"Giancarlo! Come quick, I can smell something a-brewing!"

 

Whew! I was getting worried we'd never see another piece of software marketed as a 'P5 recreation' and we'd be left only with the 17 or so we already had. Boy I sure hope they do a Model D next.

 

Expanse‑5 by Acustica Audio: Is This THE Prophet‑5 Emulation?

 

CPU is crazy on this one.

 

its sounds really good, it has that extra 10%, but im done with their synths. they have a long ways to go. i can suffer through the acustica hurdles for an eq or preamp, and the odd comp or saturator, but no way in hell am i suffering through it with a much more complicated synth. I bought TH8 from them, and while it does sound incredible, its slow, buggy, and needs serious optimization. I'll come back when they've done 10 or so synths, and are on TH8-2. Let them smooth things out and streamline their synth process.

A credible Prophet 5 emulation.
