Sequential Prophet-5 Desktop Module

The Sequential Prophet-5 is an analog, 5-voice polyphonic synthesizer that combines classic, warm analog sound with modern functionality in a compact desktop form. Created by Sequential, this instrument features authentic Curtis VCO analog oscillators and low-pass filters designed by Dave Rossum and Doug Curtis, delivering unparalleled sound quality inspired by the legendary Sequential Prophet-5 models – Rev1, Rev2, and Rev3. The Sequential Prophet-5 is the perfect solution for musicians looking for classic sound in an easy-to-use, modern package.

Its uniqueness lies in combining the durability of modern instruments with the rich, iconic sound that the Sequential Prophet-5 is known for. Features such as Poly Mod and the Vintage Knob allow users to tailor the sound to match the specifications of the various Sequential Prophet-5 revisions. The ability to expand up to 10 voices and the inclusion of 200 factory programs and 200 user memory slots offer significant flexibility for sound creation, storage, and experimentation.
