Prophet 08 RACK

Expected in April !!!

The damn good 'fat' sounding Prophet 08 will soon be available in RACK !

How about that... come and listen to the Porphet 08 and order your rack NOW to be among the first to get one !

All of the features and controls of the Prophet '08 Keyboard (minus the keyboard, of course) in an even more compact enclosure. With real analog oscillators, famed Curtis low-pass filters, and analog VCAs, the Prophet '08 is capable of reproducing the familiar sounds of its legendary predecessors. But modern features like a greatly expanded modulation matrix and additional modulation sources—like three envelopes and four LFOs per voice—take it way beyond the vintage gear and make this a worthy and unique addition to the Prophet family tree.

Features include a gated 16 x 4 step sequencer, arpeggiator, split or stacked key modes with separate stereo outputs per layer, and rack ears for optional rack-mounting. The Prophet '08 module can also be used as an expander to increase the polyphony of another Prophet '08—keyboard or module—to 16 voices.

The only affordable, full-featured polysynth with a 100% analog signal path.
Classic, real analog sound, including legendary Curtis analog low-pass filters, married to a modern feature set.
Small footprint, huge sound.
Tons of knobs for direct, real-time editing and performance.
Used as an expander, increases polyphony of another Prophet '08 to 16 voices.

 

 

 


  

Prophet 08

WOW.. NOW IN THE SHOP !!!

Come and try this wonderful new `ANALOG synthesizer !!

OUR Favorite synth !! bold gorgeous beautifull easy to use and more affordable than we ever dared to hope !

The Prophet '08 is an eight-voice synthesizer with a 100% analog signal path. While the Prophet '08's overall sonic character will be familiar to anyone who knows Dave's work from the '70s and '80s, it is much more than just a vintage reissue with a few new bells and whistles. Of course, it includes features we now take for granted, like velocity and aftertouch. Add to that performance features like an arpeggiator, gated step sequencer, and the ability to split and layer sounds. The modulation possibilities are much deeper than anything Sequential ever produced, making it capable of producing sounds the "classics" simply could not. Dave has always said that he is only interested in moving forward. The Prophet '08 is the product of evolution, not nostalgia.

The Prophet 08 (std) costs € 1895.- (inc 21% tax)

we also got one limited signature prophet 08 !
... for only € 2285 incl 21% sales tax !

 




The stereo instrument has a classic 2-oscillator, 2/4 pole resonant Curtis lowpass filter and VCA architecture, and 52 knobs to tweak.
It then goes well beyond the original Prophet by including 4 LFOs, 3 envelopes, and a gated sequencer per voice.
Each program has two layers, so the sounds can be easily stacked or split. A four-mode latchable arpeggiator is also included.
A 5 octave keyboard with velocity and aftertouch, and pitch and mod wheels all housed in a sturdy
metal enclosure with exotic hardwood end panels complete the package. 

“My customers told me they wanted a pure analog synth to complement our Evolver and Poly Evolver synths”, says Dave Smith.
“This is the monster synth they have been waiting for; retaining the classic sound while adding a host of new features unavailable on the originals.”
