Arturia CS-80 V4vsArturia Prophet-5 V
Summary
Arturia CS-80 V4 and Arturia Prophet-5 V: 2 Arturia software synths compared side by side. They differ on 4 of 7 compared specifications.
Key differences
- Emulates: Yamaha CS-80 (1977) on the CS-80 V4 and Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 (1978) on the Prophet-5 V.
- Oscillators: 2 parallel layers, each with its own VCO and PWM LFO, plus sub-oscillator on the CS-80 V4 and 2 modelled SSM VCOs (5 waveforms), noise, hard sync, Poly-Mod on the Prophet-5 V.
- Filter: High-pass and low-pass in series per layer, with envelopes on the CS-80 V4 and Modelled SSM 2040 4-pole low-pass on the Prophet-5 V.
Both are the same on synth type (Analogue modelling) and plugin formats (VST2, VST3, AU, AAX).
