Arturia Prophet-5 V and Arturia SQ80 V: 2 Arturia software synths compared side by side. They differ on 6 of 8 compared specifications.
Key differences
- Synth type: Analogue modelling on the Prophet-5 V and Hybrid (digital oscillators, analogue filters) on the SQ80 V.
- Released: 2022 on the Prophet-5 V and 2021 on the SQ80 V.
- Emulates: Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 (1978) on the Prophet-5 V and Ensoniq SQ-80 (1987) on the SQ80 V.
- Oscillators: 2 modelled SSM VCOs (5 waveforms), noise, hard sync, Poly-Mod on the Prophet-5 V and 3 digital oscillators (DOC chip), 400+ waveforms, AM and hard sync on the SQ80 V.
- Filter: Modelled SSM 2040 4-pole low-pass on the Prophet-5 V and Modelled CEM analogue resonant low-pass on the SQ80 V.
Both are the same on plugin formats (VST2, VST3, AU, AAX).
