The Prophet 5 is a classic analog synthesizer that has been used in countless recordings since its introduction in 1978. Its warm, rich sound and versatile modulation capabilities have made it a favorite of musicians in many genres.

I really wonder how many Prophets or Minimoogs or Whatever are really needed.......

 

Only one, usually.

 

that's the point. it seems its much more lucrative to develop one analog emulation after the next. its much more complicated to cook something new.
there's still no vsynth as vst, still no eventide h9000 native, etc.

 

If it's anything like the Model 84 then you'll want this one.

I love Softube synth emulations as they're like... out of this world accurate. But in this case they're going head-to-head with U-He's amazing Repro-5, which already was on another level and offers some extra's that are missing in the Softube (like FX, a basic mod matrix and under-the-hood voice, filter and envelope tweaks). But if you don't already have Repro-5, the Softube one is cheaper.

Choices! Either way, you can't go wrong. Or choose to not buy anything, always a good option too ;-)

 

Yes it's cheaper, for about 4 USD. Introductory price aside, they are both around $160. Sale price may tell a different story.

Anyway, this feels very unnecessary. Of all classic analog synths, Prophet emulations are among the ones i've seen less people complain about when comparing to hardware so...Why?

 

I really wounder how many more they going to create because these are one of the best synths of all time i will never get tired of them i want them to keep making emulations of them because it gives me options on which one sounds better and which one is for me and you and him and her yes sir !!

 

yeah the emulations is pretty good i want to see them tackle some more iconic synths

 

interesting prospective

 

It makes sense for a company to make its own version. This is a workhorse legendary synthesizer.
