SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS PROPHET 5【DEMO】PART 2

I think this must be one of the first recordings I ever made. I can remember it being stormy outside, raining hard and blowing a gail (worrying combination when using analog gear lol!) and I had just finished watching Alien and The Fog. I fired up the P5 Rev 3.3 and recorded some sounds with the view of making some kinda filmscore. Well, I never got round to finishing it.....this clip was done within 20 mins and features some famous sounds. You may recognise the 'Whaling' sound featured on Star Trek 'The Voyage Home' and also the dark drone in 'Alien'. I programmed the rest of the sounds myself. Lovely, atmospheric synth - if you cant get hold of one of these get the new DSI Prophet 08 instead :D

[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

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.

[VisceralVoids]

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

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...

[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

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

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.
