Dangerous. Thunderous. Unstable. Fat. Warm. Textural. The legendary Prophet 5 is known by all these descriptions, and that’s one of the main reasons it’s an icon in the analog synth world.
Prophetic Dreams is sourced from this classic American synth, famous for utterly gorgeous pads, basses, synth brass, plucky arps, leads, and even some warm electric pianos. It’s a mono synth, but when you double-track it and pan each layer apart, you get some of the biggest, widest textures you can imagine; these sounds are the foundation of Prophetic Dreams.
The goal with the analog synths in the Legacy Series was to capture all their imperfections, instability, and unpredictability. These are the hallmarks of analog, and they are responsible for the warm, lush sounds we all love so much in these timeless instruments. These sounds are alive.
As one of the largest collection in the Legacy Series, Prophetic Dreams meticulously captures over 50 new source sounds (many double-tracked for true stereo) - all through British mic preamps for the ultimate reproduction of these sounds.
Multiple round robins and velocity layers were captured where necessary, so they behave like proper analog synths - not as static, lifeless samples. All the random instability you’d expect from an analog synth is there, and the resulting sounds are incredibly organic and musical.
Finally, most sounds are dynamically controllable via mod wheel for expressive filter sweeps, LFO control, or other applicable parameters.
