Hi guys,
I've been dreaming of a Prophet 5 for years but always thought the 5 voices was a bit too much PRICEWISE and also, vintage gear with vintage price were a bit steep for an old synth but the New Rev4 checks all the boxes for me. My issue is I like a lot my P08 for its sequencer and special sound as well so, would it be crazy to keep all 3? Getting a P10 Rev4 without selling any of the previous ones? What did you do? Did you keep your P08 rev2?
I have a DsI Tetra hooked up to the P08 for the extra 4 voices so, I use it quite a lot too, same with P12...
Issue is the room in the practice room and in the studio and I feel the P10 "deserves" the keyboard...Your thoughts?
I realized I had forgotten a word for the old Prophet 5, I meant "too much FOR THE PRICE", not for the synth features!!! Anyway, yes, with the little inheritance I'm going to receive in June, I could keep all 3, the sequencer of the P08 is great (but not transposable,q or did I missed something?), The P12 is so useful in all the Funk/top 20/Dance we play in our brand, like the song was made around some of its factory programs and the new P10, well, this is it, this is the legend. With all your advices, I made a decision, to keep all keys, I have the P08 on top of the P12 and both on top of the C2. That made the P08 a little bit far when I program, not that much when we play.
Prophet 12 is perfect and I will had a new branch at my L set up to make it a "U”set up. First side, at 90 degree, is Stage 2+D50+Nord Leaf 2X, on the right, 90 degree, I said it, C2 Nord+P12+P08/tetra (to get 12 voices) and I found a stand to put again on the right side, at a 90 degree angle, to put the P10 keyboards. It works, I have a little room to get into the U, sliding myself between the drums and the P10. The bassist still has room behind me. I will have to do some replugging with the mixers and midi with the Roland A880 though. See attachments.
The new stand was the one I was using when I had only C2+P08, Or when I play B3 style only and needs to bring some synths sound with it (mainly Rock ala Santana)
Well, it's just but it fits perfectly and reaching it is easy with the rotating Chair.
Thanks again
