Sequential Prophet-10 61-Key Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer – Special Edition Lacewood

A Modern Classic – The Best of All Prophets

The Sequential Prophet-10 Special Edition is a ten-voice analog polyphonic synthesizer, faithfully recreating the legendary Prophet-5 while incorporating modern enhancements. Designed by Dave Smith, this synth delivers the warmth, depth, and power of the original, now with features that elevate it into a new era.

With a switchable Rev mode, the Prophet-10 lets you choose between the sonic character of all three Prophet-5 revisions—Rev1, Rev2, and Rev3—thanks to its genuine Curtis analog VCOs and filters (as in Rev3) and the new 2140 low-pass filters designed by Dave Rossum, reminiscent of the original Rev1 and Rev2 2040 filters.

Limited-Edition Prophet-10 Special Edition – A Collector’s Dream

To celebrate 50 years of Sequential, the Prophet-10 Special Edition is limited to just 150 units, making it a rare and highly sought-after instrument. This exclusive edition features stunning, hand-oiled lacewood panels, a certificate of authenticity, and an embroidered Prophet-10 dust cover. Combining the Prophet-10 Rev4 electronics with the timeless craftsmanship of natural wood, this edition is both a work of art and a powerhouse instrument.

Vintage Sound Meets Modern Versatility

Authentic Prophet-10 Tone with Vintage Character

The Prophet-10 captures the organic, warm, and rich tone of the original Prophet-5 while introducing a Vintage knob, allowing you to dial in the distinct behaviors of different Prophet-5 revisions. Go from a stable, modern sound (Rev4) to the quirky, unpredictable character of the rare Rev1.

Poly Mod and Enhanced Unison Mode

The Prophet-10 stays true to its roots with Poly Mod, enabling complex modulation between oscillators and the filter envelope, producing the signature Prophet-5 tonal flexibility. Unison Mode now supports configurable voice count (1-10 voices) with variable detuning and chord memory, plus Glide now functions in and out of Unison.

Velocity Sensitivity and Aftertouch for Expressive Playability

New velocity and aftertouch controls bring modern expressive capabilities to the Prophet-10, allowing dynamic control over filter sweeps, LFO modulation, and volume changes, expanding performance possibilities beyond the original model.

Effortless Hands-On Control

Designed for intuitive sound design, the knob-per-function front panel offers instant access to all parameters, while the Live Panel mode ensures what you see is what you hear. Toggle off the Preset button, and the synth switches to the current knob settings, perfect for real-time tweaking.

Built to Last – Classic Design with Modern Connectivity

Encased in a premium-quality black walnut heartwood body, the Prophet-10 is as visually stunning as it is sonically powerful. Featuring a semi-weighted 5-octave Fatar keyboard, USB/MIDI/Gate/CV I/O, and robust build quality, this synth is roadworthy and built for professionals.
