Classic polyphonic analog synthesizer
The super-classic Prophet-5 rev. 2, from the late 1970s / early 1980s.
Used by so many famous acts of the late ’70s up until the mid ’80s and beyond (check out for example the famous oscillator sync sound used by “The Cars”).
Super warm sounds, beautiful strings, pads, bass etc. but also incredibly good for special FX, thanks to the strong modulation capabilities on board.
