Prophet 5 V

Faithful analog archetype

Prophet-5 V is the definitive production keyboard faithfully remade in software form, equal parts soulful, characterful, and enormous in its sound, complete with its signature approachable layout, tastefully upgraded to fit seamlessly into your DAW workflow.

Prophecy Fulfilled

An enduring chart-topper, a production staple for over five decades, and a fully-equipped synth that’s easy enough for beginners to master; it sounds too good to be true.

With state-of-the-art analog modeling technology, Prophet-5 V puts the power of a keyboard icon - the treasured Rev 2 - at your disposal, from the unique Poly-Mod feature to realistic Voice Dispersion, letting you unlock the full potential of every project in true analog style.

A Music-Making Essential

There’s a reason so many award-winning albums feature a Prophet-5. Its massive versatility, luxurious analog warmth, and straightforward layout produce winning results every time, whatever synth sound you’re after, with sweet spots galore. What’s not to love?

Pro Sounds In No Time

No more hours spent finding the most luscious pad or the gnarliest bass. Just like its hardware predecessor, Prophet-5 V is as approachable as synths come, giving you the quickest route to the soul-stirring, floor-shaking, mind-bending sounds you need for soul, hip hop, R&B, and beyond.

Unmatched Analog

Your tracks deserve the real deal, and sometimes only the high-voltage grit and organic heat of authentic analog will do. Prophet-5 V’s engine has been meticulously modeled and re-engineered with TAE® technology, component by component.

Enhanced For Modern Production

Prophet-5 V goes a step further than the original without ever losing the magic that put it on the map. Enhanced with modern creative features, FX, and presets, this vintage synth is remade with contemporary production in mind.

The Polysynth Pioneer

An original tech startup success story, the Prophet-5 set the template for polyphonic analog synths for decades to come.

Before founding Sequential Circuits in 1974 now-legendary instrument designer Dave Smith had spent a number of years building sequencers and programmers for synthesizers at his San Jose home. At that time, synthesizers were unpredictable beasts requiring careful tweaking and patching to create sounds.

When Smith began working with the novel technology of microprocessors, he saw an opportunity; could a synthesizer store settings for users to quickly recall their favorite sounds? When no one else stepped up to the mark, Smith and Sequential took it upon themselves to make it happen: in 1977, the Prophet-5 was born.

Preset Library

For when you need quick & inspiring sounds in a hurry, Prophet-5 V comes packed with a library of expertly-designed presets for any style. Search, select, and savor the results!

Hands-On Analog

Whether it’s a shimmering lead patch or a sumptuous R&B pad, most producers turn straight to the Prophet-5 because it always gets the job done - now you can too.

The silky-smooth chords and melodies that soundtracked some of neo-soul’s most iconic anthems. The delicate piano-like chords that breathe organic life into any track. The brassy pads that heralded the arrival of hip hop liberators.

Not only can Prophet-5 V execute all this and more - it does it effortlessly. You don’t need to understand synthesis or be a seasoned keyboard player. Just fire it up, explore its intuitive controls, and enjoy the simplest form of effective, usable sound design that’ll have you hooked.

Everything In Its Right Place

Bold and brash, the Prophet sound was versatile but never one to be upstaged. From hard sync to the signature Poly-Mod section, Prophet-5 V has it all and then some - dive in and discover it for yourself.

This is more than a vintage keyboard turned softsynth. To ensure that Prophet-5 V is up to speed with the DAW workflow that you need, Arturia have expanded its functionality. Enjoy more flexibility, more sound shaping, and more expression - you won’t be disappointed.

Modulation View

Prophet-5 V excels at creating quick and dramatic modulation in a few clicks. But for when you want to go a few steps further, Arturia have added an extra LFO and a Function Generator, letting you craft custom modulations with the DAW-friendly flexibility you need.

Keyboard View

Like the original, this is very much a player’s synth. That’s why the Advanced panel features a selection of controls that let you customize Prophet-5 V’s response to keyboard and note input. This kitted-out section allows you to program Velocity, Aftertouch, Keyboard Tracking, and Modwheel information to affect up to 3 destinations - putting full expressive control at your fingertips.
