Inspired by the classic Sequential Prophet-5 poly synthesizer, the Dave Smith Instruments Prophet-6 keyboard analogue synth improves on the original design with innovations such as studio-quality effects, a polyphonic step sequencer and an arpeggiator that can be synched to an external MIDI clock. This six-voice synth retains many of the best features of the iconic model, including true voltage-controlled oscillators, filters and amplifiers, and combines them with modern innovations to produce a state-of-the-art synth that delivers pure analogue tone.
The Prophet-6 features a full-sized, semi-weighted, four-octave keyboard with velocity and aftertouch for exceptional playability. The intuitive knobs on the front panel provide easy access to functions, and backlit pitch and mod wheels ensure visibility in low-light environments. The synth comes with 500 factory programs, and you can add 500 more programs that you create. Ideal for traveling musicians, the Prophet-6 offers a portable design that doesn''t sacrifice functionality or power.
