DSI komt wel hard zeg met synths en producten..damn.
Het klinkt hier over de monitoren behoorlijk sick en wat ik ook gruwelijk vind is dat het gewoon VCO's zijn.

Echt wel vintage maar dan met een boost en wat hedendaagse snufjes, het valt me nu al lekker op de maag.
 
Dave Smith weet ons weer te verrassen! Ben ook benieuwd wat dit moet gaan kosten, anders wordt Smith concurrent va zichzelf.
 
Fraai staaltje weer van Dave. Met de Prophet 12 en Pro 2 nog vrij recent in het geheugen nu al weer met zo'n dikke bak komen is wel erg stoer. Ben benieuwd wat het prijskaartje wordt.
 
Van amazona.de:
Preis

US-MAP 2.799 Dollar
 
Heilige bimbam !

Het word te veel allemaaal.

En ik heb geeneens plek voor keyboards in de studio momenteel :(

Wel enorm goed van Dave !
 
Prijs zal rond de 2500 Euro komen denk ik (2800 USD) word de amerikaanse prijs!!
Wordt leuk!
 
Hier nog een mooi sales verhaaltje :-)

Legendary Designer Debuts New Analog Poly Synth with Discrete VCOs and Filters
Anaheim, CA—January 22, 2015—Dave Smith today announced the Sequential Prophet-6, a new 6-voice
synthesizer with an all-analog signal path and discrete VCOs and filters. Auspiciously branded with Smith’s recently
reacquired original company name, the new instrument is aimed squarely at musicians in search of vintage tone with
the reliability of modern technology. Said Smith: “The Prophet-6 is a tribute to the original poly synth that started it
all—the Sequential Prophet-5. But more importantly, it’s the culmination of our effort to build the most awesomesounding,
modern analog poly synth possible.” Added Smith: “It’s not a reissue, it’s vintage with a modern twist.”
The Prophet-6 features two newly-designed, discrete voltage-controlled oscillators (plus sub-oscillator) per voice,
with continuously variable waveshapes (triangle, sawtooth, and variable-width pulse). There are two discrete filters
per voice: a four-pole, resonant, low-pass inspired by the original Prophet-5 filter, and a two-pole, resonant, highpass
filter. Voltage-controlled amplifiers complete the all-analog signal path. “Our new VCOs, VCAs and filters give
the Prophet-6 terrific warmth and presence,” said Smith. “The classic, big, punchy analog poly sound is all here.”
Also present from its classic predecessor is the much-loved Poly Mod section, albeit with enhancements. True to the
original, modulation sources are filter envelope and oscillator 2 (both with bi-polar control). Destinations however,
have been expanded to include oscillator 1 frequency, oscillator 1 shape, oscillator 1 pulse width, low-pass filter
cutoff, and high-pass filter cutoff. Another welcome reprise is Unison mode, which features configurable voice count
(1-6 voices) and key modes.
The knob-per-function front panel is free of menu-diving, offering immediate access to virtually all parameters.
Toggling off the Preset switch enables live panel mode, in which the sound of the instrument switches to the current
settings of its knobs and switches. “We wanted to make the Prophet-6 as fast and easy to navigate as possible.
Switch off Preset and what you see is what you hear,” said Smith.
A significant enhancement to the original design is a dual effects section with studio-quality reverbs, delays
(including standard and BBD), chorus and phase shifter. While the effects themselves are digital, with 24-bit, 48 kHz
resolution, a true bypass maintains a full analog signal path. An independent stereo distortion is also provided and is
100% analog.
Additionally, the Prophet-6 features a multimode arpeggiator and a polyphonic step sequencer with up to 64 steps (and up
to 6 notes per step) plus rests. It allows polyphonic keyboard input and can sync to external MIDI clock.
The full-size, four-octave, semi-weighted keyboard is velocity and aftertouch sensitive. “We completely empathize
with project studios and gigging musicians,” said Smith, “so we made size a primary concern on the Prophet-6. We
think it’s an ideal mix of portability and power. Best of all, it sounds amazing. Musicians are going to love it. ”
The Prophet-6 will be available in the second quarter of 2015 with a projected MAP of $2,799.
