That is a cool idea, but sadly beyond my skill set.

Blue Line!

When mine arrives I was going to create a printable patch sheet, FWIW. I'll share it once I've drawn it.

^^^ There are some blank patch sheets for printing etc. on the last 2 pages of the vintage prophet 5 manual (very easy to find online).
Although the controls are not identical they are very close so this could be perhaps useful.

PDFs aren't super high resolution and the scans are a bit ugly. Plus, I'm bored to death in tier 3 lockdown so I'm drawing them regardless! I'm also rewriting/redrawing the manual for the drumtraks so I may as well do the sequential back catalogue at this rate.

(The scans of the Drumtraks manual online are truly offensive to the eyeballs when I was figuring out how to program the machine)

Got mine and after a couple of hours with it I’ve realised I’ve wasted years with other synths when this finds the sounds so easily.

10/10

And the 5.

Killer price.

People that can afford to spend $2800- 4400 on a synth and then complain about the wood pattern seems completely wrong and have no idea how incredibly lucky they are..

I'm sure if anyone has a real problem than sequential will be more then happy to help.

I ordered a P10 thru Manny’s in melb.. it arrived earlier this week.
I’ve never played an original P5 but it’s the sound in my head I always wanted... and more ... well done Dave smith and co...!

My take on the vintage knob after a few days with the P10...

While it’s a nice feature, and it definitely has an effect and can be nice on certain patches, in my opinion it’s generally best at Rev4 to 3 settings. It goes too far otherwise unless you really want it to get messy.

But the main thing I’ve realized is that it’s not a magic knob, that when ported to other synths will make them as nice as the P5/10. The magic of the tone of this synth is there 100% on Rev 4 setting, and there is SO much room to add subtle movement and “vintage” it up via the mod wheel / lfo / noise section amd cross mod, etc. I would be 1000% satisfied with this synth if it didn’t have a vintage knob and was locked on “4” permanently.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree with you that the tone is there with it set to 4. With that said it pretty much permanently lives on 2 on mine. But I live for the the messiness so that might just be me!

Cool and congrats! Do you mind if I ask when you ordered? I ordered a P5 through Manny's/StoreDJ 13/10. Have heard a couple go to Melb but not SYD yet.
Glad you're happy with it

Where are you based? Got mine from https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/

I ordered it the day Dave Smith announced it - so think I was the first order!

Ok thanks. Appreciate it!

That’s the whole point!!!! £4000 is a huge amount of money and it needs to be right. For the vast majority of people who can afford it, it’s still a lot of money and has taken a great deal of hard work to be able to have it to spend.

I’m going to eat humble pie, having worked through the presets last night there’s some great and clever ones, well done sound and synth design teams. It is a hugely organic sounding synth and all the better for it.

Wow, price on the P10 is really something there...

Jeez thanks! Waiting on Sweetwater for my P10 but jumped on this. Backordered of course, no clue when they will get more but for nearly $900 off I can be patient. Code still works...jump on it!

Both the five and ten are on a 25 week back order, too.
They must be selling like hot cakes!

I know, really couldn’t say no.

Check out the pro 3 too. Was just a shade more than the standard edition. Way too good a deal to miss out on and then you get 7.5% off that price.

They also have the 16-voice Moog One low (last one went yesterday); with discount it is £5.5k which is a significant saving and around the price the 8-voice usually sits.

That is actually nearly €900 less (which is even more less) compared to the price in EU. Also it includes VAT and taxes, which is raising it even more above the USD value.

Insane price, really. Or in other terms, you get the P10 for the price of the P5. And obviously you get the P5 for the price of a P6 ;-)

That often happens on their site; it’s their way of saying “we don’t know when” but often it comes back in just a few weeks. P6 is also showing 25 weeks (and with the discount applied is the cheapest I’ve seen).

Part of me is fully expecting to get an email from ProAudioStar canceling my order because they can’t honor the price on a back ordered item...

You’ve probably just started a stampede for vintage keyboard searches on Gumtree!

The vintage knob shines with polymod. Having the envelopes loosen up brings some extra movement and swish to the filter sweeps. Melodic stuff works better rev 3-4. Unless you want to sound like Boards of Canada, which sometimes I do.

OK... I jumped on a P10 with the low price + the BF code (UK), and yes it was cos the P10 was (with code) cheaper than the P5 usually would be (as much as I wanted the 'name' - the poly count did worry me) at that price it's a no brainer, won't even lose much if anything if I decide to pass it on on ebay in a year - cos it's costing me a whole grand less (depreciation already countered). Just gotta wait a few months now I guess to see if it actually turns up.

Happy Xmas!

Thanks Dave!

Check out the sound tower editor for p5/10

You can import the current patch from your p5 and then you have mostly instant recall of the patch. I say mostly because a few values don’t display properly. (3 way buttons for filter tracking, velocity and aftertouch.) and I think master volume and one other pot.
