Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

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.

I think it s just the point of view. it s 19 inches wide (before the wood end cheeks); standard rack size... if you scroll down further you ll see a pic of it

yep
I saw it
saw it hooked to a '08
I did take some pictures
but they where more for me
if I get time I will post some up

Talked a bit with Dave too of course.

the linn drum was there too ... did not hear it however

it seems like the linndrum doesn t have any functional software yet. maybe just enought to make it light up :) they just wanted to show a physical box, not a

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.

It was not a working prototype.

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...
