Arturia Matrix-12 V2vsArturia Prophet-5 V
Summary
Arturia Matrix-12 V2 and Arturia Prophet-5 V: 2 Arturia software synths compared side by side. They differ on 5 of 8 compared specifications.
Key differences
- Released: 2016 on the Matrix-12 V2 and 2022 on the Prophet-5 V.
- Emulates: Oberheim Matrix-12 (1985) on the Matrix-12 V2 and Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 (1978) on the Prophet-5 V.
- Oscillators: 2 VCOs (triangle, saw, variable pulse); Osc 2 doubles as noise on the Matrix-12 V2 and 2 modelled SSM VCOs (5 waveforms), noise, hard sync, Poly-Mod on the Prophet-5 V.
- Filter: 15-mode multimode (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch, phase shift, combinations) on the Matrix-12 V2 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).
