Analog Synthesizer DSI Prophet '08 Trance Patches Audio Demo

[isaacrife08]

Buying one this Friday! I would get a Jupiter 8 or a Andromeda but for an 18 year old kid this should suffice! To anyone who has never had an analog synth i recommend one i started on a Juno 106 and you can't get the warmth and Presence from digital machines.

[jessehaley615]

I want this video on my OT-E100 unit.

[ebastianlar718s]

This video is a favorite on Ghana

[faun2500]

Brilliant sound! 

[thewakz]

must have synth for trance music! holy amazing!

[JimmyV2009]

this synth has a real nice raw unrefined sound to it. Me likes A  LOT!

[ItsCadenTime]

I actually like your demos more than the actual songs

[jmdodge]

Killer demo!

[SrNutritivo]

Thanks man... this is the first time I ear the real potential of this machine... If I buy one of these or a Evolver, I will purchase your awesome patches!

[theRealIonian]

Even though they're not your tunes, great job re-creating them on the Prophet. Sounds great - Fat and radio ready! All on one synth. NIce, man.

[sentokan]

Is the Tetra as good as the Prophet 08? Thanks

[jimba11z]

How do you get that delay!!

[Carlito4247]

Amazing!!! Pure pleasure!!! And fantastic memories.... Greetings :)

[Meteotrance]

arf i love those massive warm detune string XD it's realy impossible to have that with digital emulation .

[Senj1n]

@Meteotrance You obviously never played a Omnisphere, Gladiator or Sylenth1 :D

[Meteotrance]

@Senj1n sorry but you know analog as always a better juice in pure synth domain. if you go digital omnisphere or absynth why not, but i've started making music since 1994 and im a pure gearhead freak, when i listen to an analog synth it bring me so much memory.

[Meteotrance]

Dude that's awesome, the guy who played toto africa convince me to buy that keyboard but your patch trance are so gorgeous if only the producer of electro used that for produced music today, we can have much more better track.

[micmicmic09]

how can i do this? sorry for being idiot but im starting to get crazy in trance instruments..pls help..thankss sorry 4 my english

[mindtravelo]

i really like listening to this :) sounds so wunderful!

[tomek4226]

this soundset works great with Dave Smith Instruments MOPHO. THANKS Alan!!

[rustingblue]

Mmm!...It gets like you need this for the left hand and a Virus for the right. Or vice versa.

[musictec1]

Great sound.R

[SupaSandeep]

this is a great soundset, I downloaded it and LOVE it, I think it's important to point out that these demo songs use a good amount of effects which are done outside of the prophet, the prophet itself doesn't have these effects or any for that matter...

[musicman2047]

Can i use these sounds on DSI tetra?

[gombie]

@musicman2047

I've heard you can.

[djomercohen]

i wish i could afford it

[jackslaughters]

im baked right now and this shit sounds spectacular!!

[TheMagiAlexander]

For all our analogue needs ...

[hiian123]

wow sounds GREAT! unfortunately at 15 years old i don't have 3k to spend on an analog synth so ill jst have to settle with a roland gaia

[rustymunga]

@hiian123 not such a bad synth in its own right.. but your going to miss out on that true analogue sound.

[Drewbyy]

@rustymunga too true, once you've properly experience analogue you'll only want analogue :)

[cprostudio]

@Drewbyy i think for contemporary times, both are essential and compliment each other well. Digital synths should be used for digital sound, an analog for analog sounds. Its when companies and artists try to emulate the rawness and organicism through emulations that such digital synths can't possibly hold up.

[SyntheticsUK]

One of the best demo's I've heard for the P08. Great work Alan

[flkatk]

name of the song after lovin feeling?

[PatTheMav]

@flkatk Madonna - What it feels like for a girl (Above and Beyond Remix)

[PhotoAnimationGuy]

2:50 is where it's at

[SyntheticsUK]

Beautiful demo.

[xxgogsxx]

Hearing this convinced me to start saving up my money to purchase one of these. I owe it to myself

[leondanee]

Hello, Alan, thank you for giving me the song name. I found a trance version of this. so my next question is if the music here is a cover done by you, if yes, can you send me this? I am arranging a dream version of this song. greetz daniel

[Raysenify]

Hi, many thnx , how to load patches to my Prophet 08 Module ?

