"Prophet '08 Synthesizer Module—Coming Soon!" - DSI Web Site

2008-01-20 by rikp1964

I checked the DSI web site last night (it's NAMM time again, after
all) and found images of the new Prophet '08 synthesizer module
("Coming Soon") on this page:

The only thing I can't figure out is if the top picture is stretched
or the bottom picture is squeezed.  The proportions look very different.

Yes, that helps immensely.  Its face is about the same size as my
Matrix-6R (sitting just to my right as I write), but about 15% the
thickness.

As an EWI wind controller player I appreciate that DSI has breath
control built into their products right on the front panel, not hidden
somewhere behind the scenes.

To correct my post, I researched the current Prophet '08 manual and
the modulation bus does not have a destination for oscillator level
(mix only) so I can only think of a work-around sacrificing one of the
oscillators to get the P08 fully wind controller compatible.  Not
exactly what I hoped for.

The Evolver series seems to be an anomaly in making life easy for the
analog-loving wind controller player.  Maybe I should look at the Poly
again...
