really? :shock:
Are you sure it's not the keyboard mag of April 1st???
If it's true it would be a very good new, it would mean Arturia
didn't completely forget vintage emulations :roll:

So, happy new year 2006 to every people, and could the vintage force
be with us.

Why would they forget them, the Tae technology needs exploring further :wink:

it's because since many months, arturia seem much idle on their vintage
emulations. Seems because they focus much on brass.

i got my january issue of keyboard mag, and there is an add for Arturia's Prophet V :-)

if you buy any music mags like keyboard or maybe sound on sound? maybe the ad is already out. who knows.

looks cool btw. hehe.

Yes - I received the same mag - full page ad for Arturia's prophet-v (page 47) but I can't find anything about it here. There is no release date or "coming soon" in the ad. It appears to be both "The Analog Prophet 5" and "The Digital Prophet VS." Looks AWESOME.

A prophet V + a Prophet VS in one

very interesting, but I would call it a polyevolver-V :lol:
hope Dave Smith won't be scared :twisted:

So, now, people from Arturia, as everyone on this planet
could knows about Prophet-V, it would be good to announce
officialy the content and the release date of this new vintage VST. :wink:

I guess the Arturians will expose it at the Namm first. Then, we'll be knowing more :wink: Right after releasing brass, here comes another new great challenge for Arturia !

Hi guys
Just a question: looking around there are many instruments emulating both the P-5 and the P-VS:

NordLead
Evolver
Pro53
VectorSector
Prophet Plus
Prophet Creamware.

I believe that the ProphetV can be the best among them but the main questions are:

Was there the need for another Prophet emulation?
Is the Prophet such this miracle synth compared with a CS80, a Synthex or a Matrix?

I don't have any purpose for a rant, just curious to read your opinions!

poropat · « **Reply #39 on:** January 04, 2006, 12:58:39 am »

Personally, I'm not disappointed but a bit surprised about this new
emulation.
Surprised because now if we wish a prophet 5+prophet VS
the best way is to buy a polyevolver, because it's not modeling,
it's with the real analog filters of prophet 5, and the wave shapes of
the VS. Dave Smith said with polyevolver, sound of prophet 5 no problem,
sound of VS, not 100%, but could be near.
Of course to get 8 voice, need A polyevolver Keyboard+a rack, and
it's not cheap.

So I think it's the first prophet 5/VS emulation with TAE, I think it'll be
interesting, but if it's me I choose, I feel a synthex emulation would
have been more proper. At the same time because it really has a great personality and because it's much more difficult to find a synthex than a prophet 5 or VS on second hand market.
(no I don't sell my synthex

).
For matrix, they seem have a problem with Gibson & Viscount who
against because of Oberheim name. Too bad, an emulation which would
be the fusion of an OBXa and a matrix 12 would be amazing,
they are rare synthesizers too. :roll:

Hey, you have a nice collection by now, got a Synthex too? I love that sound, especially the chorused pad ( no laser harps please, I hate sync though! ).
I would have been happy and probably even Mr.Maggi himself could have supported it , anyway I could have been happy with a PolySEM or OBX emulation ( harder to find than OBXa or OB8s ) if those stupid managers at Gibson-Discount would have released the rights of the brand...

poropat · « **Reply #41 on:** January 04, 2006, 09:31:59 am »

Yes, in my collection my most mythic machines are
CS80 (recently), synthex, jupiter 8, Prophet VS rack, matrix12,
matrix 1000, solina, VP330 roland.
Il like the chorus of synthex too, and it's a machine with
few curtis inside, so, easy to repair.
Hope a day we could see Mario Maggi again, for a new analog synth
or to endorse the Synthex-V, if a day arturia decide to produce. :wink:

omissis · « **Reply #42 on:** January 04, 2006, 09:46:10 am »

Wow!
Surely Mario would be happy to sponsor a virtual Synthex, and royalties can contribute to his new project ( a new analog polysynth which is at the prototype stage by now )
Just a thing: can you compare my VP choir like patch for CS80V with that of the original VP330? I know it lacks the 3dimensional chorus but anyway an opinion is welcome! If you want reply me through mail :wink: !

poropat · « **Reply #43 on:** January 04, 2006, 11:20:47 am »

ok, i'll try it, and I'll send an MP3 to you.
About Mario Maggi, are there any site where we could know
about his actual work?

omissis · « **Reply #44 on:** January 04, 2006, 12:32:51 pm »

Actually not , there aren't sites regarding the work of Mario Maggi , he is a very private and shy person ! Anyway I think that Enrico Cosimi ( a famous musical journalist here in Italy ) can give you anecdotes about him.

Look for this forum
http://www.freeforumzone.com/viewForum.aspx?f=34044

It is his magazine's online forum and although it's italian speaking, questions in english are always welcome

Look also for
