This is a very beautiful looking and sounding synth. And of course great demos.

[keybdwizrd]

@SynthPlaysYou Thank you very much.

What's the name of that knob you always seem to be tweaking in the middle of the synth during some patches? I'm considering getting Native Instrument's Prophet-53 VST and would like to toy with it too :)

[keybdwizrd]

It is likely the filter cutoff frequency.

after i listen to this and go back to listening the virus, i think the virus sucks

If all this is done onboard by the Prophet '08, must be the single most versitile analogue synth I've ever seen by a fair margin. sounds classic too...reminds me of so many signature Moog and ARP sounds with all the warmth and yet with insane clarity...makes me want one!

@keybdwizrd lol

@Stryker1999 I just bought the '08 off an eBay American seller - actually bought new but they sent me the b stock by mistake. The encoders weren't working properly (go up and down instead when turning only down for e.g.). Checked with DSI about the serial number and the keyboard was more than 3 years old. I'd be very careful when purposely buyin b-stock - and the new stock doesn't come in original packaging. Just for the tip.

@lavakava Yeah wow i totally agree dude.... only thing i compare to the proph08 is alesis Andromeda a6

[stryker1999]

By the way, ebay does have a few qualified sellers of the keyboard and module, and they sometimes offer good sales and decent prices on B-Specs and demo units.

[stryker1999]

@GV1UK They do indeed! Nicely priced, usually. I'm debating on which to buy too, as I have a few keyboards myself.

[GV1UK]

@stryker1999 I'm saving for the prophet as we speak, I'm just running out of space. Do they make a rack mounted version?

[stryker1999]

@GV1UK Dude, I'm in the exact same boat with you. I love them both, but I've wanted a real analog for many years. Been hesitating on this for a long time, and now prices on Andromedas are just ridiculous. This is about as good, and comes with a warranty!

0:41 Magnificent!!!! I imagine being whisked away on ELO's starship....Reminds me of their 1981 album "Time" that featured the mighty Oberheim OB-Xa ~_^

[gombie]

What do you think, the evolver's out of stock everywhere, should i buy this, wait for another synthesizer or buy some other synth?

[Meteotrance]

i think it's easy to do the brassy sound of Steve wonder and Toto with that kind of keyboard, at this point it's far better than any digital or software emulation i realy need to buy it.
