So so cute, with those little brown cheeks...the synthesizer I mean.

Pawthesizer or Barkthesizer!?

And not a word about the Sinthesizer!

The Prophet '08...unleashed.

Yeah and see what happened: it sounds like a FM synthesizer now!

So the Prophet '08 have hereby been declared a Virtual Digital!?

I think the term "virtual digital" has actually been used within a slogan for the Schmidt synthesizer.

Its scent controller is outstanding.

Another example of the Carillon patch:

Happy Holidays to all! I recently found this forum and I'll post my musics here! While not made with entirely Dave Smith Instruments, at least two were designed by him. These songs feature a Prophet '08 and a Korg Wavestation SR. I wish I could actually find a Prophet VS, that would be amazing. If it was working and at the same price I paid for the Wavestation, I would probably have an aneurysm from the excitement. As it is, Vector Synthesis on the Wavestation is an interesting concept, and can be very rich and complex. I hope you all enjoy it!

Bell Singer - Featuring the P'08 as the backup melody (So whirly!)

Stars So Bright - P'08 plays the classic trumpet sound

Anna's Journey - This patch is somewhere between a flute or a trumpet?

The Greatest Gift - This one features the P'08 as the Bass, the Melody (Sample and Hold Pad), Piano (organ?) sound, and Horn section

Merry christmas and Happy New Year!

Thanks for posting the wimichae, the more DSI music posts, the better.

Another example of the Carillon patch:

Is a carillon referring to those hand bells people play at Christmas or is it a keyboard type thing? For some peculiar reason I cannot find this patch on my PO8. Maybe I recorded over it, wasn't in my editor either.

The patch is not from DSI; it's mine. I designed it just last week.

The choice of the name "Carillon" may be a tad imprecise, but it's close enough. The sound is a cross between several tuned percussive instruments, including hand bells, but I settled with carillon.

Here's a video of a guy playing the instrument:

Sacred Synthesis, that video of the carillon is crazy. I had no idea the size of these instruments. Your patch really captures it.

Sacred Synthesis · « **Reply #113 on:** December 26, 2016, 02:06:06 PM »

Thanks, Soundquest. Yes, it's much easier to play a Prophet '08 carillon than a real one! But I'd say, playing a real carillon is a great way to work our your frustrations.

You're right. The P-08 is much easier to play! I had a chance to play this on one time. At university of denver. It's a blast to play. I you already have some skill on piano, the skill transfer works fairly well.

It's not unlike the organs of old. Originally, the instrument was worked by pulling large levers that opened the pipes to a flow of air, somewhat similar to the levers of a carillon. Back when men were men, even in the cases of musicians.

Happy holidays all! I got a FAB distortion pedal for X-mas, and I was wondering what it would do to the filters with resonance up at about 40% on the Prophet 08. I put this little diddy together, and I thought it sounded great! Simple, snappy, dirty, really tonically beefy. I also used the virtual-distortion on the Ultranova for some of this. I used the basic bank 1 program 11 MOONSTER patch, and adjusted the resonance and panning depth in unison to provide such a wiiiiiide field. I think the filters on the Prophet 08 can be really aggressive, I suppose it is all a matter of taste. Every time I make a bass sound I am so drawn to using it in 2-pole mode for some reason. Enjoy!

An all-Prophet '08 improvisation using a PWM pad and contrary motion:

Not full pieces of music yet, made a sound demo

Next time to use it to make a full track.

It's nice to see a new Prophet '08 demo; I watched it yesterday and again today. I think we like some of the same progressive music.
Was the final "OB8" sound based on a preset or did you do it from scratch?