[Raysenify]

Hi, many thnx , how to load patches to my Prophet 08 Module ?

[leondanee]

Hello Alan,

are all the songs played here your own compositions? I love the first theme. Where can I get it?? Thanks. Daniel

[alanmarcero]

@leondanee First one is Kandi & Neumann - Lovin' Feeling. Great track. I don't think any of the tracks in this demo are my own composition.

[faun2500]

@alanmarcero Yeah, and what a tune! :)

[bullbunnies]

@alanmarcero Hi, do you have these patches for a DAW?

[nodnarbewol]

amazing. savin up for one

[SlunkLord57]

This is going to be the next keyboard I purchase without a doubt. The sounds are so gorgeous, it now makes me wonder why I thought digital was good in the first place. Price was probably the most off-putting thing, but that won't be an issue after a few months.

You sir, have just introduced me to one of the most glorious modern synthesizers to ever grace the musical world. Kudos. \m/

[777RavenousWolf777]

I already have the moog voyager. Should I get this or the Poly Evolver?

[alanmarcero]

@777RavenousWolf777 Andromeda. :P

[trenticle]

@alanmarcero Except that the andromeda has been discontinued.

[HyperSonic707]

@alanmarcero i wish i could afford an andromeda, but i need a virus more and the andromeda is discontinued anyways

[cprostudio]

@HyperSonic707 dude, i have both, including a prophet. If i where you i would get a prophet if the andromedas out of reach and a roland D50, this will give you best of both worlds on a tight budget

[HyperSonic707]

@777RavenousWolf777 if you already have a voyager, get a virus (if you want trance sounds) or get a prophet 08 (for more analog sounds)

[Barelinio]

@777RavenousWolf777

maybe you already bought one,

but as the voyager is monophonic, and the PE (or PEK) is 4-voice,

I'd go for a Prophet 08, if you want to play chords (live, and don't multitrack).

Everything else: Go for a PEK! Got one, love it... or a Blofeld, totally different, but great ;)

[Senj1n]

@777RavenousWolf777 If you own a Voyager go for a Clavia Nord II you cant fail with both of them.. Pure Analog & ^great digital = win win

[djomercohen]

@777RavenousWolf777 this is one is modern and more versatile, the poly evolver is more like a vintage arp synth, no?

[Biopharmer]

see, this is a nice keyboard, but I wish it could be 8 part multi timbral.

[alanmarcero]

@Biopharmer An OS update made it two part, at least. They could squeeze four mono parts out of it, too, I'm sure.

[robinsoncobb]

Love the strings behind the lead 0-1:45!

[SencorJulius]

Hi there, Guys :)

OMG! I can't wait to have it in my Studio :))

[deejaytruong]

Hey Alan M ;)

what fx did you use on this demo?

[alanmarcero]

@deejaytruong Nothing special. I think they were the ones included with Cubase SX 3.

[Solaris1992]

Great patches. Unfortunately are not free like the title suggested.

[alanmarcero]

@Solaris1992 Sure they are. Just enter 0.00 as the price. It says that right under every item.

[Solaris1992]

OK. Now I understand it. Thank you very much!

[newpro5657]

Excellent work! Truly Analog all the way. Great use of effects to open up the sound - gives a tasty ambience. When I listen to this and my old files of P08 recordings I miss the Prophet and the way it records...full and warm. I am thinking of getting one of DSI's tetras.

Thanks - Sam

[vintagewars]

The Proghet is just down right amazing sounding. Songs like this really show the unbelievable quality of analog synths at their best. Now just to able to afford this bad boy!

Love the first song, that ambiance is beautiful man! Three thumbs up!

[wvr11238]

great work, the prophet 08 is really a sweet sounding synth. That first backing Pad sounds HUUUGEE

[TheMagiAlexander]

What about the other oscillator ie. 'Sine'. or this 'square' 50/50 pulse width? They are very useful aswell.

[alanmarcero]

@TheMagiAlexander The P08 actually has no Sine wave for whatever technical reason. You can just barely create one using the filter and proper filter stepping. One of my patches does this, I beleive.

[TheMagiAlexander]

Did I really deserve a thumbs up lol. I am guessing then self oscillation is the only way to generate a sine tone?

