Hi,
 
For a while now I've been on the lookout for a Prophet 5 emulator.
The reason for this is that I'm after a sound which I believe to be a factory preset on the original Prophet 5 synth called 'Detuned Brass'. This particular synth tone is used on a personal favourite track of mine by OMD.
 
I've tried a few free VSTs that claim to emulate the P5 but none of them come with a sound like the one I'm looking for - I guess the makers of these things try to recreate the synth properties rather than to completely copy to whole set-up of the original synth.
 
Is there anyone out there that is aware of (or has) this preset on a VSTi?
For reference, the sound I'm after is the first synth that appears on the track 'The Romance of the Telescope' - I'm sure this can be found on YouTube.
 
Thanks!
 

you can download a demo of v collection, see if it has the exact sound you want... not sure if the NI one has it also, but well they don't make it now.
 
have you also got muz3um for rapture / z3ta etc ?
you might find something there you like (thats  free)


 

Thanks Fog,
Will check out muz3um - I like free stuff - I'd rather mic-up and sample my bicycle than pay for a new VSTi...
I can reach speeds in excess of 60mph on Sabre Dance.

I went through the brass presets on the Arturia Prophet V2 and there is no exact match. However I think that the patch SP_P5 Brass 2 with a bit of tweaking could get you very close (Detune Osc2, a bit less filter envelope amount and some adjustments to the cutoff and resonance)
