( My Macbook isn’t letting me open it though;
’ “Mapping Utility” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. ’ )
just allow it in system-> security when trying to install
i use a stick with the actual content to install (watch the correct PX#)
if there would be content installed before on the stick, it might re-install this, which means you might lose
edits done after first installation.
I honestly haven’t had this big of a ‘this is the perfect synth for me’ reaction to any other synth, it’s like the perfect blend of palette and functionality.
For all the synths I have, or have had over the years, I’m amazed how little the Prophet X has appeared on my radar before getting it… I even had a first hand demo of it at Superbooth last year and the personal potential still didn’t register with me.
Believe it or not I was on the overhead/2nd camera duties for Starsky Carr filming this video… the video makes perfect sense to me now.
Have you tried the “Program genetics” and “Morpher” functions in Soundtower? I was hoping they would be similar to the patch mutator on the Nord G2 which I use a lot.
Nah I have not. I deleted my other post because it was a bit too ranty…
… but when I use a vst editor for what I was trying to do, I want to see it as little as possible, ideally not at all. So I wouldn’t have really messed with that kind of feature even though I can see the appeal.
Typical Sequential to just discontinue their synths. They could have continued this great instrument with an improved Prophet X 2 and a desktop version.
Ok they’re explaining why:
“With a heavy heart, we must announce that due to the unavailability of several key components, we’ll be waving goodbye to new Prophet X units after our current stock depletes.”
Shouldn’t it make the price go up as it becomes harder to obtain?
Man that is pretty disappointing to see, really wanted one but I don’t have the space sadly and wont for the foreseen future. Hope they design another sampler synth again.
Yeah I wonder a bit, I asked them a long while back and they were just like the board design of the X wont allow for a desktop design. I guess they must design the synths that get both with that idea from the get go.
