Sequential Prophet 5/10 Sound Bank

This Synth Universe Sound Bank is a bank of 80 patches for the Prophet 5 and Prophet 10 rev 4 synthesizers (keyboard and desktop versions). 

The Prophet 5 is a classic analog synthesizer released originally in 1978 and then re-issued as rev 4 in 2020. The more time I spend with it, the more I realise why it became a classic and has been so widely used. Despite the simple user interface and the quite modest feature set by modern standards, it is capable of producing a wide range of pleasing timbres from the pure and warm to rich, strident and complex. I am therefore excited to share the results of years playing and programming the Prophet with the 80 patches in this sound bank.

The bank contains a wide range of pro quality sounds including pads, strings, brass, poly synths, keys, bass, leads, tuned percussion and sines. 

If you have not watched the sound bank video demos, view on YouTube here (patches 1 - 20), here (patches 21 - 40), here (patches 41 - 60) and here (patches 61 - 80).

I set myself quite high standards for sounds being accepted into this bank. I've aimed for sounds that are robust, usable and distinctive, with nothing too esoteric or experimental. Although the Prophet is capable of some amazing sound effects, I figured these would not be relevant to the majority of users (although I include two at the end of the bank).

There are plenty of pads with different timbres from warm through to bright and sizzly. PWM (pulse width modulation) is very characteristic on the Prophet and it has been used on a number of the pads and strings. The Prophet's filters self-oscillate and track the keyboard perfectly, creating lovely warm sines that I have exploited in a number of sounds. The Poly-mod section has been used to create bells and chimes and for subtle pitch modulation to emulate brass and other instruments.

Unison mode is used on a number of the patches. If you are playing a Prophet 5 then this will be monophonic. If you are playing a Prophet 10, some sounds use polyphonic unison enabling you to play chords in unison mode. 

After purchase, the sound bank files will be available for download and these are provided in both SysEx and Sound Tower formats. There is also a Read Me document explaining how to load the sounds into your Prophet 5/10 and a full Patch List with notes.

Sorry no refunds or swaps once you've purchased.
