Sophisticated sample engine

The Prophet X sample engine consists of two autonomous, digitally sampled stereo instruments per voice (four in Stack or Split modes). It also boasts 150GB of deep sample content created by 8Dio that includes a versatile selection of gorgeous acoustic and electronic instruments as well as cutting-edge cinematic and ambient effects. The samples can be shaped via loop manipulation, sample stretching, and the Prophet’s modulation functions. Every sample instrument is equipped with a highpass/lowpass filter Tone control. The Prophet X has an additional 50GB of storage onboard for importing external sample libraries (add-on sample packs are available from 8Dio).

Turbocharged Prophet synth engine

Comprising two high-resolution digital oscillators fortified with classic waveshapes and a supersaw, the Prophet X synth engine delivers the awesome power of a classic Prophet with expanded timbral versatility. Grab the Shape Mod control to quickly dial in a waveshape width for any of the classic sawtooth, sine, or pulse waves; then give your patch motion with an LFO or other modulation source. The Prophet X gives you a complete arsenal of classic synthesis functionality, including four syncable LFOs with slew and phase offset, four loopable 5-stage envelope generators, and a 16-slot modulation matrix with dozens of sources and destinations.

Stereo filters for dimension and impact

At the heart of any classic synth is its filter; and the Prophet X doesn’t disappoint with its new, stereo 24dB/octave resonant lowpass filters, which are based on a vintage circuit. For a true stereo signal path, the Prophet X features separate filters for the left and right channels, enhancing both samples and oscillators with fullness, presence, and punch. At this juncture, it’s worth noting that you can switch the Prophet from 8-voice stereo mode to 16-voice mono mode for additional polyphony — eminently useful for splits and stacks.

Two effects per layer

The Prophet X includes a powerful dual effects engine with multiple reverbs, two delays (standard and BBD), chorus, phase shifter, flanger, vintage rotating speaker, highpass filter, and distortion. In split- or stacked-voice mode, you can apply two different effects to each layer. To craft continuously shifting timbres, you can easily modulate effects parameters through the Prophet X’s mod matrix.
