The GForce Prophet~5 Black Friday deal takes 33% off this synth plugin, bringing the prophet 5 recreation to $79.99 until Dec 1, 2026.
It is billed as the first official Prophet~5 plugin, built by GForce Software in partnership with Sequential.
The original hardware came out in 1978 from Sequential Circuits. Dave Smith's five-voice analogue synth put polyphony, patch memory and hands-on control into one instrument.
It is a software version of that synth, with all of the original hardware functionality included. The maker says it is the most authentic Prophet~5 experience available in software.
Three character models are on board: Rev1 and Rev2 with SSM characteristics, and Rev3 with Curtis filter and envelope behaviour.
The library holds over 460 presets, including the original 38 factory patches from 1978. A tagging and search browser helps you find them.
The X-Modifiers section has been redesigned. Almost every parameter can get its own dedicated envelope and LFO, so a patch can move and evolve while keeping the original tone.
Each layer has its own arpeggiator and chord mode. That lets you stack textures, set up a keyboard split or add rhythmic contrast inside a single instance.
MIDI CC mapping runs throughout, and full MPE compatibility gives suitable controllers access to pitch, pressure and timbral expression.
Two selectable FX slots sit alongside dedicated Delay, Reverb and Pan Spread effects. The selectable options are Chorus, Phaser, Filter, Distortion, Tremolo and Compressor.
The maker lists extensive modulation possibilities throughout the effects section.
Yes. The Prophet~5 plugin from GForce Software is 33% off during the Black Friday deal, which brings it to $79.99. The offer ends Dec 1, 2026.
You get Rev1, Rev2 and Rev3 character models, over 460 presets including the original 38 factory patches from 1978, dual layers, an arpeggiator and chord mode per layer, built-in effects and a tagging patch browser.
They are the plugin's character models. Rev1 and Rev2 follow the SSM filter and envelope characteristics, while Rev3 follows the Curtis filter and envelope behaviour. The maker says they deliver the tone and response that made the original sought-after.
Yes. The maker lists full MPE compatibility, so compatible controllers can reach detailed pitch, pressure and timbral expression. Comprehensive MIDI CC mapping is also included throughout the instrument.
