According to FB, and some sneak peaks at NAMM photos, there will be something anounced soon. What is it? And is it anything more than just a reconfiguration of their current line up?
yea, i think i read that it will share the os with the tempest as well which is great because that means we will continue getting features/updates added to the tempest ensuring it will not fall by the wayside.

Right... so some sort of (scaled back) but updated Prophet VS?
Would have thought theres quite a bit of overlap with the PolyEvolver if thats the case?
Shape Mod/Pulsewidth control changes based on oscillator type:
Pulse and Tri - Pulsewidth control
Saw - Supersaw effect (note: not complete in NAMM units)
Noise - Pink on the left, White in the middle, Blue/Violet on the right
Wavetables - Blends between 3 different waveforms, one on the left, one in the middle, one on the right
Post FX section, fully analog signal path (no DAC/ADC converstion) with digital effects summed with analog signal at wet/dry points
Analog VCA and panning
Analog stereo distortion
Analog resonant Lowpass filter per voice
Analog resonant Highpass filter per voice
All analog parameters are modulated at >11kHz sample rate
Digital FX 'Character' Section:
NOTE: Effects are not finalized (besides Drive) and will be improved and possible changed before release
Air - High shelf with soft clipping
Girth - Low shelf with saturation
Hack - Bit Crush
Decimate - Sample Rate Reduction
Drive - Overdrive/Saturation
Tons of modulation:
4 LFOs up to 4kHz rate, sync and multiple shapes
4 Envelopes - VCA, Filter and 2 Auxiliary. ADSR plus delay
16 Mod slots - Oscillators can be used as sources for FM control of a wide range of params
Two Pressure- and Position-sensitive touch faders for added control in addition to the pitch and mod wheels
4 Delay lines
Can sync to internal arp clock or to external MIDI clock
~1 second buffer for each delay line
Amount, Feedback, and Rate controls on front panel
Delay time ranges from reverb and flanger effects to a looper with feedback turned to max
Delay algorithms not finalized in NAMM units and will be improved by release
Tuned Feedback
Expanded Arpeggiator modes
Quick mod section:
example: holding 'mod source' and hitting 'Osc 1' creates a new mod with 'Osc 1' as the source and brings up the screen. Then holding 'mod destination' and moving the 'Air' encoder assigns the destination to 'Air'. Simple!
Sorting of mods by slot number, mod source or mod destination which includes the fixed mods (destination params for LFOs and Envelopes) to quickly deconstruct programs. Makes it very easy to see what mods are affecting what parameters at a glance
Playlist mode for queueing up programs to use in a set for quick 1-button access to quickly load presets. 4 Playlists with 10 presets plus an extended playlist mode if more complicated setups are needed
I SAY F$#K FRANKIE!!... This is what caught my attention: "The new Character section adds a variety of wave shaping and sound sculpting options, like Drive, Hack, Decimation, Girth, and Air. Additional features include a tuned feedback path, a four-tap stereo delay per voice, expanded arpeggiator functionality"... Interesting...
Wow, this thing looks awesome. Took all the complaints about the P08 (no sub-osc, no feedback), improved a lot of stuff, and, best of all, has a real power supply. Now if only it had CV outputs and balanced audio outputs it would be perfect =)
And at $3000 I'm not feeling too bad about my $1500 used purchase of a P08.

so it's like a mish mash of all the previous pieces...
looks cool! what's the MSRP! I want one. This is the first one that has the old school SCI font too!
not that ugly DSI font, sorry but DSI synths have been ugly as hell for aw hile. down to the font.
luckily this looks like it's going back to it's old school one for the prophet logo!
sweet, i just hope it's got 2 DCOs in it!
Oh, and why those damn sliders. not sure if anyone else is on the Facebook page for DSI, but they just posted a video on it ,sounds good!: )
