Sequential Prophet 10

I always dreamt about a Prophet 5. But buying a vintage one is very expensive and moreover a jump into the dark ( since old synths are always a big question mark ). When Dave Smith made the rev 4, i started thinking about it more and more, until i had my decision. I bought the Prophet 10 for my birthday and .... WOW. I could talk for several hours about it. Nothing else sound so lush, fat, warm, nasty..and i own several important analog and digital synths. So, what can i say more? Despite of its simplicity, it is always a surprise how fast you can program superb sounds that make you stamp a big smile on your face. Thanks Dave Smith, Thanks Thomann. I am absolutely enthusiast about this synth

I am not going into depth reviewing this synth however I can say this much:
I like analog synths so this one has been on my list for years and I was not disappointed when I received the Prophet 10. Its a straight forward good sounding analog polysynth with its well known prophet sounds. If you want a real prober synth this one is the one to go for. The only thing I noted is that its got only mono output. Its no big deal however its something sequential should implement me thinks. Also it dosnt have effects but thats a plus to me. No nonsens, just a great synth. Instead find the effects externally you like and add them to this great sounding synth. Its easy these days to find good reverbs, echo´s etc etc.

I paused before clicking 'confirm' as this is the most I have ever spent on a music instrument. I grew up desiring these fine instruments and wondered would I really truly notice a difference in the overall quality and standard? Well, yes I did. The Prophet 10 sits alongside some of my other synths such as a Jupter 4, Juno 106 and an OB6. It glues effortlessly between them. Downside? Well I start playing it and lose track of time when I have intentions to write or record new tracks. Some reviews criticise the mono output however I have had no concerns with this. In fact it sits well when an effects device like a Strymon Big Sky is added to widen the soundstage. Wow.
