Prophet 12
12-Voice Polyphonic Synthesizer Keyboard
The Prophet 12 is a 12-voice polyphonic synthesizer with an advanced digital/analog hybrid voice architecture capable of creating eminently playable, dynamic, and innovative sounds unlike any other synthesizer. More details are coming very soon.
The Prophet 12 is expected to be available Q2 of 2013 with a projected MAP of $2,999.
Specifications
Oscillators
- Five DSP-based oscillators per voice (including one sine wave sub oscillator)
- Four classic wave shapes (saw, square, triangle, sine) per oscillator
- Twelve selectable complex shapes per oscillator
- Three noise types per oscillator: white, pink, violet
- Shape modulation
- Oscillator cross modulation: frequency modulation (FM) and amplitude modulation (AM)
- Hard sync on each of the four oscillators
Character Effects
- Five high-quality digital effects. Thicken the signal and add harmonics or completely destroy the signal pre-filter.
- Girth and Air are high and low shelf equalizers with harmonic excitement. Useful for thickening and/or adding air to the signal.
- Hack and Decimate are sample and bit rate reduction algorithms which can add subtle grit or completely destroy the signal. It's harsh yet musical!
- Drive is a soft saturator for adding soft distortion and harmonic content to the signal
Filters
- Famed Curtis 2- or 4-pole resonant analog low-pass filter (self oscillates in 4-pole mode) per voice
- 2-pole resonant analog high-pass filter per voice
Feedback and Delay
- Tuned feedback
- Four-tap syncable multi delay with feedback and amount per delay per voice
Envelopes
- Four Delay + ADSR envelopes (LPF, VCA , and two Auxiliary envelopes)
- Auxiliary envelopes 3 and 4 freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations
- LPF and Auxiliary envelopes can repeat/loop.
LFO
- Four syncable LFO's with phase offset and slew per LFO
Modulation
- 16 x 2 modulation matrix with over 100 mod destinations
- Modulation assignment buttons enable quick and easy modulation routing
Arpeggiator
