Arturia Prophet VS - Synthesizer

Prophet VS V by Arturia builds on the original hardware’s 4-oscillator design with improved waveform navigation and real-time displays. With over 450 waveforms, from acoustic plucks to wavetable basses, and the ability to import custom waveforms, it offers extensive sound design possibilities. Its advanced modulation features make it a versatile tool for creating complex and unique digital timbres.

Prophet-VS V

Exploratory Vector Synthesizer

Prophet-VS V captures the crisp digital precision and stirring sci-fi sound of an instrument that pioneered vector synthesis. Pick your waveforms, perfect your sound, and explore multiple digital dimensions simultaneously with an enhanced softsynth workflow.

A prophecy retold

The Razor-Sharp Precision and Overtone-Rich Sound of Digital; the Silky Warmth and Edgy Crunch of Analog; the Flexibility and Expressive Creativity of Software Instruments; Why Choose One when You Can Have All Three?

Prophet-VS V faithfully unites the crisp sound of digital oscillators with the grainy character of analog filters and VCAs, just like its legendary hardware predecessor. This is vector synthesis brought to life in software form, letting you move between hot and cold, rough and smooth, analog and digital - a hybrid relic reborn for effortless modern production.

4-dimensional sound

Go beyond crossfading and blending waveforms with Prophet-VS V’s authentic joystick oscillator section. Assign any of the 450+ waveforms to its 4 oscillators, and seamlessly modulate and navigate the near-limitless space between them for a breathtaking sonic spectrum.

Unashamedly digital

Prophet-VS V channels the crystalline clarity, rich harmonic depth, and icy layered timbres that early digital synths were known for, then runs it through emulated Curtis analog filters and amps for an abrasive hybrid sound, overflowing with aliasing imperfections; perfect for hyperpop, trap, EDM, and ambient sound design.

Automate, modulate

Simple yet advanced

While the original Prophet VS’ digital architecture afforded it plenty of flexibility, we figured a little more wouldn’t hurt. Take its sound further with tasteful enhancements to original features like the mixer envelope, plus extra modulation and built-in effects - without over-complicating your flow.

The future was digital

At the start of the ‘80s, analog was dominating. But the introduction and gradual widespread adoption of microprocessing foreshadowed a massive change that would shape not just keyboards and synths of the future, but the very music they were designed to make.

Legendary synth designer Dave Smith and his team at Sequential Circuits had been early advocates of microprocessor technology, putting them to use in the Prophet-5 to program and store presets. By the mid-80s, single-cycle waveforms were becoming the go-to for low-memory sound generation. Smith envisioned a way in which this technology could be used to create detailed sound combinations, and in 1986, this vision became a reality with the Prophet VS.

Easy as A,
B, C, and D

Arturia rebuilt Prophet-VS V as a standalone instrument - now you can get hands-on with its redesigned main panel, retaining the key features and layout while streamlining it for your DAW workflow.

Oscillator Group

The 4-oscillator design now features easy waveform navigation and real-time displays. Choose from over 450 waveforms, from acoustic plucks to wavetable basses, or even import your own to create unique digital timbres.

Waveform Mix

Wield Prophet-VS V's joystick controller to seamlessly traverse the vast sonic territory between your 4 oscillators across each axis, unlocking an unprecedented range of evolving, expressive sounds and tonal textures

Filter

Give your digital waveforms the real analog treatment with Prophet-VS V's emulated Curtis 3379 filter brought to life with our proprietary TAE© technology ensuring that every note delivers the authentic bark and bite you need.

Envelope Group

Prophet-VS V offers a 5-stage envelope with customizable points and looping, plus a DADSR and multi-stage envelope generator. The Mix Envelope modulates waveform combinations for dynamic movement.

LF0 Group

Dual classic 6-shape LFOs that can be assigned to multiple parameters in Prophet-VS V's modulation matrix. Try routing them to the Waveform Mix for impossible joystick movements and wildly evolving sounds to match

Voice control

Customize, glide, and unison to add variety and richness to your polyphonic patch ideas, plus harness full control over the panning and stereo spread of each voice - ensuring that Prophet-VS V's sound is as wide and immersive as you need

Random

A Prophet-VS emulation wouldn't be complete without the signature Random feature. Instantly randomize any patch, but with the added control of which parameters you alter, and how much randomization you introduce Controlled chaos

Chorus

Another secret analog weapon in digital clothing, we modeled the original hardware's BBD chorus circuit to provide that rich stereo swirl that's so synonymous with digital synths of the80s and'90s. Perfect for piano, string, and bass sounds

Arpeggiator

If you're not a keys player, this simple 6-pattern arpeggiator gives you all the melodic movement you need at the touch of a button. Transform any note or chord into a dynamic musical component that fits into your production.

Voice dispersion

To really squeeze the most realistic performance out of Prophet-VS V's analog components, we implemented our Voice Dispersion technology, designed to replicate the subtle imperfections and inconsistencies produced by analog circuitry - in this case, aimed at the filter panning, and VCA parameters
