NAMM 2006Arturia announces Prophet V

Arturia has announced Prophet V, a hybrid of two synthesizers that changed the face of music during the '70s and '80s - the warmth of the Prophet 5, one of the first programmable polyphonic analog synths, meets the digital textures of the Prophet VS in this new plug-in.

The Prophet V allows you to mix digital sounds with analog. Play the Prophet 5 and the Prophet VS either simultaneously or separate. Deepen and round the sounds designing a sound palette unique to your style of creation, or stick with the sounds you have come to know and love.

Thanks to TAE, the technology that brought you soft-synths like the Minimoog V and the ARP2600V, Arturia claim you won't be able to tell the difference between the Prophet V and the originals.
