SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS PROPHET 5【DEMO】PART 2

[VisceralVoids]

You made the Prophet sound so evil, great job. My favorite old-school polysynth.

WTB Prophet 5 Rev 3.2/3.3

[1969atam]

99% of hollywood filmscores are crap except for the good songs they included to make you buy the soundtrack. They pick classic hits to boost crap movies!! I love your demo. Fantastic sound. :)

[TheSYNTHOID]

Nice deep droning...

[DIGITALSCREAMS]

This was all played by hand, no midi, no CV control - just multitracked about 5 times and done in one take - many years ago

[SamDelil]

one master synthetizer

[metabog]

Wow... how did you get that pulsating low drone?

[alainraes]

as a longtime prophet 5+remote user and owned

about every synth i can personally say the prophet remains unrivalled even in analogworld for his extremely moody sound and ability to generate abstract ethnic sounds, its biggest secrets are polyphonic crossmod depending on chords held and osc modulation of Pulsewidth, listen to Japans Tindrum, ymo

, patrick cowley ,tangerine dream , the 5

produced the best music

[discothief]

There is only one prohet. Second comment I've left for this demo. The other DigitalScreams pro' 5 demo is shit hot too. Analogue is the best ever for synths. No wonder John Carpenter insisted on using these for his music scores, very dark.

[LuxX63]

Another demostration of what these instruments were able to do,a sound very actual and warm!Why do the collectors world so hard to have one?I hate collectors of anything,kill the wish to play,and discover new sounds!BAH!!!!

brilliant. The prophet 5 is up there with the cs80 and minimoog, I dream of owning one. Last tim I saw one for sale it was around £6,000. Your so lucky! They should still be using these synths in filmscores nowadays instead of that computerised orchestral rubbish

[Watcher3223]

You definitely make a great point there.

I love orchestral music and I find it totally grating when somebody tries to imitate it electronically; it never sounds right and always reveals how poor a film's production values are.

If it's electronic, it should sound electronic and be used appropriately as a compliment to the orchestra, like Jerry Goldsmith did with many of his very fine film scores.

[oS2006DE]

Indeed. Emulations of orchestral instruments should be placed as far back in a mix as possible, or it will sound canned. Doesn't matter how good the samples are. I remember they were throwing a huge circlejerk over the guys that did the scores for Star Trek Legacy, and it didn't sound any different from any other sequenced orchestral stuff.

[spiek]

Agree! This philosophy is sometime referred to as 'truth to materials' in architecture.

[CKnoxW]

Yeah, digital orchestra's just remind me of midi and old video games. You just can't capture all the expression of a true orchestra. But synths acting like synths are some of the coolest things in the world. None of that emulation stuff.

[cub005]

excellent stuff !

[mogoduc]

Spooky! Another John Carpenter soundtrack?:-)
