Dave Smith Prophet '08 Shipping

Dave Smith Instruments has announced that their Prophet '08 Synthesizer Module is now shipping.

Designed to parrot the sounds of its predecessors, we’re told that the Prophet '08 adds in a handful of new features. It has an expanded modulation matrix and more modulation sources: three envelopes and four LFOs per voice.

It’s also packed with a gated 16×4 step sequencer, an arpeggiator, split or stacked key modes with separate stereo outputs per layer and rack ears.

Still more features:

The only affordable, full-featured polysynth with a 100% analog signal path
Classic, real analog sound—including legendary Curtis analog low-pass filters—married to a modern feature set
Small footprint, huge sound
Tons of knobs for direct, real-time editing and performance
Used as an expander, increases polyphony of another Prophet '08 to 16 voices
