What (if anything) are you using to stereo-ize yer Prophets?

I spent the first few weeks with my Prophet 5 running it through nothing at all, and being perfectly satisfied. Its sound really needs nothing. But I've read these replies with interest.

I currently do not own a dedicated effects unit, so I started running my Prophet 5 through my Pro 3's effects, and that's a lot of fun. If you try this, make sure to set the input level down to about 30%, to avoid clipping with five notes. You may need to go lower if you have a Prophet 10, but I wouldn't know.

It was enough to get me thinking about getting a good external processor.

Aside from that, I have recorded a pad part with two passes, each one panned to one side. Both passes used the same Prophet 5 sound, but I switched from the Curtis filter to the Rossum filter on the second pass.

In a fit of "keeping it real," I've been looking at old Effectron delays. Had one in my teenage days and loved it. Might be a nice unit to keep the P5 plugged into, in all mono glory! I've mostly stopped thinking about stereo options for the P5, other than via software. The 5 has such heft to its sound and in mono, it fills plenty of space...

I am using Eventide H9 "Carnegie Hall" program mostly with factory preset 213 with slightly extended release tail.  It sounds SO GOOD.  I play Bach WTC whole book in one sitting hours and hours just to enjoy the beauty of it.  The sound is stereo-ish, or perhaps stereo.

I guess I wasn't kidding - I went ahead and grabbed an Effectron in great shape. The Prophet sounds perfect through it. And so very mono!

2 outputs from 1 preamp into 2 interfaces, panning the main interface in left, and the 2nd middle right.  It's always got a moderate amount of chorus because the 2 interfaces into the DAW, one is carried via ADAT to the other.  So yeah even with no fx at all.  Very cool chorus almost exact sounds, with a minute difference in timing and panning.
