What it is
Arturia's Prophet VS is a software recreation of Sequential Circuits' legendary Prophet VS, the hardware synth that pioneered vector synthesis in 1986. It combines 4 digital oscillators loaded with over 450 single-cycle waveforms, letting you morph between them in real time using a joystick-style vector interface. Those digital oscillators run through an emulated Curtis 3379 analog filter and VCA, pairing crisp digital wavetable tones with warm analog coloration for lush, evolving hybrid textures.
Who it's for
Producers working in synth-wave, ambient, cinematic, and experimental electronic genres who want distinctive vector-synthesis pads, otherworldly leads, and constantly shifting textures that classic subtractive synths can't easily produce. It also suits sound designers chasing the icy, sci-fi-adjacent tones associated with 1980s digital synths.
Key features
- 4 oscillators with 450+ single-cycle waveforms plus support for user-imported waveforms
- Joystick-based vector synthesis with a Mixer Envelope for hands-free morphing between the four oscillators
- Emulated Curtis 3379 4-pole low-pass ladder filter and VCA for authentic analog coloration on top of the digital oscillators
- Modern workflow additions including a modulation matrix, three function generators, a built-in arpeggiator, and three FX slots with 16 selectable effects
