MSP $2,799. I'm looking forward to checking this out - but the price seems a bit odd - only $200 cheaper than the Prophet 12 and $700 more than the Prophet '08 - both of which have a 5 octave keyboard.

But this one has the little script "SEQUENTIAL" on the back so everyone knows you spent almost $3k on a keyboard.offaxisdaddy wrote:MSP $2,799.

If for example you had just purchased the Prophet 12 and then saw this, would you feel like you've made a mistake?
**cough** My friend has one being delivered tomorrow from Germany via DV247 and wonders whether he has made a mistake **cough**.
My friend would like to know what the differences are and I could then share your opinions with him when I see him next

I think it's too early to tell, Sentient.Minority... I always liked the idea of the Prophet 8 and 12, but thought the sound was not really appealing... Not sure if it was the oscs or the filters... But the Pro-2 seemed to sound better to my ears... So, if it is closer in sound to the Pro-2 than the 8/12, I think it's more interesting... But costwise out of my reach in any case!

I have an Analog Four for monosynth duties so I want as many notes of polophony as I can get.eusti wrote:I think it's too early to tell, Sentient.Minority...

I did test it extensively and loved it!

I know what you mean. I haven't wanted a new synth more than this in *years*. Those sound examples are amazing.
Wish I had a few thousand bucks lying around.

This sounds amazing!
I really like my Mopho X4, the sound character is similar, but several of those examples go well beyond what the Mopho is capable of.
*sigh*

Honestly I never had a clue that the 'Sequential" brand was owned by Yamaha in the past. Did they ever do anything out of it ??

When I bought a Prophet-600 back in 1993 I got to talk to the guy from Wine Country (that sells and services old Prophets). He said that Dave Smith and his team worked at Yamaha only briefly then went to Korg where the technology they worked on became the Korg Wavestation. No wonder I wanted one so bad!JoshuaPhilgarlic wrote:Honestly I never had a clue that the 'Sequential" brand was owned by Yamaha in the past. Did they ever do anything out of it ??

Ah, yes, I forgot that Dave Smith went to Korg for the Wavestation after Sequential passed away, and Korg was bought by Yamaha when they went bankrupt. Korg is healthy and independent again, as well as Sequential. So, maybe, we should praise Yamaha for helping those developers to survive !Some Desperate Glory wrote:

DSI's stuff uses either digitally controlled analog oscillators (P08) or fully digital oscillators (P12.) In either case I doubt anyone would be able to tell the difference between the two with or without the slop parameter turned on. With this in mind If I was to have that much money to spend I'd get the P12. Much of the bad press about the P12's sound is from the analog purists who are only hearing the patches made with the wavetables which make it sound more like The VS or PPG.

I used to own a Wavestation EX. I had no idea that Dave Smith was behind that!Some Desperate Glory wrote:

I really liked it and I regretted selling it. Really awesome sounds (Deep Forest anyone?) - but I never programmed my own sounds on it.
Sometimes I want to be back on the roads again. And buy these kind of synths.

In 1987 Yamaha bought Sequential and Dave Smith and his team developed the SY22. In 1988 Yamaha bought 51% of Korg shares and part of Daves team went there and developed the Wavestation.Some Desperate Glory wrote:

Korg later bought that shares back from Yamaha
