Prophet 5 Demo - 80s Synth Funk
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- I have finally obtained my dream instrument, the prophet 5! After paying someone to restore it, it unfortunately arrived dead and in rough shape. I have done quite a bit of work to this to finally bring it back to life and make it perfect. this video is a quick and dirty remake of Network's hit covergirl. The prophet essentially defined this genre of music. All of the sounds are custom, no presets were used! Also, my prophet 5 has a brand new replacement power supply in it, it is one of a kind. If anyone would like more info I will make a video.
That synth brass sound is so unmistakable. Absolutly nailed it .
How to get that brass?
Dude i love you for doing COVER GIRL. I play this video sometimes. It's so fcuking funky.
Midnight Star & Johnny Kemp! Perfect for tonight
Brilliant, brings back those classic 70’s & 80’s funk sounds.
Only analog sounds
I'm envious. The Prophet 5 is my dream synth to own as well. Glad you got yours in good working condition! I'm sure that was a lot of research and effort.
intheblink thanks!, I almost gave up on it and went to a p6, but after rigging it up enough to make sound, I couldn’t let it go. Was pretty scary to start pulling boards and soldering stuff but I got more comfortable as I learned the instrument. I haven’t even bothered putting the screws back in yet haha, it seems like every few days I gotta open her up to fix something lol.
How's she holding up?
Operator! This is an emergency!
Nice that you've finally got your Prophet-5 back from the shop! Sucks that it needed more tlc, but the sound is worth it!
Adam Borseti hahah if by shop you mean my dining room table then yes! I have to order a few more envelope chips as the older ones are “duller” sounding than the newer replacements. But she is alive and working!
@@RonnieAugeri Huzzah!
you did nail a sound from the 80's but it's not synth funk…………….……………………………………………………………….the song you played is R & B
robinsss both Operator and Covergirl are definitely 80s Funk songs.
That's midnight star
operator and cover girl are 2 of my favorite electro funk songs thanks.
God bless the Prophet 5. I think it’s my favourite synth just for the bass sound alone. So exotic and warm its sound.
Ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-nineteen.
WAw Cover girl!!! one of my best of funk sound! the pad in introduction is magic!
That's johnny Kemp song
This sounds DOPE
wow amazing job that Midnight Star sound!
The sound of paradise!
Nice sounds and nice playing! Love that funk. Peace \/.
This is real groove, in next few days i get my prophet 5 as 10 i can't wait to playing it.
Fantastic Demo. The Funk is strong in you. 😃👍🏼. Please show us more about the power supply. And a big Yes, please do a sound design video 😃. Would love it. Your MS cover is awesome. This is the best P5 demo on youtube. Love it
Duuuude, you are Funkalicious!
This is insanely good
Closed my eyes and could swear I was listening to my Walkman back laying down on my bed as a teenager in the day
Brilliant!
The funk is real with this one!
Super cool super music !!!
Wow ! I'm quite impress' how groovy is you playing ! Cover Girl from the Network is one of my favorite single from this era, and you nailed it ! It is even more remarquable because the original song used a Oberheim OB, and you managed to have the same punchy sound from a Prophet !
Hi, I love your logo, I love The Rippingtons!
@@SergioGarcia-jg3yy Hi, thank you ! Actually, I discovered The Rippingtons only few years ago, which is surprising since i like jazz fusion/smooth jazz and some of the people who played on this group, such Gregg Kakuras and Kenny G... also i like cats and arts (and thoses Rippigtons's LP cover stunning on this point !), so it is perfect from my standpoint ^^
Cheers from France !
Well Done Man!!
i love it thank you for sharing!
The Prophet 5 and Minimoog were heavily used on R'n'B tracks during the 80's. You should show us your cover of Midnight Star's Operator
I want a mini so bad. Or an odyssey would suffice :) The Taurus sounds excellent but not many features a full fledged mono provides. At least it nails the moog sound.
Sounds great! What effects are you using for processing? Anyway to hook a brother up with those patches? Lol 😂
nice cover girl 's cover !!!!
AnalogSynthMuseum thank you, I actually discovered the song through the mix in your channel. I listened to that on repeat while patiently hunting this synth down haha.
The songs he recreated here were:
- Operator by Midnight Star.
-Cover Girl by Network
Midnight Star, hot track ! A are a talent
You should do some sound design videos using the Prophet 5. I love the sounds it has and Synth Funk.
If I get enough interest from the subs I would totally be down for some sound design videos.
That was my cup of tea
Covergirl whatw a gem!!
Nice the beginning sounds like the beat to Opeator Midnight Star.
one of my fav. songs...
Great cover man!
Nice 🎹
YES COVER GIRL
Eb- the best key ! 👍
Nice...
This is just .... Wow ..
Cover girl is the name of song from network
Great!!
Thanks for your uploading :)
Can you share sound chart for making 80s synth funk timbre?
Yeaa!!! 🔥🔥🔥
That’s what I like intro song is good too is it Prophet 5 ? Breakdance style
Yes, everything in this video is P5.
Somebody is a fan of Midnight Star
I do
Operator!!!
sounds great man! what you using for drums here?
This is great!!! ❤👍
Good groove !
Take care of your Prophet V... I had the opportunity to buy one once for $400 but I passed on it because I didn't have the money.
nice
The overture is Midnight Star, right?
The second has a brass from Prelude Records like... (So cool!)
I think you could play D Train - You're The One with those sounds...
WOW, really cool!
La Electro Funk que se forma de la EDM Concreta a partir de 1977 (NRG & Synthpop) y la Musica Electronica (Post Concreta, Experimental & Moog) de los 70s.
El Funk sin la Electronica seria el mismo sonido acustico caracteristico de los 70s.
