GForce Prophet 5 Virtual Analogue Synthesizer

The GForce Prophet 5 Virtual Analogue Synthesizer is the first official Prophet 5 plug in, created in partnership with Sequential to capture the sound, feel and behaviour of Dave Smiths legendary five voice polysynth. Combining meticulous modelling of all three classic revisions with powerful modern modulation, layering and effects, it delivers the unmistakable Prophet tone in a flexible software instrument that is equally at home in vintage inspired tracks and cutting edge electronic productions.

From the original 1978 factory presets to an extensive modern library, Prophet 5 gives you instant access to the sounds that shaped countless records, while its redesigned X Modifiers, dual layer architecture and MPE support open up deep, expressive sound design possibilities that go far beyond the original hardware.

The official Prophet 5 in your DAW

Developed jointly by Sequential and GForce Software, this is the only official Prophet 5 plug in, built to deliver the most authentic software recreation of the original instrument. The tone, response and musicality of the Rev1, Rev2 and Rev3 models are all represented, from the silky warmth of the SSM based designs to the punch and clarity of the Curtis filter. If you want the genuine Prophet character without the cost, maintenance and limitations of vintage hardware, this is the most direct route.

Classic sound, modern flexibility

While every aspect of the original front panel is present, Prophet 5 goes much further with a redesigned X Modifiers section. Almost every parameter can have its own dedicated envelope and LFO, letting you build evolving pads, animated basses and intricate textures that still feel immediate and playable. You keep the fast, hands on workflow of the classic synth, but gain a deep modulation system that makes it easy to create movement and nuance in your sounds.

Dual layers for bigger, richer patches

Prophet 5 features two completely independent layers, each with its own sound, arpeggiator and chord mode. Layer, Split and Alternate modes let you stack patches for huge, cinematic tones, divide the keyboard for performance friendly splits, or alternate between layers with each key press for rhythmic interplay. With up to 10 voices per layer, it is simple to build complex, performance ready sounds inside a single plug in instance.

Expressive control and studio grade effects

Full MPE compatibility and comprehensive MIDI CC mapping allow you to bring the Prophet 5 to life with modern controllers, adding detailed pitch, pressure and timbral expression to every note. A suite of high quality effects including chorus, phaser, multimode filter, distortion, tremolo, compression, stereo delay and reverb lets you finish sounds inside the instrument, with modulation options that tie the effects tightly into your patches. A fully resizable interface and powerful patch browser with tagging and search keep everything fast and fluid in day to day use.
