Dave Smith Instruments Prophet '08 Shipping

Dave Smith Instruments has announced that their Prophet '08 Synthesizer Module is now shipping. As a refresher, it's a knob-twisting tabletop module with the quality sounds and features you'd expect from Dave Smith Instruments.

Capable of parroting the sounds of its predecessors, the Prophet '08 adds in a handful of new features. It has an expanded modulation matrix and more modulation sources: three envelopes and four LFOs per voice.

It's also packed with a gated 16x4 step sequencer, an arpeggiator, split or stacked key modes with separate stereo outputs per layer and rack ears in case you want to mount it in a less profane way than real synthesizer fanatics might.

Still more features:

  • The only affordable, full-featured polysynth with a 100% analog signal path
  • Classic, real analog sound—including legendary Curtis analog low-pass filters—married to a modern feature set
  • Small footprint, huge sound
  • Tons of knobs for direct, real-time editing and performance
  • Used as an expander, increases polyphony of another Prophet '08 to 16 voices
