Manufacturer's description
We have taken the FIRST and the LAST synthesizers created by Sequential Circuits™ and brought them to you in an easy to use software instrument format. As with all other soft synths created by Arturia, we bring you replicas of the Prophet-5 and Prophet VS both visually and sonically. Using the PROPHET V will be second nature for the connoisseurs. And if you are new to these synths, the only thing you will miss by not having the hardware versions is the workout from transporting them to the studio. Finally, since the PROPHET V is designed with Arturia’s TAE® technology, you can be sure you will not give up sound quality.

Pros
Realistic emulations of two classics. Hybrid mode sounds absolutely fantastic. Decent selection of presets.
Cons
Volume discrepancies between patches. Incredibly CPU-hungry. Sluggish behaviour. Dongle crashed our Mac.
Verdict
Arturia have created another great synth, but it places a serious amount of load on your computer. Consider your options carefully.
