When I tested this I found that Native Instruments' Pro 53 was almost identical to the original, whereas the Arturia version had subtle differences in many places.

@TheFrokka The Arturia layout and function of knobs and switches matches the original Prophet while the Native Instruments differs. This is why i prefer the Arturia.

I love artoria stuff, used them for years....ive decided to sell my 6 artoria synths....need to sell as 1 package as the licence for all 6 synths is on 1 dongle

[MrBa6]

@tubewayarmy2005 As far as i know is it possible to buy separate dongles and to transfer single licences to them.

Great video! On the first factory sound at 0:38 what song are you playing?

[MrBa6]

@MrVanquish4 Thank you for your Comment! Its not really a song at 0:38, just a few chords: Am7 Am/G Dm7 Em7

Hi guys, I did the sound on the prophet v for arturia and also programmed the factory preset bank. We used the rarer rev 2 prophet for the emulation, it sounds quite different to the later rev 3...

I love all these people saying "Oh, the original sounds so much better! The Arturia version is so dull!" Me thinks that 95% of these people honestly can't tell the difference.

[maccagrabme]

So would you sell the real thing given that 90% of the sound seems to be there in software?

[BruinBrass]

MrBa6, thanks for these videos. Although the Alturia Prophet comes close to the real thing, there's nothing like working with hardware when recording and playing live, IMHO. I used to own a P5 v. 3.3, am now considering the Prophet 08 PE which has more of what I always wanted in the P5.

both synths sound very dull for me. RME fireface 800 and ADAM A7 is my environment. I can hardly believe that was a real hardware Prophet V by SCI.

But grateful to the programmers of Arturia, as the new gen guys can get an idea how the real hardware synth sounded, maybe synths that many will never be able to afford etc, so cheers and thanks to the vsts developers. But that all dude, do not pretend that your vsts are better or the same as the real hardwares.

How can a pocket cunt feel the same like a real cunt. Use your logic.

[malatia7575]

You definitely cannot compare, the harmonics and the rumbling as someone mentioned, absent in the software version. The warmth and the depth too. Well I could make a lists, it is like comparing a Matchbox car with a real car.

I have a Prophet 5 (3.3) and Prophet V. The Prophet V does a really good job of emulating the qualities of the real instrument. I could use either in a mix and nobody would hear the difference at all. each voice of a typical P5 sounds different now days because of aging caps and parts. If the Prophet 5 was restored to original condition and calibrated, they would sound 99% the same = something that you could only hear in tweeker shootouts and not in the real world context of a song.
