Product information

General

The return of a legend! That's what the Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 08 PE is being nicknamed, while it is in no way a remake of the vintage Prophet. This 8-voice synth is 100% analogue! This PE (Potentiometer Edition) is exactly the same as the Prophet 08, but with 'vintage-style' pots.

Not only does this 5-octave keyboard have semi-weighted action, velocity, and aftertouch, it's equipped with pitch and modulation as well. Under the bonnet, there is an analogue synth engine and a plethora of goodies, such as two envelope generators, two digital DCOs per voice, the famous Curtis low-pass filter, and analogue VCAs.

Its sound is impeccable thanks to its software, so if you're looking for a studio synthesizer, then the Prophet 08 PE is an excellent choice. Due to shredding leads, warm pads and strings, and deep basses, its sound can be described as rich and thick, yet subtle, and suitable for every style of music, from hiphop to dance to pop.

Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 08 PE synthesizer keyboard

Wrote the following about Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 08 PE synthesizer keyboard
Had m graag 6 sterren gegeven. Dit is de beste synth die ik ooit heb gehad. De sounds is uniek en puur analoog met alle voordelen van een digitaal apparaat (presets etc) Iedere functie heeft een knop, zodat het relatief eenvoudig is om iedere sound te creeeren die je in gedachte hebt. De prophet 08 is het hart van mijn studio en band.
