Arturia Prophet V version 2
Arturia Prophet V is a soft synths combined replica, visually and sonically, of the Prophet-5 and Prophet VS, the FIRST and the LAST synthesizers created by Sequential Circuits. Using the PROPHET V will be second nature for the connoisseurs. And if you are new to these synths, the only thing you will miss by not having the hardware versions is the workout from transporting them to the studio. Finally, since the PROPHET V is designed with Arturia’s TAE® technology, you can be sure you will not give up sound quality.

Arturia Prophet V version 2 offers major new features and improvements:
- A revolutionary preset navigation system called SoundMap
- New Syncrosoft copy protection
- MIDI RPN “pitch bend range” message is now recognized
- Ability to use NRPN midi messages for automation
- Fresh batch of presets made by a selection of top sound designers
- Presets now respond to modulation wheel
- Double click on joystick resets to center position
- Lower CPU utilization on Mac OSX
- Better Audio Unit compatibility (Digital Performer most notably)
- Better handling of control surfaces while changing preset
- Better mouse response of Audio Unit version
- Windows 7/Snow Leopard officially supported
- Vista/Windows 7 compatibility no longer requires UAC deactivation
- and numerous bug fixes

Arturia Prophet 5 Interface
The virtual emulation offered in the Prophet V is an exact replica of the original instrument and uses the same subtractive synthesis model. Subtractive synthesis refers to the filtering of sounds in a specific way in order to create harmonically rich waveforms and new timbres. Our reproduction of Subtractive synthesis with TAE® guarantees the sound quality of the instrument.
The Prophet V carries all of the original parameters, and the 40 original presets of the Prophet 5. The potentiometers or switches associated to these 54 parameters will permit you to create an infinite variety of sounds that were native to the original synthesizer.
Arturia Prophet 5 features:
- Compatibility with the presets of the original synthesizer
- 2 analogue oscillators (TAE® technology)
- 1 white noise module
- 1 low pass resonance filter
- 2 ADSR envelopes
- 1 LFO
- Poly Mod section (which allows you to apply FM on oscillator A and on the filter)
Arturia Prophet VS Interface
The Prophet VS uses wave table or vector oscillators. In this type of synthesis, the oscillator waveforms are digitally stored in a table which the user can freely select, depending on the texture of the sound that is required. With the VS you can recreate that classic 80’s wave table synthesis sound within your computer.
There are 96 digitally sampled waveform types at your fingertips. Use up to 4 oscillators simultaneously and mix them in real time by sweeping the joystick or the 5 point envelope. The Prophet VS brings you a unique sound that has the strength to stand on its own, but at the same time is complementary to that of the Prophet 5.
Arturia Prophet VS features:
Compatibility with the presets of the original synthesizer
- 4 digital oscillators
- 1 4-point mixer with joystick
- 1 multi mode filter (LP, HP, BP, Notch)
- 1 panaoramic module
- 2 LFO
- 3 5-point envelopes
- 1 Modulation matrix
Arturia Prophet Hybrid Interface
In Hybrid mode we believe we have brought something extra special. One of the things that are so great about having a new synthesizer is the unexpected things that you can discover with it, those delightful moments in musical creation when you stumble upon a sound that you weren’t looking for. Hybrid mode provides a combination of the Prophet 5 and Prophet VS stacked one on top of the other. Thus an entirely new sound palette to mix and blend will be at your disposal: the analogue subtractive synthesizer in the Prophet 5 AND the digital wave-table or vector synthesizer of the Prophet VS.
Made up of all the parameters of the two instruments and more:
- 1 audio connection matrix: The audio matrix allows you to activate or to deactivate the audio module outputs of the two synthesizers (oscillators, filters, sound of the Prophet 5…). You can connect the filters in a series for a unique mix of the two synthesizers or you can connect the filters in parallel for a fatter sound. This gives you a huge difference of sound between the two solutions.
- 1 modulation matrix switch for the two synthesizers: The modulation matrix of the Prophet Hybrid allows you to add modulation inputs impossible to add with the PROPHET 5 alone. The velocity, after touch, or the numerous other modulation sources presented on the VS that can now be used on the PROPHET 5.
