Qualités des patch originaux P5 sur prophet 6?

Describing the genesis of the project, Bowen said, “When Dave first revealed the Prophet-6, I was curious to see if I could recreate the original factory presets I did for the Prophet-5, and asked if he’d like me to try. When I received the synth, I was impressed with the additional functions available. Dave’s enhancement to my original Poly Mod design adds bi-polar control signals and allows for even more flexibility. And having a high-pass filter allows you to create sounds unattainable on the original Prophet-5. I was happy to find that I was able to accurately recreate the bulk of my presets.” Added Bowen: “In fact, it was great to be able to spice up some of them a bit with the new FX section — which I think is an essential feature in today’s market. I congratulate Dave on creating a very impressive synth!”

Moving on, I programmed some brass sounds on each synth. At first, it seemed that the Prophet 5 was more ‘edgy’ than the Prophet 6, but a few moments spent tweaking the filter settings and the levels in the signal path soon sorted this out. With Osc2 adding vibrato via the Poly-Mod section, and the LFO adding the ‘rip’, the results were beautiful. In truth, I could always tell which synth was which — not because the sound was better on one than on the other (whatever that means in this context), but because the Prophet 6 tended to be more consistent from note to note. If you’d ever tried recording using a 37-year-old Rev 1, you’d view this as a good thing!

Next, I set up identical sync sounds on both synths. The only noticeable difference between them was caused by the slightly different shapes of the filter contours sweeping the pitch of Osc1. (The Prophet 6’s contour generator sounds roughly exponential and is a little smoother than the Prophet 5’s, which curtails more abruptly.) Does this matter? Not a bit. It you want to use sync to tear the heads off of the front rows of your audience, the Prophet 6 will do it every bit as nastily as the Prophet 5.

Le Prophet-6 renferme 1 000 programmes, dont 500 presets et 500 mémoires utilisateur, organisés en 10 banques. Les presets ont été réalisés par des pointures, dont John Bowen (Mr Solaris) ; collaborateur Sequential de la grande époque (Prophet-5, Prophet-VS, Prophet-3000), il avait déjà signé une bonne partie des banques d’usine du Prophet-5 ; il a été mis à contribution pour refaire ces mêmes programmes et a d’ailleurs confié que cela marchait bien à 80 %... ainsi, les 40 presets originaux communs aux 3 révisions de Prophet-5 sont présents (banque 9).

mais les presets du P5 peuvent être imités mais ils ne seront jamais parfaitement reproduit.on achète pas un P6 pour faire du P5.

Au prix d'un P6,j'achèterai un P5 rev 3 sans hésiter .le,comportement global du P5 est inimitable.particulierement la rapidité et la pêche de ses enveloppes.ce qui ne veut pas dire que le P6 est un mauvais synthé!mais les presets du P5 peuvent être imités mais ils ne seront jamais parfaitement reproduit.on achète pas un P6 pour faire du P5.
