Hello.
I’ve been lusting for a Prophet 12 for years, and finally found the module one (my preference) at a bargain price. It’s still within the return period, so I haven’t yet committed to keeping it.
I love it, everything about it. Sounds great, amazing interface, and the bi-timbrality is really well implemented.
I find, however, that what I like most about it is when it goes to strange and distant places. I’m not after a classic analogue (clearly, as I went for this one), but more one that can do more quirkier things without being just weird. The P12 fits the bill perfectly for the purpose.
However, so does the Digitone. As I’m getting to know the Digitone, I’m finding that what I like about the P12, the Digitone does just as well, sometimes better. So I’m wondering if the two together are just one synth too many?
Is there anyone here who has experience with both, that can share their opinion? Obviously, pairing the two, sequencing the P12 from the Digitone and routing the P12 through the Tone’s line in, is an awesome setup. But I like to keep it tidy, and prefer to make do with what I can’t do absolutely without, rather than indulging myself in options. That’s why I think the two are perhaps so close that the P12 might have to go back to the store.
Thoughts on this?
