Sound
In replicating the sound of a real vintage synth, the Prophet V has done an excellent job. Every sound that comes from this synth is clean in the sense that you get pure analogue.
Features
This VST is really fun! There are so many possibilities with the combination of the VS and Prophet V.
Ease of Use
Piece of cake. Start it up, pick sounds, play. I have four gigabytes of memory and this VST loads quickly and correctly. It's so simple to make new sounds and save them into custom folders. Everything is easy to see, and move. 'Ease of Use' is the most important factor to me, and Arturia has FAILED to let me down here.
Quality
Clean, looks cool, sounds epic, easy to use, and under $200?? This VST sounds just like the real deal from the 70s and 80s. Your digital recordings will AWE your audiance.
Value
With it's simplicity, accurate sound, availible help, and it's cost, there is no way it gets less than 10/10
Manufacturer Support
There is a patch for this VST on Arturia's website. Download, install. It works. 10/10

"Analogue Heaven!!!"

The best soft synth...period.
Sound
Simply the best analogue software model. It sounds warm and lush, and it has that Prophet sound. Its twangs just like the real thing, espeically on pad sounds. The resonance filter is beautiful, no artifacts like other software. I also own the NI Pro53 and compared to that, the Prophet V is simply leaps ahead. It sounds like a real peice of analogue hardware. The presets are decent, but its when you programme your own sounds, that the interface shines.
Features
Its like 2 synths in one, but the hybrid mode is like another synth on top. Its allows you to blend the Prophet 5 with the Prophet VS digital sounds. You basically end up with new sounds, and sound that are impossible to creat otherwise.
Ease of Use
the manaul is chunky, and it details well, but i just dived straight in and almost learnt it in a day. Its pretty simple interface, but has a lot up it sleave.
Quality
Superb!!! The graphics are crystal clear and very live like. Im sure it affects more cpu though. The sound quality is out of this world. Its the warmest software sound i have ever heard. I also own many hardware synths like the SE-1X, Andromeda, poly evolver, Motif, Triton. The Prophet V has upto 32 voice unlike the hardware 5. Its also has some out of tune patches, which emulates the original like for like. I have heard the orginal many times and have played a few times back in 1988.
Value
This soft synth is worth every penny.
Manufacturer Support
Not too sure, but i have emailed them, and got a reply 2 days later. Seems OK.
The Wow Factor
Very lust. The graphics are crisp, and look just like a virtual Prophet 5. Very neat interface.
