Vintage Synth Explorer

Korg • Prophecy

Digital does analog! This hybrid digital synth is one of the coolest new monophonic lead synths!!! Tons of real-time control over traditional analog editing parameters like cutoff, resonance, envelopes and arpeggios. And it's all at your finger tips. It has a pitch wheel, a mod wheel, and a dual action ribbon wheel, 6 effects processors and more! Plus its retro analog sounds are really good too! It is used by The Orb, Jan Hammer, Download, Meat Beat Manifesto, Mirwais, Front Line Assembly, Kobe, Depeche Mode, Orbital, Theatre, Überzone, BT, Union Jack, The Prodigy, the Crystal Method, Eat Static, Apollo 440, Radio Head, Luke Vibert, Stabbing Westward, 808 State, Rick Wakeman, Yes, Joe Zawinul, the Pet Shop Boys and lots more! A great and modern techno/electronic music machine.

A product of hype and fashion, pick up now if cheap as a fun toy but severely limited (Liam Howlett hated his in the end). Crap korg buttons as always and cheap/breakable build. Overated and over priced in 2009.

The only the strongest point of criticism is the adynamic initial attack which can be increased by further external filters or distortion pedals. Effect section reminds on first generation digital rubbish. Concerning handling: there are plenty of possibilities to configure the controlers.

One of its kind really.A mono synth in the mid 90's,only Korg would have visioned that!Fun to play,difficult to program.

I have had mine for over ten years and I'm still learning new things with this thing, that's how deep it is. I don't use the internal sounds as often as I used to, but the synthesis capability is impressive. I use it primarily as a controller for my other gear. The arpeggiator is the cat's meow and the assignable mod wheels and ribbon strip really let you go to town on her. A crucial component to my rig.

As far as depth and complexity go, this is the baddest little monosynth around. IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE...But you better know some synthesis sh1t...It's VERY deep. For electronic music (DnB, techno, etc...) this thing is just untouchable...Mine was stolen and I just haven't had the bread to get another. It hasn't lost any value on the second-hand market...