Quien inicia esto posiblemente sea la dupla Cecil (Electronica) & Stewe Wonder (Funk) en el tema Supertation de 1972.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 What a Funk , i like it…
Any tutorial to recreate those fat funky basses ?
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Man... if only you could share those preset settings, plzzzzzzzzzzz 😁
This is gold! Fuck yeah. I wanna dance all night!
do you know how to do that early 80s "drum" sound on the Prophet 5? The one that's on Man Parrish, Arthur Baker, John Robie - even Yazz Situation??
It's that pitched tom sound that they would play on the keyboard. Prophet 5 in particular.
Great job!
Drums & Keys thanks!
This is incredible! Reckon my Behringer pro 800 could get close to these sounds (new owner)?
UNDERRATED as fuck
Amazing oldschool funk vibe here! Great playing too! Very funky, very tight - it takes you back to those good old days when real music was the mainstream and funk was the king! If you like, you can check out my "funky" synth demos on my new channel too! Thanks a lot and please keep the funk alive!:-)
I like that track I need make some sounds on music
Awesome funky video !
🤩
Could you please gives in details the patch sound you used ?
Dawn it .. so good
Tight 🌶🎶🌶🎶🌶👍👍👍
Ok Paul Hardcastle Jr.
I cannot for the life of me figure out what you would call that sound in the background. I hear it in funk all the time. That constant, slow sort of droning set of notes. If anyone can help 🙏
Fucking dope!
Hey bro - amazing work you've done! I'm a DJ and i'd love to spin your version in some gigs i play to. Are you able to share it by any chance?
thanks
Hi, where did you get this instrumental cover girl, have you looped it .
I made this steven!
@@RonnieAugeri Fantastic stuff ronnie, love this kind of funk i also love D train, and all the 80s funk.
@@stevenbauer7576 D train would be a good group to do a remake of
@@RonnieAugeri Keep going Ronnie peace.
I want to collaborate whit you one day
tipical brass sound 70/80 years
Stupid hard! What kind of drum machine you working with?
I use vprom, its an emulation of the Linn lm-1, but can load the eeproms of many other famous drum machines. The tuning and effects are really where the magic comes from (gated reverb, compression, etc).
Real dope man
@@RonnieAugeri Love the drumbeat, did you use a Roland TR 707 for it?
😎👌🏻
Very
How did you build that brass stab sound? I got a prophet 6 and like to program a few brass stabs like that
Hi Michael, do you mean the "spongy" brass chords with the slow filter attack, or the little runs i'm playing with 5ths before slamming the B major? or the B major itself.
@@RonnieAugeri yeah the spongy brass chords
@@RAGINxxXxxCAJUN Easy! Scale 0-10 Filter Section: cutoff 3 (to taste) env 10, attack 4ish, sustain and decay around 5 to taste (not that important if you play staccato), release 5. Amplifier section: attack 0, sustain 10, decay 10, release 5. Oscillators are just saw tooths slightly detuned. Add resonance to taste, that's where the "wetness" of the sound comes from. Start around 2/3 and go from there.
@@RonnieAugeri I'll give it a try tomorrow. Thanks Ronnie
@@RonnieAugeri Prophet 5 doesn't have a detune knob. How did you set the detune in prophet 5's oscillator ???.
i wonder 1:08 synth trick! How did you touch the tone?
Hi, I'm not quite sure what your asking. If your regarding the sound, thats unison mode with the second oscillator tuned a 5th higher. Believe its saw tooth and pulse wave.
@@RonnieAugeri thanks y my synth teacher
@@RonnieAugeri Any modulation was used to get that slite vibrato effect on those chords.
Kevin Cruz yep, apply mod smoothly with the wheel after whacking the chord, it does take some feel to get the effect right.
THICC BASS
Nightwalk haha only 2 c’s? That’s 10 oscillators of pure analog thickness.
hahaha damn I was just about to post "THICCCCCC" but this man beat me to it. it be that way sometimes doe!
FunkindaHole hahah nothing wrong with a few brothas on the same page!
operator！
I would love to see the video about che Power supplì thanks. Ps great sounds! Care to share ?
Roger Gentile hi roger, sorry for the long delay. My friend has actually posted another supply up for sale on eBay. In his listing, you can see all of the details about it. I highly recommend it, he originally made it just for me but it has been so reliable I encouraged him to list one for sale. www.ebay.com/itm/153849386790
Hey Ronnie, is this a Rev 3 ? (sounds amazing)
Thanks Wes! Yes, I've always wanted a rev 2 but so unrealistic (and unreliable). Most of the tracks in the era featured a rev 3. Even the rev 3s can be problematic, but mine has a newly designed power supply a friend did for me. This thing is a funk machine!
Good to know, (just bought a rev 3....so that’s reassuring thanks!)
@@mrWesStyles That's awesome, its such a great synth with a wide sonic pallet, you'll have a blast with it. They'll test your patience every once in a while but that's the nature of the beast.
could i buy wav samples of the sounds used in this? like wav samples of those patches you made in the prophet 5?
Chelsey Holloway buy a Prophet-5!!!
@@SPAZZOID100 u saying it like it's affordable 😂
I normally don't save any of my sounds as presets because I like to let the magic come and go (unless its something really unique). It would be a lot of work for me to sample these and set up the loop points correctly, something I'm not super great at. I would personally recommend one of the VST emulations, I used to use pro 53 but there are even some free ones out there as well.
@@RonnieAugeri I understand, thank you for replying
@@donebydmedia No problem, if I get a chance I'll load up pro 53 and send you a screen shot of the patches I used to use, should give you a good idea how to get these sounds on almost any synth/plugin.