[sacredgeometry]

what a beautiful sounding lead patch

[alanmarcero]

@cherrypoots Thanks. :D Famicom is a pretty good track especially considering the circumstances surrounding its creation! Heh.

[yeho09]

whats the first song?

[gtadead]

do you recommend this synth for hardstyle/hard dance producers?please reply thanks!

[alanmarcero]

@gtadead No.  Get a Virus. They all do. :P

[byomark]

power tunes!!!

[weaponEX]

What are your opinions on Arturia Analog Factory, if any?

[alanmarcero]

@weaponEX Arturia makes some pretty good instruments. Although the weak point on them is the envelopes. The OSCs and Filters are pretty damn close to the instruments they are emulating, though.

But my main issue with Arturia synths is that, while the instruments they are emulating *soudn* great, they were not very powerful. They try to add some "software only" features, but they don't do enough to match the features of a good modern analog.

[Tisafuni]

This is a beast !

Nothing compare to the 08

[EliasBarouche]

are there like thousands of patches like the virus?-_-

[thet180]

i believe it comes with 128 patches stock

[alanmarcero]

@thet180 256, actually.

[mindphlux]

...make your own sounds

[EliasBarouche]

yes thats why i want an analog synth i just asking like that dont need to say that u know.

[Glisevask]

I agree with you, but when you don't know how to make sounds it's great to have presets you can fiddle with and make your own, and see how they are constructed. I bet most sound designers started there.

[mindphlux]

100% agreed

[nanotrax]

Epic

[justtomA89]

Great sounds.

P.S. Really what is the title of the first track??

[MusicNon5top]

Daniel Kandi & Neumann - Lovin' Feeling

P.S. Magic tune!

[heuter303]

wat is the track title of the first song?

[MusicNon5top]

Daniel Kandi & Neumann - Lovin' Feeling

P.S. Awsome tune!

[nnikinka]

If you have to ask. Don't ask.

[alanmarcero]

I actually liked the Prophet '08 a lot more than the Evolver. I can't really say I'm a fan of anything from DSI presently, though. I don't own any of their instruments anymore.

[DavePerry2012]

I think it sounds great with the filter closed down. I hate the abrasive high end of it, though.

[alanmarcero]

@DavePerry2012 Yes, it's a very gritty instrument.

[DavePerry2012]

I just sold mine so I hope he is happy with it.

[starbearer76]

well...im a synth snob, and i have a pretty good tuned ear. i know its analog (im not stupid), but its still missing girth on the low end. it breaks apart a bit like a virtual. its more in the sub-harmonic content that im talking about. im not the only person who thinks this. shoot this out against the mono or poly evolver and they smoke this prophet 8.

[e6400ultra]

LOL. Breaking up in the sub-harmonic content? Gimme a break.

[starbearer76]

whats wrong with saying what i've heard. its not like im attacking anyone personally. YES it doesn't have the sub harmonic quality that the poly evolver or especially the mono evolver has. i think they probably skimped on a few parts like possibly routing analog signals through multiplexers that don't sound good. im not saying that the prophet 8 sucks. im just saying that when i played one, i felt like it could have been made just a little bit better.

[AT02852]

what was the song in the beginning, but awsome sounds dude

[raizumichin]

All analog signal path, but digitally controlled for better stability.

[mattrozak]

i have a microkorg and frankly, i dont like it. it just sounds so buzzy and dry (thats the best i can think of). the prophet is sick though.

[bonzotracker]

i think im in love

[thestash16]

i think 3 osc will be good on this thing! love the sound of analog.... is there any chance of doing some waldorf blofeld patches like these?

[alanmarcero]

I had a blofeld about a year ago and wound up selling it. I didn't like the interface. I do now own a Waldorf Q, though. The Blofeld can take patches from the Q, I believe.

[Dogboy73]

Great sound but I'd like ot hear it without the external FX.

[alanmarcero]

I'll be sure to put in some parts with no FX in future demos.

[Vocod3r]

never heard trance presets of this synth before...

now i have a better opinion on it.

[crazy8ightz888]

God I would do anything for the this synth.......... I mean it.......anything.

[GCom67]

Wonderful sounds!! Great analog synth ;)

[pioneer7s]

some of the best trancce sounds i've ever heard..!!

[Christopherbirts]

AMAZING!
