Synth builders/engineers are not musicians tho. They don’t hear it the same way we do, they play an int patch and it tells them all the information they need half the time to know the power/quality of the synth 😅

Great vid (as usual). I've got my share of analog mono's and poly's over here, the Prophet 6 is far and away the workhorse, it gets used more than any other by a factor of 3. Partly that's because it's just so insanely versatile, it can credibly impersonate an OBX pads, moog lead, ms20 glitch... plus its own unique timbres. But mostly, it just has this amazing tone that, when you tweak the filters just right, will 'sit' in the mix no matter what else is going on in the arrangement. It's subtly electric, not overly warm but not too hard either, and just the right kind of buzz up top to give it effortless presence. It'd probably be the one synth I'd keep if everything else had to go. Only gripe is the built-in verbs always make it sound cheesy and the wrong kind of dated to my ears. But the phaser is super useful, and the distortion is amazing on bass to level it out and help it cut a bit better. Thanks for the killer demo!

What would prevent me from having the P6 as my only synth is 6 voices and the 4-octave keyboard. I‘d be better off with my Rev 2 which can also sound pretty prophetish if you really know it.

I don’t believe Dave Smith has really had the recognition he deserves in comparison to Bob Moog. The release of the new P5 and P10 was exciting for those wanting to snap up a modern recreation of a historical classic but DS went further and retrofitted the vintage knob into the P6 and OB-6. This new feature elevates these synths to a wonderful level. Modern stability with genuine VCO softness. This was a genuine gift back to the consumer blowing Roland and its refusal to re-release classic VCO synths out of the water. Roland believed they knew better than the customer. Dave Smith just knew the customer. Matt just knows how to play. And doesn’t it just sound great?

I would absolutely love to learn how to play like you do. I’m mainly a guitar player but fell in love with synths after playing my first analog. I’ve watched your “funk keys” videos and they’re great! That’s just the style I aspire to have one day. Hopefully you’ll release more!? Also, you would make a ton of money with some preset packs for these instruments you have. I know I’d certainly buy them all! Anyways, keep up the fantastic work, I’ll be tuned in!!
