pulse width per oscillator
  • Hard sync: oscillator 1 syncs to oscillator 2
  • Low frequency mode (oscillator 2)
  • Keyboard tracking on/off (oscillator 2)
    LOW-PASS FILTER
    • Four-pole, resonant, low-pass filter per voice
    • Switchable between authentic versions of the Prophet-5 Rev1/2 filter and Prophet-5 Rev3 filter
    • Rev1/2 filter is a Dave Rossum-designed 2140, the modern counterpart of the original 2040 filter found in the Prophet-5 Rev1 and Rev2
    • Rev3 filter is a Doug Curtis-designed CEM 3320
    • Filter can be driven into self-oscillation with the Resonance control
    • Keyboard tracking: off, half, full
    FILTER ENVELOPE
    • Four-stage (ADSR) envelope generator
    • Velocity modulation of envelope amount
    AMPLIFIER ENVELOPE
    • Four-stage (ADSR) envelope generator
    • Velocity modulation of envelope amount
    LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATOR
    • Three wave shapes: sawtooth, triangle, square. All waveshapes can be engaged simultaneously
    • Both Initial Amount and mod wheel control
    • Mod destinations: oscillator A frequency, oscillator B frequency, oscillator A and B pulse width, filter cutoff
    POLY MOD
    • Sources: filter envelope and oscillator B
    • Destinations: oscillator A frequency, oscillator A pulse width, filter cutoff
    VINTAGE KNOB
    • Recreates the characteristics of various Prophet-5 models by varying the behavior of oscillators, envelopes, amplifiers, and other parameters. Go from a very stable “4” — as in Prophet-5 Rev4, (the new version) — all the way to “1,” as in Prophet-5 Rev1, the rarest and most temperamental of all Prophet-5s.
    AFTERTOUCH
    • Channel (mono) aftertouch
    • Destinations: filter cutoff frequency, LFO amount
      PATCH MEMORY
      • 200 user and 200 factory programs in 5 banks of 40 programs each
      • Direct program access, including Prophet 5-style single-button access to the current set of 8 programs
      IN/OUT
      • Mono output (1 x 1/4” phone jack)
      • Headphone output (stereo, 1/4” phone jack)
      • MIDI in, out, and thru ports
      • USB for bidirectional MIDI communication
      • Control voltage in/out (1 x 1/4” phone jack) 0- +5V input/output signal. Configured for 1-volt-per-octave operation.
      • Gate in/out (1 x 1/4” phone jack). Accepts a 1.5 to 15-volt on/off signal to gate the envelopes of a single voice on the Prophet-5. Outputs a 15-volt on/off used to gate the envelopes of an external synth.
      • Low-pass filter cutoff expression pedal input
      • Volume expression pedal input
      • Sustain footswitch input
        PHYSICAL SPECS
        • 37.5” L x 16.4 W x 4.9″ H (95.25 cm x 41.6 cm x 12.4 cm)
