well..luckily with analog lab one can layer (key ranges) whatever with whatever, if one needs that..
You can also do layers in Bitwig, Ableton, and BlueCat's Patchwork. But layering within the plugin is not as cumbersome. I only care about the plugin for the SSM filter and XMod. I'm not sure if I'll sell Repro, though. I used it in a lot of projects.
true..but my point was that analog lab does a thing in between, which is kinda neat. Bit more hassle compared to 1 plugin, less hassle compared to a DAW

I can't find any multicore options either :hihi:
I also didn't think it used that much cpu until i played the preset called "the Instinct" with a few chords playing :o

Interesting, I got a rev 4 here, will see if it's time to sell :D
I've owned the Prophet 10 twice.
Sold only because it's not practical for using live.

Listened to Starsky Carr's comparison with the hardware Rev4.
I do think the Gforce plugin sounds good... but (to my ears) it's not as good sounding as the hardware. The hardware just has a little something more (more 3D or lively sounding).

Sounds very good from the demo videos, looking forward to trying it out.

Agreed. Only took a few seconds to hear it, too. Same as with Repro. Softube seemed closer to the version it’s emulating but is frustratingly lacking in features.

I know at least one kvrer who has a hardware rev4, would be interesting for him to put up some blind abx audios between the two and let those, like Jim (and 'vito' ) who say they hear a difference, tell which is which..

I know for my own ears, though I don't have access to a hardware, I had access to audio from a hardware and I couldn't tell the difference.

(I helped beta test this for the last quite a few months).

Looking back I misread the post talking about multicore - it was just referring to multicore in Repro 5

Sounds really great and the demo presets are nice.

Common GForce nitpicks:
- UI could, as usual, use some work on the clarity side. Fonts are not crisp enough.
- No MTS-ESP, which costs about 20 minutes of developer work per plugin and needs no UI affordance or anything.
- The Vintage knob seems like it goes too high. I kind of just wish there were 4 settings here: off, low (set to about 1.5), medium (set to 4), and high (set to about 8)

No loyalty discount for this one? Not a big fan of the P5 to begin with but I'll check out the demo.

They did email a 10% off code to existing customers this morning, got mine 6:00am. Check the usual places like spam if you didn't get it or contact their support.

Ah, just checked. Yeah, I got one. I figured they would just add the discount when you added it to the cart (didn't they do that before?).

Model 80's cutoff is tuned lower. If you lower the Prophet-5 cutoff in REV 1/2 mode, you can pretty much match the sound. The Prophet-5 can pretty much match the sound of Repro in REV 3 mode, no lowering of the cutoff required.

The Prophet 5 Rev4 has CEM chips.
