Synths | Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 (1978)

The Prophet-5 is an analog synthesizer manufactured by Sequential Circuits between 1978 and 1984. It was designed by Dave Smith and John Bowen.

The Prophet-5 was the first fully programmable polyphonic synthesizer and the first musical instrument with an embedded microprocessor. About 6,000 units were produced across three revisions. The Prophet-5 was used especially by progressive rock bands and film composers. It has been emulated in software synthesizers and analog hardware.


It is Patrick Cowley's main synth.

Here I'm just emulating some of his sounds.
