Members The Pro Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 ...of all the useless f*ckin' Prophet threads... this is one of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bruto Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hey, great attention getter. 10 or 12 threads for the Prophet '08? ... well that's ok. It should be one of the best synths ever (take note SonicState!) And since this is a speculative thread anyway, I'm wondering why Dave Smith made the Prophet 08 announcement after Summer NAMM? I mean if Rhodes can announce their products a year before release... ( of course Rhodes may have been targeting investors and distributors as much as measuring public reaction.) I may be jumping to conclusions here, but my guess is that Dave Smith knows something we don't, like someone else is getting ready to release an analog polyphonic. Moog's hinted at it several times and I know the buyer surveys have clearly stated a desire for a new Moog poly. Japan has been rather quiet on the topic, but they can't be blind to the obvious trend. Is there a Roland Jupiter 10 in the works, a Korg PolyEight, or a Juno 2106?

Members Yoozer Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 Arturia's got the Origin up its sleeve - which has an option to get a Prophet V in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bruto Posted August 24, 2007 Members Share Posted August 24, 2007 i heard a rumour that yamaha are planning a cs-80'08. and it's going to cost less than $1,000. And stay in tune... Seriously, Yamaha would be my last guess for Japan. Roland seems the most obvious, but Korg has been on a roll lately. Still, if Dave Smith is worried about anyone, it's likely Moog.

Members mate_stubb Posted August 24, 2007 Members Share Posted August 24, 2007 Err - Ion is not analog. And it breaks. And they can't ship it. Not a competitor for the Prophet at all IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dave Bryce Posted August 24, 2007 Members Share Posted August 24, 2007 since this is a speculative thread anyway, I'm wondering why Dave Smith made the Prophet 08 announcement after Summer NAMM? Summer NAMM isn't really a keyboard show, and Dave doesn't attend it. I may be jumping to conclusions here May be? my guess is that Dave Smith knows something we don't, like someone else is getting ready to release an analog polyphonic. Much simpler explanation...based on the constant stream of requests Dave got to build a new analog polysynth, he figured if he made one people would buy it. dB DSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khazul Posted August 24, 2007 Members Share Posted August 24, 2007 Arturia's got the Origin up its sleeve - which has an option to get a Prophet V in there. Erm thats basically a bunch of rehashed softsynths. Dont think DSI or anyone else making analog poly will have to worry to much about that for people who are after a proper analog for whatever reason.

Members Mook Posted August 24, 2007 Members Share Posted August 24, 2007 The Thomann price is spot on then to a DIY import - which is what DV did when the original Evolver was released. Looks like a one-finger-salute to Turdkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vwizz Posted August 24, 2007 Members Share Posted August 24, 2007 Yeah, basically they are the online shop of MESI. I am a bit surprised because usually the MESI prices are not really cheap.Still I bought my MEK through them as they are the French importer.Their shop is funny: it was a kind of old garage/workshop full with parts of vintage synths everywhere ;-)They produce the Eowave effects and the Persephone too. Nice looking machine but I didn't really liked it when I tried it... V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks for the clarification. Never thought it could be that simple. Can you answer one more question for us Dave: How did DSI get the use of name Prophet? Didn't that go to Yamaha, or from Yamaha to Korg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
