These sound really good, just like the original 64 patcches. 🖒🖒 I like virtually every synth designed by Dave Smith & design teams that included Dave, however, I must confess that I have never felt blown away by the Prophet 8 or Prophet 12. Having said that, it turns out that the keyboard olayer with one of my favourite 80s bands, Mike Lindup of "Level 42" used the Prophet 8 on some tours (his P-5 was getting too old for the road) & IMHO he was able to capture a little bit of the magic of the P-5 in his P-8 patches. Nevertheless, II consider Mike Lindup's results with the P-8 to be the exception, not the norm. Having said that, I think you've done a great job with these presets! I won't ever get a P-8, but there's a good chance I'll be purchasing a Rev.2, and if I do, I'll have to buy your presets. I'm sure they'll sound even better on the Rev.2, especially if the patches are doubled-up using two layers & the 16 voice version of the Rev.2! Stay safe; stay well ☺

Thank you! I agree that the Prophet 08 falls short when compared with most vintage synths, but it's a great tool.
