  USED FOR A CUSTOMER DEMO. AS NEW IN ORIGINAL BOX. FULL MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. SN 1675   The Prophet 12 is one of Dave Smith’s crowning achievements. More than just a combination of the Prophet ’08 and Poly Evolver, the Prophet 12 is an expansive, flexible evolution of both with tons of additional features and a total of 12 voices. Combining the efficiency of a digital front end with an all-analog signal path, each voice features 4 oscillators (for a total of 48 oscillators), a sub-oscillator, resonant analog filters (a low-pass Curtis filter and a high-pass filter), and analog VCAs. Additionally, each voice contains a digital Character section that offers five high-quality effects designed to drastically or subtly manipulate each signal. There are also syncable four-tap delays (per voice), 4 LFOs, and an arpeggiator that can be clocked either internally or externally. Sonically, the Prophet 12’s oscillators can be cross-modulated with the utmost digital precision, making the synthesizer quite adept at amplitude and frequency modulation. Combined with the control section, this offers a wealth of possibilities for those willing to venture into uncharted sonic expressiveness. In terms of user control, the Prophet 12 is unmatched in its expediency and ease-of-use. Every knob corresponds directly to a function with absolutely no menu diving. All parameters can be immediately accessed and altered via the front panel. The keyboard section features a 61-key, semi weighted board spanning five octaves, complete with velocity and aftertouch. In addition to the traditional pitch bend and modulation wheels, the Prophet 12 contains two programmable touch sliders that offer even more tactile control over one’s performance. Features Oscillators Five DSP-based oscillators per voice (including one sine wave sub oscillator) Four classic wave shapes (saw, square, triangle, sine) per oscillator Twelve selectable complex shapes per oscillator Three noise types per oscillator: white, pink, violet Shape modulation Oscillator cross modulation: frequency modulation (FM) and amplitude modulation (AM) Hard sync on each of the four oscillators Character Effects Five high-quality digital effects. Thicken the signal and add harmonics or completely destroy the signal pre-filter. Girth and Air are high and low shelf equalizers with harmonic excitement. Useful for thickening and/or adding air to the signal. Hack and Decimate are sample and bit rate reduction algorithms which can add subtle grit or completely destroy the signal. It's harsh yet musical! Drive is a soft saturator for adding soft distortion and harmonic content to the signal Filters Famed Curtis 2- or 4-pole resonant analog low-pass filter (self oscillates in 4-pole mode) per voice 2-pole resonant analog high-pass filter per voice Feedback and Delay Tuned feedback Four-tap syncable multi delay with feedback and amount per delay per voice Envelopes Four Delay + ADSR envelopes (LPF, VCA , and two Auxiliary envelopes) Auxiliary envelopes 3 and 4 freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations LPF and Auxiliary envelopes can repeat/loop. LFO Four syncable LFO's with phase offset and slew per LFO Modulation 16 x 2 modulation matrix with over 100 mod destinations Modulation assignment buttons enable quick and easy modulation routing Arpeggiator Sophisticated programmable arpeggiator with up, down, up+down, random, assign modes Re-latching arpeggiator Programmable Distortion Independent programmable stereo analog distortion per layer. Controls More than 50 knobs and 50 buttons enable deep and comprehensive editing with little to no menu diving. Backlit pitch and mod wheels are easily visible in low light situations and have a smooth yet precise feel and response. Independently adjustable upper and lower pitch wheel range. Two assignable position- and pressure-sensitive latchable touch sliders for enhanced interactivity and control. Full-sized, 5-Octave, semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch Memory 396 user and 396 factory programs Direct program access using numeric keypad and dedicated User, Factory, and Bank buttons Playlist mode for generating easily accessible setlists of your favorite programs.
