We've just taken delivery of the new Prophet X from Sequential / Dave Smith Instruments. Its a combination of REV 2 style polysynth combined with a large multi-sampled library from 8DIO stored on a 256GB internal SSD. This is a preview, we will be working on the full review over the next week or two.
If you have any questions, leave them in the comments and we'll try and answer them in the main review.
2 multi-sampled stereo instruments per voice with editable sample start, sample end, loop size, and loop center, loop on/off, sample reverse, sample stretch, bit-rate reduction, and sample rate reduction
150 GB of factory-installed 16-bit, 48 kHz sampled instruments created by 8Dio. An additional 50 GB of samples can be added by purchasing additional sound libraries. User-sample import is planned for December, 2018.
OSCILLATORS
2 digital oscillators per voice with selectable sine, sawtooth, pulse, and supersaw waves. You can vary the shape of any of the waveshapes.
Glide (portamento): separate rates per oscillator; (samples can glide in Sample Stretch mode)
Hard sync
FILTERS
2 x analog 4-pole resonant low-pass filter per voice
Digital high-pass filter in Effects section
ENVELOPES
4 loopable, five-stage (ADSR plus delay) envelope generators: Filter, VCA, and two assignable
SEQUENCER
Polyphonic step sequencer with up to 64 steps (6 notes per step), and ties and rests.
AMPLIFIER ENVELOPE
Four-stage (ADSR) envelope generator
Velocity modulation of envelope amount
LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATORS
4 LFO’s with key sync, phase offset, and slewing per LFO
Five wave shapes: triangle, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, square, and random (sample and hold)
