ARTURIA – PROPHET V - MANUAL
56
Prophet VS
Le PROPHET VS is made up of:
• 4 oscillators (« OSCILLATORS A, B, C et D») using wave table synthesis
• 1 mixer and sound envelope for automation movements of the joystick for the volume of
the four oscillators
• 1 multimode resonant filter
• 1 amplifier
• 5 point envelopes dedicated to modulations of the filter and amplitude
• LFO (low frequency oscillator)
• 1 modulation matrix
• Effects section for chorus and delays
5.2.1 Oscillators
There are four oscillators.
The oscillator allows you to control the frequency (the tuning) and the basic timbres of the
Prophet VS. The difference between the VS and the Prophet 5 is that the oscillators of the VS
use sample wave forms from diverse sources: acoustic instruments, voice, and assorted sound
effects. These wave forms give you access to a sound palette much greater than that of most
analog synthesizers.
To choose a wave-form, click on the button found on the title bar of the oscillator (the graphics
of the wave-form being used appear to the right) then slide the mouse up or down to view the
various wave-forms.
FREQ : tuning knob by semitones on two octaves
FINE : tuning knob for fine tuning (one about a semitone)
