Repro-1 (out now)

[Urs]

Yeah, it is a bit of money, but can't you write it off on your tax return, as work related equipment?

There's the problem... my tax guys insist that I must not buy "those antiques" for the company. Hence I buy all those vintage synths from my private money. So I pay extra taxes on income that's already 47% taxed.

On a positive note, my collection has nearly doubled in value since I started.

Be that as it may, I really don't want to spend any money on a Prophet 5. I might sell off Pro Ones and some others once we get *something* done, and that may end up making room for a Prophet. But seriously, the Prophet 6 is such a great instrument, I can't imagine any software Prophet 5 to sound remotely as good.

[Synthetic Wav]

It does indeed look fabulous!

Note - there's a guy on the VintageSynth forums who has a Pro-One, serial number *0001* for sale...

the price pro one sales wow.. when i think the second hand price was around 100 euros 20 years ago

[Elektronisch]

If only it was pro5 emulation

Lend me 2-3 freshly serviced Prophet 5s for a few weeks and I'll add it to Diva

Unfortunately the Pro-One has a very different architecture, being all analogue and stuff. Without a Prophet 5 around I can't really model it. I furthermore seem to hallucinate about second hand prices for Pro5s, I haven't come across one that's priced appropriately - especially for Rev2s which has ICs that the world has run out of. It breaks, it's dead. The fake chips offered on ebay don't look like they'd sound the same

Would help you out! fortunetly dont have that one

Wouldn't a standalone P5 synth be better? DIVA is already packed with modules. I was hoping NI would do a Pro54 to follow up Monark but it looks unlikely.

I personaly would prefer modules in Diva with diferent "skins", kind of like Presswerk has

[TimeActor]

As a long time and early user/player of the original ProOne i would say that filtertype 3 or 5 are more similar to the original than the other ones. I prefer Filter 5.
I cannot say which filtertype is more analogish but in compare i want say filtertype 5 - it is the most accurate to my ears.
Can´t wait to get my hands on this wonderful peace of software!

[nevernamed]

All the more reason to model a rev2 no? Before they all die off they could be immortalized in Diva.

Sorry, I'm not paying 8000+ € on a synth that's eventually gonna die on me for good, and I probably need two or three of them.

I'd much rather model the Synthex for Diva.

So Urs are you saying you might model the Synthex under the Diva framework? Would you do the whole synth (oscillators, filers, envelopes etc) or just the filter kind of like what you guys did with the obx? It's exciting since that's a lovely bit of kit and would be a welcome addition to Diva.

Afaik P5 and P6 filters are similar in sound. Also I think if you ask on GS there might be couple of P5 owners willing to lend you P5.
Btw, is there any eta for *something done*?

I was toying with the idea of Synthex dual DCO and filter for Diva. Maybe do the modest thing and add the filter as extra modes to the cascade filter module, to save resources and all. We'd also add the auto glide to make up an auxiliary pitch envelope. It would make Diva capable of pretty much any sound a Synthex is famous for.

(there are a few other improvements we ave in mind for Diva, but those aren't set in stone yet either)

Maybe some crazy "one-click-over-the-top"-vintage mode/effect like Phonec 2?

That's the actual problem... I don't want to spend the rest of my life emulating gear. It has been an exciting road with the Pro-One, but even this projects seems to drag on forever. My gut feeling tells me I can cope with a maximum of one more, and that'll most certainly be of feline heritage.

In other words, as much as I love playing a Prophet, it would drain more energy than I have if I had to do the same thing again.

Or you might just be in serious need of a long and well-deserved holiday.

An octave cat?

An octave cat?

A bit crazy by design, but probably the biggest sounding vintage analogue mono synth.

Never touched one. But, seems a killer choice.

So, maybe, a chance to wiggle the, erhm, cat stick?

I'd pay for that.

[carrieres]

a roland sh-1 has a big sound too
