UTILIZATION
Super intuitive if one has already touched analog synth. Not need the manual (except for 2 3 hidden functions). Everything is accessible ...
Unimaginable opportunities (3 adsr, 4 modulations, 4 LFOs, 4 sequencers, aftertouch) ...
POT version infinitely more playable than the basic version.
SOUNDS
Its very versatile. The prophet is hard to tame at the start of ground to make sweet and scalable. At ease in any type of synthesis, low in fat layers, scalable through noise drones etc ...
OVERALL OPINION
For how long have you been using it?
2 months.
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I have a CS-15 (analog monophonic). I tested a lot of synth (Juno, novation k station & bass, Korg M1, Minimoog, Crumar Multiman) and I was looking for a polyphonic analog synth versatile ...
What thing do you like most/least about it?
most: the possibilities, ergonomics, sound,
minimum: nothing ...
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Fabulous ... For the price of a minimoog, it has a polyphony of 8, 4 modules, 4 sequencers, 4 LFO ... that you ask for ...
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Graaaaaaaaave!
