GForce has officially launched the Prophet~5 plugin, a faithful software emulation developed in collaboration with Sequential. This plugin reproduces the original Prophet~5’s architecture, encompassing its oscillators, filters, and classic factory presets, ensuring authenticity for users. The plugin is set to offer various features, including support for different hardware revisions like Rev1, Rev2, and Rev3, and a comprehensive set of effects such as Chorus, Phaser, and Reverb. Released at an introductory price of £69.99, this offer is available until the end of July, after which the price will rise to £99.99.
GForce has released the official Prophet~5 plugin developed with Sequential, presented as a software reproduction of the original analogue polysynth that recreates the instrument’s basic architecture including oscillators and filters while preserving classic factory presets; the launch package explicitly includes 38 factory patches and is being offered at an introductory price of £69.99 until the end of July, after which the price will increase to £99.99.
The plugin is described as delivering original hardware functionality and the characteristic tonal elements associated with the Prophet~5. The product positioning emphasizes emulation of the original instrument rather than being a new synthesizer design.
The plugin supports multiple original hardware revisions, including Rev1, Rev2 and Rev3, and models both the SSM warmth and the Curtis filter characteristics attributed to those revisions. Its voice architecture permits layered configurations and performance modes, offering Layer, Split and Alternate modes alongside the capacity for up to 10 voices per layer.
The design includes X‑Modifiers for extended modulation and per‑layer voice management to enable complex timbral results without altering the core emulation.
The Prophet~5 plugin provides configurable FX slots and an effects set that lists Chorus, Phaser, Filter, Distortion, Tremolo, Compressor, Delay, Reverb and Pan Spread. It also includes modern performance and workflow features such as MPE support and MIDI CC mapping for controller assignment. A patch browser with tagging and search functions is part of the interface, which is noted as resizable to accommodate different screen sizes and workflows.
The Prophet~5 plugin includes 38 factory patches presented as classic factory presets drawn from the instrument’s original character. These factory presets are offered as part of GForce’s software reproduction of the original hardware and are described as preserving the classic sounds of the Prophet~5. The launch package explicitly includes these factory patches.
The presets sit alongside the plugin’s modeled oscillators and filters and coexist with features that model different hardware revisions such as Rev1, Rev2 and Rev3. The article describes the presets as “classic factory presets” that accompany the emulation rather than as newly created soundbanks. No additional detail about individual patch names or categorization is provided in the source.
The plugin provides a patch browser with tagging and search functions to access the factory presets, and the interface is resizable to suit different screen sizes. The software also includes modern performance and workflow features such as MPE support and MIDI CC mapping, which are noted separately from the preset content. Information on authorship of individual patches or a breakdown by sound type is not included in the provided source material.
The Prophet~5 plugin features a resizable interface aimed at accommodating different screen sizes and workflows, and it includes a patch browser that offers tagging and search functions for navigating presets. The interface’s resizability is presented alongside modern workflow tools rather than as an isolated visual option. The patch browser is described as providing tagging and search capabilities to access factory and user patches. The software includes MIDI CC mapping across parameters to support controller assignment and MPE support for polyphonic expressive input.
The article presents these user-interface elements as part of the plugin’s performance and workflow feature set, separate from its core emulation of oscillators and filters. Tagging and search in the patch browser are noted as means to manage the included factory presets, while the resizable interface is linked to general usability. MPE and MIDI CC mapping are listed as performance features that coexist with preset management and the plugin’s modeled hardware revisions. The available sources do not provide this information.
