Two Sequential Circutis Prophet VS in Quadro Mode

Показать описание
The Sequential Prophet VS was the last synthesizer from Sequential Circuits in 1986, before this company became bankrupt and was sold.

Nevertheless the Prophet VS is a very sought after synth and it was used in the 80ies by France Gall, Rush, Whitesnake and Scorpions.

It is an 8 voice hybrid synth with 4 digital oscillators consisting of 98 waveform plus 31 user waveforms. You can merge the Oscillators with a vector stick called waveform mix. The Prophet VS has a curtis low pass analog filter chip, three envelopes, also with panning and a great modulation matrix with two LFO. There is also a chorus effect and a very capable arpeggiator. The Prophet VS came out as keyboard version and quite rare also as a rack version. The Prophet VS is definitely one of my favourite synths, maybe my favourite, so I also have got the rack version just in case my keyboard version brakes down sometime.

In this video I mix these two synths together via Midi. I programmed a lot of double layered sounds on both synths, so I only can play 4 tones at once. Because the synth has 4 Oscillators, you get 8 Osc at once. By merging two of them, you get in Double mode 16 Osc. If you play it in Unison mode, you get 64 Oscillators at once. That`s ultraaa fat!

I didn’t use any FX, only the internal chorus, but no additional processing, no limiter, no equalizer, compresser etc. Just pure, dry and raw. The VS is fat enough.

I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching, see you next time!

Seems like these excel at so many different kinds of sounds. Some of the percussive hits at the start of the sounds are so distinctive. Great video as always

This is fantastic. One of my fav vintage digital synths (my other fav vintage digital is the Synergy). 4:08 ...The best Choir ever IMO.

Sounds amazing, nice work! I've sworn off acquiring more vintage synths in future, but the VS always makes me think twice whenever I listen to it. Hopefully it will be reissued along with the OBX by Sequential in the not too distant future.

I have 2 prophet vs’s. The best pads. Oberheim’s are good too, but they take up a lot of the mix.

Super! Ist das Rack ein Leihgerät, oder hast du dir den tatsächlich noch dazu gekauft?

Ugh. Yes, stacking 2x sounds big. But this demo is proof that one can indeed take one of that era’s most unique and innovative machines, and still make it sound like every other bland 80’s polysynth.

Sorry, but boooriing…!
