ARTURIA – PROPHET V - MANUAL

5 The Modules
The Prophet V is composed of three parts: the Prophet 5 interface, the Prophet VS, and a
combination of the two called Hybrid.
The Prophet 5 uses a classic subtractive synthesis structure while the Prophet VS employs a less
used synthesis technique called wave-table or vector synthesis. These two types of synthesis
meet in the Prophet V, giving you the chance to create sounds that are both rich and original.
5.1 PROPHET 5
The Prophet 5 interface takes on all of the parameters and characteristics of the original
synthesizer. The interface is so much like the original that only playing functions in monophonic
mode (LEGATO) and the sustain of a note (HOLD) were added. You will even find a preset bank
which offers the 40 factory presets of the original machine (these cannot be deleted).
Prophet 5
The PROPHET 5 consists of:
• 2 oscillators (“OSCILLATORS A and B”) in which the second can equally be used
as a source of modulation
• 1 mixer for the volume of the 2 oscillators and the white noise module
• 1 low pass resonant filter 24dB/oct
• 1 amplifier
• 2 envelopes dedicated to filter modulations and amplitude
