Arturia Prophet-VS V Virtual Exploratory Vector Synthesizer Plug-In

Arturia 1090-103 Overview

Musicians and producers in search of a classic vector synthesizer will be thrilled with Arturia Prophet-VS V, a virtual instrument that captures the crisp digital precision and stirring sci-fi sound of an instrument that pioneered vector synthesis. Pick your waveforms, perfect your sound, and explore multiple digital dimensions simultaneously with an enhanced softsynth workflow.

Prophet-VS V faithfully unites the crisp sound of digital oscillators with the grainy character of analog filters and VCAs, just like its legendary hardware predecessor. This is vector synthesis brought to life in software form, letting you move between hot and cold, rough and smooth, analog and digital-a hybrid relic reborn for effortless modern production. This virtual instrument is compatible with Mac and Windows computers and will operate in standalone mode or as a plug-in within your DAW on the AAX Native AU, VST2, VST3, or NKS platforms.

4-Dimensional Sound

Go beyond crossfading and blending waveforms with Prophet-VS V's authentic joystick oscillator section. Assign any of the 450+ waveforms to its 4 oscillators, and seamlessly modulate and navigate the near-limitless space between them for a breathtaking sonic spectrum.

Unashamedly Digital

Prophet-VS V channels the crystalline clarity, rich harmonic depth, and icy layered timbres that early digital synths were known for, then runs it through emulated Curtis analog filters and amps for an abrasive hybrid sound, overflowing with aliasing imperfections perfect for hyperpop, trap, EDM, and ambient sound design.

Automate, Modulate

Prophet-VS V's sound is all about movement. When you're not navigating the space between its 4 digital oscillators, employ its LFO groups, flexible envelope generators, and built-in arpeggiator to make your patches dance and evolve in a few clicks.

Simple Yet Advanced

While the original Prophet VS' digital architecture afforded it plenty of flexibility, Arturia figured a little more wouldn't hurt. Take its sound further with tasteful enhancements to original features like the mixer envelope, plus extra modulation and built-in effects, without overcomplicating your flow.

Find Your Vector

• Set a course for a vibrant trip through the sought-after sounds of vaporwave, hyperpop, future bass, ambient film scores, and beyond.
• Explore digital sound on an unprecedented scale, with millions of possible waveform combinations, and a multidimensional spectrum to discover within each combination with the joystick and modulation interface. The sonic possibilities of this vector synthesis machine are staggering.
• Put simply, Prophet-VS V lets you immerse your projects in the fluorescent keyboard tones of the ˜ 80s, the knife-edge sounds of hardcore and future pop, the iconic suspense of sci-fi soundtracks, and universes beyond.

Preset Library

For when you need quick results, Prophet-VS V comes equipped with a library of expertly designed presets for any style. Hone in on the sound you need in seconds without interrupting your flow.

Beyond the Original

If 450+ waveforms and a host of slick digital-synth-inspired features weren't enough, Arturia expanded Prophet-VS V with a little more of the stuff you might need.

• Envelopes: Combine and customize with an expanded version of the original hardware's Mixer Envelope, designed to draw unique shapes with the joystick, or deep-dive with 2 additional envelope types.
• Modulation: Prophet-VS V's triple Function Generators are your modulation blank canvases. Whatever shape, movement, loop, or chaos you desire, this is how you'll get there. Better still, this tab is where you can tie all of your modulation together with the Mod Matrix.
• Effects: Ensure that Prophet-VS V sits in your mix and delivers the sonic goods with 16 built-in FX. That's 16 powerful, stirring, atmospheric final touches for your synth parts, with 3 slots at your disposal.
