Thank you, you're too kind. But I also shared the wrong one, my bad...

That one did have some P08 sounds, but this one's more obvious:

Thanks, Soundquest.

For the purpose of comparing the sawtooth solo patch of the Prophet '08 with that of the Prophet 12:

Absolutely beautiful. I commend you. On your talent. Musically, and as a musical synthesist. And for staying calm in the swirl of personal desire and dissimilar arguments.

Thanks, Dsetto.

Marce Melià has composed and recorded another amazingly skillful and beautiful Prophet 8 track: https://youtu.be/nRnXKatHB-Y

Wonderful, makes me feel very humble and shows me there is a so much more to learn ;-). Nice.

I'm thoroughly fascinated with Marc's work and example. I love even the idea of some one drawing so much out of a single instrument. While the rest of us whine that our synthesizers can't do this and can't do that, and therefore, we can hardly use them with their limitations, this guy produces multiple minor masterpieces with one Prophet '08 and a few pedals. A model synthesist.

Fantastic, such Angelo Badalamenti vibe! Care to share the P08 patch?

Can't quite spot what pedal that is, some looper I guess. You know what brand and model?

Sacred Synthesis · « **Reply #153 on:** October 16, 2017, 11:07:51 AM »

I don't know what the pedal is that Marc uses. You can ask him through Youtube. He does respond.

The looper pedal is the updated (DigiTech) version of the classic Lexicon JamMan: https://digitech.com/en/products/jamman-stereo; the pitch effects are the modeled (BOSS) version of the classic Roland RE-201 Space Echo (tape delay with spring reverb): https://www.boss.info/us/products/re-20, as seen in the video here: https://youtu.be/6YAz8oa4ZoI.

Not sure as to the mixer....

The Prophet 08 features heavily in work by James Blake and Radiohead pretty much sine it came out, here are just a couple of examples

Marc has created a new track for the '08:

It blows my mind what he can do with a single '08 and some effect units.

I don't know how anyone could possibly squeeze even a single note of music out of that lousy outdated bare-bones piece of vintage junk called the Prophet '08. I sit at the thing, and it's like, there's nothing to work with here. Only eight voices, no onboard effects, no waveform modulation, no sub oscillator, minimal LFO's, a clumsy wall-wart, a tacky font, and worst of all, an old-fashioned display with characters that hardly tell you a thing. The two instruments sound totally dissimilar because they are totally dissimilar, with the Rev2 sounding far superior even on identical patches with no effects. There's just no placing the Prophet '08 next to the Rev2. Utterly different beasts. Unrelated. Even opposites. Black and white, night and day, up and down, backward and forward, old and new, cat and dog, amphibian and reptile.

I mean, who could possibly work with such a primitive instrument as a Prophet '08? Well...yeah...I suppose a musician could, but....

Ha ha, very funny.

If you go on like that I have to get myself a second hand '08 module as well. Build these wonderful layers of sound, you so excel in.

What can I say, I came very late to the DSI party. Should have started 30 years ago. But all the fun is in the here and now. I wish I could play as well as Marc, he is amazing. Just gotta keep trying and practicing.
