I own many other poly synths, lot of vintage stuff. The pro12 comes nowhere short.
Plus, you can hook it up to a Pro2 keyboard version and you basically have a remote controller for it.
Great sound, great look and yes another great product from Mr Smith!
Dave Smith noemt dit niet voor niets zijn beste synth ever en de module voegt daar een extra draagbaar en meeneembaar tintje aan toe. Via een sysex programma kan je tevens je klanken opslaan op een windows PC of een Mac. Ik verkies Logic X op Mac omdat dit naadloos samenwerkt met deze module.
Een echte aanrader voor al wie graag de warme klanken van de analoge synths ambieert.
Het is solide gebouwd en goed afgewerkt.
De drukknoppen zijn stevig en de draaikoppen voelen solide aan en wiebelen niet.
Het OLED display is goed leesbaar.
De Prophet 12 module is eenvoudig en snel te programmeren. Volg de (rode) layout die er op is geprint.
De sound is stabiel, helder en vol. Een goede aanvulling naast de Kronos.
Heldere bel sounds, brede pads en vette lead sounds zijn mogelijk en eenvoudig te programmeren.
De 396 factory sounds klinken uitstekend en de 396 user banks zijn voorlopig ruim voldoende.
Natuurlijk zijn ook allerlei aparte sounds en sound-effects mogelijk.
Je kunt hiervoor kiezen uit oscillator wave shapes sawtooth, pulse, triangle, sine. En ook 12 wavetable shapes en red/white/violet noise.
4 oscillators en 1 sub-oscillator per voice is perfect. Een sound met een unison van 12 voices laat alles van de kast trillen ;-)
De arpeggiator is ook eenvoudig te bedienen.
Modulation sources kunnen aan bijna alles worden toegekend voor de meest uiteenlopende effecten.
De grootte is heel fijn. 41,9 cm breed, 17,3 cm diep en slechts 7,2 cm hoog. Overal eenvoudig neer te zetten.
Updaten van het OS en nieuwe sound banks toevoegen is eenvoudig.
Gebruik hiervoor het gratis programma: SysEx Librarian (Mac) of MIDI-OX (Windows).
Heb de Prophet 12 module via USB aan de computer. Logic Pro X werkt er prima mee samen. Gebruik hiervoor de Prophet 12 Module (of Keyboard) PlugSE van SoundTower.
SoundTower heeft ook een stand-alone versie van hun software.
Voorlopig nog niet uitgekeken op deze synth.

Monday 11 January 2016The image below recently turned up on the internet. Based on the text and the accompanying specifications, we assume that Casio is trying to lure us to their NAMM booth so they can present their latest keyboard/synthesizer: the MZ-X. This will likely remind keyboard enthusiasts of the MZ-2000, an old Casio model that, considering the words 'Reinvented, Reimagined, Reborn' is apparently about to be brought back to life. Rumour has it that two models will be released, the MZ-500 and the MZ-1000, but take that with a grain of salt; it's very possible that MZ-X is indeed the final name for this workstation.

Tuesday 12 January 2016Late last year, Electro Harmonix introduced the Crash Pad Analog Drum Synth, and at NAMM 2016 they'll be unleashing the Super Space Drum. Where the Crash Pad creates electronic cymbal sounds, the Space Drum generates a typically '80s drum sound - electronic yet warm and full of character. It can be used as either a standalone unit, or in combination with a looper or clock generator, for instance.
