Picture this: a modern evolution of the classic Prophet '08, where Sequential took an analog legend and cranked up the polyphony, modulation, and effects without losing that warm, punchy soul.
At its core, it packs two digitally controlled analog oscillators per voice—offering sawtooth, triangle, saw/triangle mix, and pulse waves with pulse-width modulation, plus a sub-octave on osc 1 and hard sync for thick tones. A resonant Curtis low-pass filter (2- or 4-pole) per voice handles the filtering, backed by analog VCAs, three envelope generators, and four key-syncable LFOs that run at audio rates for wild timbres. The 8-slot mod matrix with 22 sources and 53 destinations lets you route waveshape modulation across all waveforms, while bi-timbral layering or splitting gives two independent 4-voice sounds. Hands-on editing shines with 52 knobs, 20 buttons, a crisp OLED display, spring-loaded pitch/mod wheels, and a 61-note semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch. Poly step sequencer (up to 64 steps, 6 notes each), programmable arpeggiator, and per-layer effects like BBD delay, reverb, distortion, chorus, phaser, and ring mod round it out, all in a road-ready wood-sided chassis with stereo outs, headphone jack, pedal/CV inputs, and internal power supply.
Players love its immediate, menu-free workflow and how it nails everything from fat basses to evolving pads, with the community praising its compatibility with '08 patches—now supercharged. Sure, some wish for more voices out of the box, but at 20.5 lbs and this size, it's a gigging dream that delivers huge in a compact package.
