Dave Smith Sequential Circuits Prophet X

[dougt]

The SSI2144 is an updated and improved re-issue of the SSM2044, which many believe to be the best-sounding filter IC ever produced.

"SSM chips were at the core of Rev One and Two Prophet 5’s," stated Dan Parks, President of Sound Semiconductor. "So it feels great to be back in a Prophet our the new SSI2144.”

Umm nope that would be the SSM2040 a very different chip.

[numan7]

so has anyone here tried or obtained one of these yet?

how intuitive does the sample manipulation interface layout feel (assuming you have alreaady tried those features out)? how smoothly can you morph or xfade between samples?


cheers

I was surpised to see the were out. Really, nobody has a new DSI toy to tempt us with?

I'm still waiting for the module.

I don't believe Dave for a second that it wont happen.

Here is some unboxing (industrial) noise. Together with gloves, a knife, and some red wine

Btw: The "drums" start at about 1:10 minutes

I think that was probably the most amazing unboxing video I've ever seen! It was like Prophet X: The Murder Machine - The Movie! Great soundtrack too!

Well done!

A gearslutz user has made a list of the Prophet VS Samples in the Prophet X:

Hello everyone. I used the Prophet X SoundTower program to extract the Program Bank and Category names in order to create myself a list that is sorted by Category.

I did this with the Prophet-6 about a year ago and was pleasantly surprised this time around that the Prophet X editor includes the ability to export a text list of program names, numbers, and categories. The Prophet-6 editor doesn't include this functionality, making it a bit more difficult to extract the information, so this added feature is pretty nifty.

Here's the link to the category sorted Prophet X text file. Note: Any misspellings were not corrected. For example, Etnics isn't a word.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/s6yw6sbr8ta30 ... t.txt?dl=1

If you are curious, here are the steps I performed on a Windows PC to make this happen:

• File > Prophet X Bank Manager / Librarian
• File > Program Bank Names
• Select the following checkboxes: Include Numbers and Include categorys
• Click [All Factory Banks]
• Click [Copy to clipboard]
• Lastly, I pasted into a text editor (UltraEdit) and did some fancy column editing and sorting.

Now if I could only extract a DSI Prophet X shot glass out of the editor I'd be set!!

P.S. Here's a link to the P6 one that I created a while back: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z6ddspqahby0r ... t.txt?dl=1

Thank you so much for the list! This is really helpful

Thanks for sharing this. I'm half way through and already sorely tempted. Ha, but I'm still holding off to see if a desktop unit will come out.

I have more gear lust for this than anything else before.

What do you think are the chances of Super Plate coming over to the other synths ?

Interesting question. DSI is planning to port sequencer beat sync across its line, I suppose it could come down to the capacity for expansion of the FX DSP.

or a Pro-X

4 voices, just 1 sample instrument per voice + 1 oscillator and Pro-2 connectivity

I´d be a happy man

Interesting thought. But if something like this gets ever released, i bet it would be only without the 8dio library ...

Here is my take on programming a Prophet VS sound (with gloves and with audio rate modulation )

The demos in the Sonic State video go from, meh to holy shit that's amazing. This thing has incredible potential. I wish I could justify it, but unless I sold off some gear I really can't make room for it. Probably the most interested I've ever been in a DSI synth, though.

[dubonaire]

weinglas that's awesome.

I recently got a Rev2 and I'm blown away. I've even rescinded my aversion to the Curtis filter. It actually just needs finesse and then it is pad perfection.

The Prophet X looks amazing. I'm almost thinking of selling my modular.

[h4ndcrafted]

Currently reading through the Quantum manual. If that synth works well, I got to be honest , given that the sonic review didn’t seem that impressed by the sample side , not many layers etc, and suggested they were better thought of as a base to manipulate, the Quantum seems like a hell of a lot more synth for your money. Although in the Quantum manual, it is quick to point out that it shouldn’t be seen as a replacement for multi sample instruments etc where as the X seems better at filling that role too.

The X seems more of an instrument, I’d worry that the Quantum would feel more like a software synth forced into a keyboard, there are a ton of menus etc.

Different synths I know, but they’re in the same price bracket.

The Osc are so deep on the Quantum though, so many options, it is Impressive on paper, at least.

Charlie Clouser likes both, just feels each has its role
