The Prophet-6 is Dave Smith’s vision of the quintessential analog synthesizer. As a descendent of the legendary Prophet-5, it combines classic tone with a modern design, delivering rich, warm, and expressive sounds in a balanced, contemporary instrument. Trusted by top musicians and studios for nearly a decade, the Prophet-6 has proven itself as today’s analog standard.
Prophet-6 is a perfect fusion of discrete analog design and advanced digital control. This capable instrument offers deep synthesis functionality along with vintage warmth, enabling you to quickly create complex sounds using its flexible modulations and detailed effects. Whether crafting powerful bass lines or ethereal pads, the Prophet-6 delivers balanced tone for any musical style.
With its six powerful voices and intuitive controls, the Prophet-6 offers unparalleled tone and playability, a culmination of 50 years of engineering expertise. Immerse yourself in the harmony, balance and depth of sounds that have captivated top musicians and studio professionals around the world.
The Prophet-6, boasts two discrete VCOs (and a sub-oscillator) per voice, delivering a warm, punchy sound with a versatile tonal palette. Its continuously variable waveshapes, from triangle through sawtooth to pulse, represent the next evolutionary step of our classic oscillator design, unlocking a wider range of expressive timbres.
The Prophet-6’s dual filter design features two discrete filters per voice: a four-pole, resonant low-pass inspired by the original Prophet-5, and a two-pole, resonant high-pass. This balanced approach offers true timbral control from both ends of the spectrum. From full, rich bass to clean and clear poly pads, Prophet-6 has you covered.
