The module has all of the same controls as the keyboard version and provides the same immediacy and ease of use — with absolutely no menu diving. As with the Prophet-6 Keyboard, all parameters are at your fingertips, with full-sized knobs and switches and a comfortable, intuitive layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow does it sound? Awesome — just like the keyboard, because on the inside, it’s exactly the same. The same analog signal path with discrete VCOs and VCFs. The same high-quality digital effects. The same classic sound that has been earning raves from customers and reviewers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ve also added a poly chain feature so that any two Prophet-6s can be paired for twelve-voice polyphony!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage with a Modern Twist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the Prophet-6 desktop module and keyboard are Dave Smith’s tribute to the poly synth that started it all—the Sequential Prophet-5. But it’s not simply a reissue of a classic. Rather, as Dave puts it, “It’s the result of our effort to build the most awesome-sounding, modern analog poly synth possible.” The Prophet-6 takes the best qualities of the original Prophet-5—true voltage-controlled oscillators, filters, and amplifiers—and adds enhancements such as studio-quality effects, a polyphonic step sequencer, an arpeggiator, and more. The result is pure, unadulterated analog tone with the stability and reliability of a state-of-the-art modern synth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClassic Tone, Classic Vibe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCentral to the warm, punchy sound of the Prophet-6 are its two newly-designed, discrete voltage-controlled oscillators (plus sub-oscillator) per voice. Continuously variable waveshapes provide the tonal palette with triangle, sawtooth, and variable-width pulse waves. There are two discrete filters per voice—a four-pole, resonant, low-pass inspired by the original Prophet-5 filter, and a two-pole, resonant, high-pass filter. Voltage-controlled amplifiers complete the all-analog signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDual Effects\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual effects section provides studio-quality reverbs, delays (standard and BBD), chorus and phase shifter. While the effects themselves are digital, with 24-bit, 48 kHz resolution, a true bypass maintains a full analog signal path. There’s also an independent stereo distortion effect, which is 100% analog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePoly Mod and Poly Step Sequencing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso present from its classic predecessor is a Poly Mod section, with enhancements. True to the original, modulation sources are filter envelope and oscillator 2 (both with bi-polar control). Destinations include oscillator 1 frequency, oscillator 1 shape, oscillator 1 pulse width, low-pass filter cutoff, and high-pass filter cutoff. Another welcome reprise is Unison mode, which features configurable voice count (1-6 voices) and key modes. The polyphonic step sequencer allows up to 64 steps and up to 6 notes per step. You can create sequences polyphonically, with rests, and sync to an external MIDI clock. The full-featured arpeggiator can be synced to external MIDI clock as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy to Program\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe knob-per-function front panel offers instant access to virtually all Prophet-6 functions. Included are 500 permanent factory programs and 500 rewritable user programs. Toggling off the Preset button enables live panel mode, in which the sound of the Prophet-6 switches to the current settings of its knobs and switches. In this state, what you see is what you hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy to Play\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of this awe-inspiring sound is packed into a desktop module that’s small enough to fit in a backpack.

Filter 3 is a classic 2-pole, state-variable design based on the OB-6 filter that can be continuously varied between low-pass, notch, and high-pass operation, with an optional band-pass mode. An additional Drive control provides still more punch when you really want to get down and dirty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExpressive Sequencing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePossibly the Pro 3 SE’s most powerful performance tool is its sequencer.

It also syncs to MIDI clock and external audio input, and inputs\/outputs control voltages.

Control voltages can be assigned and routed from within the modulation matrix and can run at audio rates for extreme modulation effects.

You can now combine the various OB voice architectures in ways that produce unique and interesting new sounds and capabilities.” \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOriginally founded by Tom Oberheim in 1969, Oberheim Electronics created ground-breaking products that fueled the electronic music revolution throughout the 1970’s and early 1980’s. After ceasing operations in 1985, these instruments attained near-mythical status, with highly prized vintage models selling for many times their original price on the secondhand market. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSince that time, Tom Oberheim had created a handful of limited-production instruments and co-designs with various partners under other names. But in a recent significant development, he regained control of the Oberheim trademarks and IP, and now, in partnership with Focusrite PLC, has decided to once again introduce new products under the Oberheim brand name for first time in more than 35 years. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“I’ve always had a very optimistic outlook on our industry and the future in general. I felt that one day, when the time was right, Oberheim would return. A big part of this was the fact that so many musicians have contacted me over the years to ask how to get hold of an original Oberheim. So when I finally reacquired the Oberheim name, it was clear that the time was finally here,” said Oberheim. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe catalog of artists associated with the original products is long, and includes innovators like Prince, Van Halen, and Herbie Hancock. For many, it was much more than just an instrument. A handful of A-list artists such as Trent Reznor, creative force behind Nine Inch Nails, and Golden Globe, Academy Award, and Primetime Emmy-winning composer got pre-release previews. “When I was shown the new OB-X8, I was immediately impressed with the forensic level of detail that went into its design and the respect for its lineage,” remarked Trent. I will be making room in my studio for one and I’m excited more people will be able to experience this classic instrument.” \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCreating a new company out of thin air was no small feat. “I’m excited to work with my old friend and audio industry innovator Marcus Ryle, along with some other members of the original Oberheim team again,” said Tom. “And thanks to an exclusive partnership with Focusrite group company Sequential LLC, we have the ability to design, manufacture, distribute, and support new instruments on a global scale.” \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor Marcus Ryle, one of the inventors behind the ADAT, the QuadraSynth, and Line 6 guitar amps and effects, this represents closure of sorts: “Synths were my first love and the reason I entered this industry. Tom hired me when I was 19, and I feel lucky to have been a part of the Oberheim design team during its glory days. Now, a whole new chapter in the story of analog synthesizer-based music is about to get written.” \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDave Smith, founder of Sequential and himself a legendary figure in synth history, also collaborated with Marcus (an Oberheim team member from the 1980s) and Tom to create the new product. “We’ve already developed other interesting design ideas with Tom for follow-up products that will allow us to take Oberheim into the future as a synth brand,” commented Smith. “It’s a very exciting time to be a musician.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sequential","offers":[{"title":"New | In Stock","offer_id":46184559575323,"sku":"OB-3600","price":4999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pre-Owned | In Stock","offer_id":47562005119259,"sku":"OB-3600EBAYPRO","price":4499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pre-Owned - Version: Pre-owned | On Order","offer_id":48714103619867,"sku":"OB-3600DAMAGED","price":4188.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/9049\/3723\/files\/ob-x8_top_copy.jpg?v=1692043872"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.altomusic.com\/collections\/sequential-circuits.oembed","provider":"Alto Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
