Arturia copies NI's Pro-53

http://www.arturia.com/en/prophetv/prophetv.php

Was there need for this? Anyhow, I hope the unison mode is just as good as Pro-53's and I hope it will support polyphonic mode in unison (which the pro-53 doesnt)...

well it's not just a prophet 5! it's a prophet vs too.. and that's very interesting.. i like this concept of hybrid synthesizers! and actually the pro53 is outdated...

It isn't a copy of NI�s VST. It's a copy of the synthesizer Prophet~5 from the end of the 70-ies.

I bet it will kick ass though, can't wait to fool around with the VS..

Hey. NI makes really really good synths, but in my opinion, they dont hold up against Arturia. Arturia has and will most likely always be the best reproducers of classic analog synths.

Cheers,

These will be bad ass.

I can't wait to play with them, although I'll be very surprised if they sound anything like true analog ...

Quote from Arturias website:
"Polyphony of 2 to 32 voices with the unison possibility"

It seems it will be able to do polyphonic unison, unlike the Pro53. This was a real drawback of that synth.

Polyphonic unison mode on a Prophet model == EVIL!!!!!!
Can't wait to get my hands on one of those!

Looks very interesting as I've always liked Arturia's stuff. Will definately be on the lookout for it!

I know many people are having some kind of grudge towards NI's version, though I have always loved that little synth. For me, it has always had a good sound (perhaps not too solid), and easy to get along with.
