Sequential Prophet XL 76-Key 8-Voice Analog Synthesizer

Bi-Timbral, 8-Voice Analog Synthesizer

The Sequential Prophet XL is the latest in the Prophet range of synthesizers, made famous originally by Dave Smith Instruments. The Prophet XL features a bi-timbral, 8-voice stereo (16-voice mono) design, fusing the characteristics of classic analog synths with modern-day innovation. At the heart of the Prophet XL is a new sound engine, providing infinite ways to create and sculpt high-fidelity stereo samples.

New Sound Engine The brand new sound engine acts as the heart of the Prophet XL synthesizer, powering two simultaneous 16-bit/48kHz sample-based instruments, as well as dual high-resolution digital oscillators with waveshape modulation. These instruments and oscillators can be further sculpted and manipulated using the stereo analog filters. This gives you unprecedented control over your sound design capabilities, giving you all the tools you need to create any sound/tone your heart desires.

150GB Sample Library

Sequential are renowned for premium-grade sound design capabilities, especially for their wide sound palette and rich, textured sounds. The Prophet XL boasts a 150-GB sample library, with each sound created by critically acclaimed sound developers 8Dio. The sample library spans every genre and instrument you can think of, ranging from acoustic and electronic instruments to ambient and cinematic effects. You can further shape the samples and sounds through sample stretching, loop manipulation, 4 envelope generators, 4 LFOs, deep modulation matrix and a wide range of other tools.

50GB Internal Storage

In addition to the comprehensive sample library, the Prophet XL also provides you with 50GB of internal storage for storing additional samples. This allows you to incorporate your own sounds for added versatility. Support for user-created sample content is expected to be ready for December, 2018.

76-Note,Semi-Weighted Keybed

The comprehensive control section is accompanied by the five octave, 76-note, semi-weighted Fatar keybed, featuring velocity-sensitive keys with channel aftertouch. The keybed provides fluid playability, highly suitable for pianists and keyboard players, emulating a grand piano keybed for exceptional realism. The synth also includes three OLED displays which provide information on your samples, parameters, sounds, effects and more. The synthesizer is ideal for a range of applications from live and studio keyboardists to music production, as well as sound designers for film, TV, gaming and more. The Prophet XL also features a built-in power supply and USB support as well as touchstrips accompanied by the main pitch and modulation wheels.
