6.3 Complements to Wavetable Synthesis
Wave table synthesis functions on the same principles as subtractive synthesis. The difference
resides in the type of oscillators used: the Prophet VS using sonic samples saved and stocked in
memory, and the older synthesizers using generators of the saw tooth, sine, and square waved
form. These samples of the VS were saved from different acoustic (instruments, voice) or
electronic (noise, atonal sounds, basic wave forms) sources and allow you to enrich the sonic
pallet offered in the Prophet 5 while remaining complementary.
6.4 Modules of Prophet V
The essential elements of the Prophet V consist of:
• 6 oscillators (two for the Prophet 5 and four for the Prophet VS)
• 1 noise module
• 1 mixer (mixing the 4 oscillators and the noise module to the filters of the
Prophet 5 and VS)
• 2 filters (one low-pass for the Prophet 5 and one multimode for the Prophet VS)
• 2 output amplifiers (VCA)
• 4 envelopes (two for the Prophet 5 and two for the Prophet VS)
• 3 LFO (one for the Prophet 5 and two fro the Prophet VS)
• Modulation Matrix (Prophet VS)
