General

This Prophet 6 module is nearly identical to the analogue synthesizer released previously, but without the actual keyboard. Other than that, its analogue signal path is identical, as well as most other features. The big difference is that Dave Smith designed this P6 module specifically for tabletop use, as is apparent from its rather compact dimensions. All that's missing from this version compared to the keyboard version, are the typical keyboard controls such as pitch bend and modulation wheels, and a transpose feature.

Practical and intuitive interface

Dave Smith feels that the user interface is an important part of the synth's look and feel, and they've done everything in their power to perfect it. For instance, it has full-sized controls, and everything is laid out in such a way that it should feel at once familiar, practical and intuitive. All the various parameters are under your fingertips at all times. What's more, it features the same analogue signal path with discreet VCOs and VCFs as the keyboard version, as well as the same high-quality digital effects. Of course, you'll also find the MIDI in, out and thru connectors that bridge the gap between vintage and modern. Finally, DSI decided to add a poly chain feature, allowing you to link two Prophets together to bump the overall polyphony up from 6 voices, to 12 voices!

The story of Dave Smith, Sequential, Yamaha and Roland

Finally, after its last appearance in 1987, Sequential Circuits is back, this time without 'Circuits'. Decades ago, while under Dave Smith's leadership, this brand set the tone; the old Prophet S5 released in 1978 was one of the very first polyphonic synthesizers with patch memory. Later, Dave went on to produce contemporary analogue synthesizers under his own name, Dave Smith Instruments, and still does. Recently, Yamaha - who owned the old Sequential Circuits brand name since 1987 - gave the name back to Dave Smith on recommendation by Roland's CEO. You don't see this kind of generosity very often in the fiercely competitive music industry, and the Prophet 6 is the tangible result of this happy incident.

Sequential Prophet 6 (module) Sequential Prophet 6 desktop module

Wrote the following about Sequential Prophet 6 (module) Sequential Prophet 6 desktop module
Tegen deze B-stock aangelopen, waarvan de prijs onder de 2K lag. Daardoor verwachtte ik eigenlijk dat er iets mis zou zijn met deze unit - zichtbare krassen, klemmende knopjes of een loszittende draaiknop.
Ik mocht 'm uitgebreid testen in de winkel in Goes, van tevoren gereserveerd, toen ik aankwam stond hij keurig opgesteld en good-to-go. En... hij was in perfecte staat. Alles compleet. Nice!
Pluspunt voor Bax: Peter van de toetsen-afdeling had de firmware voor me bijgewerkt naar de laatste versie, waardoor de P6 polyfone aftertouch kan meepakken. En een poly-AT controller aangesloten om uit te proberen. Toffe service.
Het uurtje testen was puur genieten, van de veelzijdige maar altijd down-to-earth analoge sound van de P6. Van alle moderne Prophets (afgezien van de huidige P5/P10) komt de P6 het dichtst bij die van de oude Prophet 5, het raakte mij direct. Maar de P6 heeft tegenover de mono P5 een aantal erg praktische extra toeters en bellen, zonder z'n karakter te verliezen: stereo-spread van de voices, en een bak on-board stereo effecten. En zonder menu-diving. Een 2e unit aansluiten (poly-chaining) voor 12 voices zie ik als volledig overbodige luxe... het ding klinkt vet genoeg in z'n eentje, zeker in een band-setting.
Tot slot: de P6-module Decksaver is aan te raden met al die potmeters.

Gewoon doen! Hoppa in dat winkelmandje, je spaargeld zakt op het moment toch iedere dag in waarde. Dit soort instrumenten over het algemeen niet. Natuurlijk kan dit in de box met een VST, maar deze box is zoveel leuker. Goede Prophet sound, schittert van eenvoud. De highpass filter die de P5 niet heeft, is heerlijk in een dawless setup waarbij je door de HP ruimte kan maken voor je kicks of bassline uit een andere synth.
De unit wordt ook lekker warm bij gebruik dus in de winter geen koude vingers.
