  • Page 9: A Few Words Of Thanks

    Sequential’s most famous instrument, the Prophet-5, the poly synth that started it all. The Sequential Prophet-6 takes the best qualities of the Prophet-5 and adds some nice touches that the original never had, such as stereo outputs, velocity and aftertouch sensitivity, dual digital effects, a high-pass filter, a polyphonic step sequencer, an arpeggiator, and of course, MIDI.

  • Page 11: Getting Started

    Getting Started The Prophet-6 is a six-voice, polyphonic analog synthesizer with voltage-controlled oscillators, filters, and amplifiers. It was designed to provide all of the warmth and presence of a vintage-era synth with the added convenience and stability of a state-of-the-art, modern instrument. The Prophet-6 is first and foremost a performance instrument.

    Mixer The Mixer section is where you set the levels of the various sound generators on the Prophet-6. These include Oscillator 1, Oscillator 2, Sub Octave (Oscillator 1 sub oscillator) and the white noise generator. You must turn up at least one of these in order to make sound with the Prophet-6.

    It would begin immediately, remain at its full volume for the duration of the note, then end immediately when the note was released. Again, that’s not very interesting sonically and it’s not typi- cally how instruments behave in the real world. Amplifier Envelope Dave Smith Instruments...
  • Page 35 To give you a real-world example, the main difference between the sound of the wind and the sound of a snare drum is that they have very different volume envelopes. Otherwise, they are essentially both white noise. Wind has a relatively slow attack, a long sustain, and a long decay and release.

    Arpeggiator The Prophet-6 has a full-featured Arpeggiator. Turn it on, hold a chord and the Prophet-6 will play a pattern based on the individual notes held. Choose a mode (up, down, random, etc.), an octave range (1, 2, or 3), and a tempo, then pair it with an appropriately percussive sound, and you’ll be surprised at the number of creative things you can do.

    Distortion The Prophet-6 provides stereo analog distortion. This can be used to add warmth, harmonic complexity, and an aggressive edge to sounds. The character of the distortion is affected by the harmonic content of a program. Sounds with more high-end will sound different than sounds with fewer harmonics.

    Preset switch toggles “live panel” mode on and off. In live panel preset mode the Prophet-6 ignores the currently active preset and reverts to the current front-panel settings of its knobs and switches.

  • Page 63: Aftertouch

    Aftertouch Aftertouch is a performance feature that allows you to add modulation to a sound by applying additional pressure to a key after the key is already down. The greater the pressure applied, the more modulation is applied. The Prophet-6 provides monophonic (or “channel”) aftertouch, which means that applying pressure to any key within a chord will apply modu- lation to all notes currently held.
