Well you turned all the right knobs, it seems 
excellent work.

I love this synth. Iām absolutely over the top in love with it.
I bought a used unit and noticed it was missing a knob cap, so I emailed sequential late last night. They sent me a knob cap this morning! Best customer service ever!!

anyone knows it is possible to apply vintage knob AND some osc detune on the P6?
it seems to be one or the other.
also if i am not mistaken on the P5 rev4 you can apply both at the same time. does that mean that the vintage knob is not actually applying detune to the osc?
iām not sure on this actuallyā¦ iāll have to take a look!
also anyone have the Inhalt Artist Bank? iāve heard great things, and the demo sounds good, just wondering if anyone here owns it and has any thoughts
speaking of the Prophet 6, i just wrote an entire album on it, and released it just now. itās a ācompanionā album to my upcoming full length to be released later this winter/early spring 2021. this is all Prophet 6 (and lots of the vintage knob), with a small digitakt appearance.
this is a soundtrack to a film that doesnāt exist, a tribute to 70s Italian horror films and the soundtracks that made them what they are.

thereās a vintage control and a fine tune control for osc B. thereās no other āslopā or ādetuneā control.
I donāt think itās possible on the P6 or OB6 to use both ādetuneā and āvintageā controls at once. other than using āfine tuneā for osc B directly, as on the P5 rev4.
Anybody have both the Prophet 6 and the Pro 3?
Iām curious about how similar the Prophet 6 VCOās are to the Pro 3 and also the OTA filter?
Feel free to just answer the above question if you donāt want to read my thoughts behind it below.
After having the Pro 3 (really awesome synth) for some time now Iām realizing that Iām mostly using it for Whispy Brassy type leads and pads. Im feeling like the Prophet 6 might be a more useful synth for me in that regard.
As for the wavetables, sequencer, and crazy modulation, I tend to make that type of stuff in the DAW with software instruments/fx. Itās also more backing type accents so it doesnāt need to have ridiculous analog detail and nuances.
So while the sequencer and crazy modulation matrix are really awesome, Iām not going to use them a ton. Iāve use the sequencer for one sound in one track. Itās really cool but not essential for me to have that much depth available.
Iām getting a Subsequent 37 to try for a lead/bass synth. Iām a big fan of the Moog sound and also the look. Love my Matriarch but Iām also wanting the edgier version of the Moog sound. Hopefully a larger sweet spot too (trading for versatility of course).
Iām also realizing my newer want for synths that just inspire me quickly. Pro 3 is probably the ābest mono availableā but it takes me a lot of fine tuning to get it there. When I do itās second to none. As I get older I donāt have as much desire (or time) to sit and tinker. I just want to write music now. How many monos is too many 
. Joking of course, thatās for me to decide.
If the 37 stays Iāll be less inclined to have the Pro 3 and I could see more use from the Prophet 6. I just donāt want to lose that really nice brassy sound that cuts through the mix so nicely with the Pro 3. The polyphony of the 6 could be very useful in expanding the use of those sounds.
Original question stands. How similar are the Oscillators (VCOās) and Filter between the two?
Bonus questions:
How are the envelope shapes on the 6? No mod matrix means no recursive shaping?
How is the Keybed (Pro 3 feels really really good)?
I bought an LFE for mod matrix years back for my prophet 6. It does wonders. It ended up costing me 800US back then.
ThƩ keybed on the prophet 6 is great. Feels good all around and you can use it to play your favorite synths.

Yeah I would guess thatās still a possibility. Thanks for reminding me of that
More points for the Prophet 6!
Edit: scratch that idea:
Now Iād have to design my own

Not selling mine brother because it works for my Moog voyager and prophet 10 too. I bought in early

I would never have asked you to do that 
Iām guessing theyāll go for quite a bit if you do ever see one. Itās not a difficult concept, but itās still a huge undertaking for a personal project. Nice case for it too.

I got the DSI/Pioneer AS-1 to replace my subsequent 37 for Bass. Then I got a second AS-1 for any mono P~6 melodies I wanted to play while using the P~6. Also, the price of an AS-1 is 1/5th the price of a Subsequent 37 in my woods.
If you are already using a DAW, the soundtower interface for the AS-1 is excellent imo. And there is a free version that is standalone/DAWless.
While the AS-1 is a mono P~6 sounding identical, Iām not hands-on enough with the Pro3 to compare.

Thanks for that info. I think I remember seeing somewhere that the AS-1 was basically 1/6 of a prophet 6. I had forgotten that though.
The interface is definitely important for me in this case. I do plenty in the DAW but I want my hardware synths knobby and to have keybeds attached. I like a self contained instrument these days. The feel and interface is more important than ever for me now.
It seems to me that the Oscillators should be close to identical between the Pro 3 and Prophet 6. The filter Iām not sure about.
In any case, Iāll probably have to try the Prophet 6 to be sure.
If I donāt gel with the Subsequent 37 then thIs whole little synth rotation dance will change anyway. Iām just trying to do a little fine tuning of my setup as my new musical direction has been taking form.
Iāll research the filter designs some more. Thanks for all your input
Itās so personal to everyone on what works for them. I canāt imagine asking other people what synth is best for me.

I know Iām just being silly. But yes make one for yourself if you can. Itās like you are Goro from mortal kombat when using it

Now I have to do it! 
Does it also make your synth sound just like the synth from the mortal kombat movie theme song!? Where they scream Mortal Kombat, and then the not cheesy at all synth part comes in!?
If so then Iāll make 10 for myself!
All jokes aside Iām sure I could come up with something similar if I really need it.

Noooo! Such a bummer Yorick Tech stopped making the LFEs! Totally understandable tho. Iāve been playing my P6 (desktop) A LOT lately and was just thinking I have to look into the LFE cos I also might want to add an OB-6 at some pointā¦
I can say I love the P6 BUT I still keep looking at the Prophet 5 too. Thereās absolutely no denying the mojo of the P5 but for once Iāll probably stay with the P6 cos it just makes more sense to me with the onboard fx, arp and all. The reverbs are a bit so-so IMO but thatās not a huge deal to me.
I am wondering, what is the difference between the Yorick LFE, and the midi LFOās you get on something like that the Digitakt?
The case I guess.
LFE is not that I retesting when you have some solid MIDI sequencer with plocks and LFOs, at least that was my understanding.
If only you could save your midi config, though.

I love this. Beautiful music, inspiring!

Yeah, I remember reading about the LFE a couple years ago and thinking, for the same price, it seems like you could do something similar, and get a whole DT or DN attached as well.
