Just announced at NAMM. Crazy digital/analog hybrid thing. Sounds awesome.
tl;dr- Watch the damn video. It's cool. |

I highly approve of such noisers. Love the analogy sounding stuff. I use my yamaha more live since I'm only bringing 1 keyboard now, and I need a good piano sound, but the Alesis jobby I have has much better analog sounds, they really cut through the mix much better. |

Yarr, those dave smiffs are s'posed to be swellashell. I really like what they build in general very oldschool/newschool style. Like 'old stuff sounded awesome, but sucked to keep working properly so we smushed just enough newschool to make it work and sound cool.' |

As a regular abuser of the Prophet 08, I agree. My only beef with the thing is the rotary encoders- which have since been replaced with normal pots in current production. I guess you can have it modded/retrofitted, but that costs money. The encoders are... A bit touchy. The actual sound of the thing, though, is full-on awesome. Uber-thick. This creature, the Prophet 12 (an addition to the line, not a replacement for the 08) is a bit of a different critter in that it has full-on digital oscillators, not VCOs or DCOs. Predictably, people on forums are bitching about that- never mind the host of awesome digital synths out there- and the fact it can produce sounds that aren't possible with analog oscillators. Virtual analog it ain't; more something in the tradition of the old Prophet VS, PPG Wave, etc. It has violet noise. This alone does it for me. |
