Dave Smith Unleashes Prophet-6
In a tribute to one of his greatest creations, the Sequential Prophet-5, Dave Smith has once again rocked the synthesizer world with the Prophet-6. With the true voltage-controlled oscillators, filters and amplifiers of the Prophet-5 combined with studio-quality effects and sequencer, the Prophet-6 has amazing analog tone with modern features. If you're ready to demo the Prophet-6, stop into the shop and try this amazing synth on for size.
