I own a prophecy, figured I'd poke with some facts.
was released in 96, its not upgradable, is monophonic, & has 11 variations of ocillator for the 2 main OSC, a sub osc & a noise generator, which is what seperates it apart from other synths, runs a duel mix signal chain (routing different osc's to different filters) of which it runs 2 multimode filters. has 2 waveshapers, 3 FX (reverb/delay+chorus/phaser/flanger+wah/dist/amp sim). & heres the kicker, the device runs 5 enverlopes & 4 LFO's, with a whopping amount of routing (along with the HW controllers)
the sound on the DA is oddly quiet, buts the flexibuilty of the korg MOSS is MASSIVE, & can produce a serious amount of sounds. the brass sounds in particular are a favourite of mine.
the presets on the machine are frankly shit & uninspiring, but whipe them all, start again from scratch & you'll find a canyon deep set of sounds available, of which the editing is menu driven with context knobs.
I belive it was used alot on the fat of land album by the prodigy.
I personally used to use one in my live rig, played by my former band mate as a cool & flexible lead performence synth
I deffinatly recomend one, tho you HAVE TO spend time with it, dig in, remember to assign the controllers to things to animate the sound, & enjoy!

I expect a full video review of the Prophecy, Battrick ;)
Just think of it as a retro-review
Cheers

I bought that Prince album that PJ mentioned. It's actually 3 discs with one being a female artist that Prince has produced. It was discounted to $5 at Target a few months ago. The first Prince disc is alright, but not his best. Still have to listen to the 2nd one. Such a bother to rip it into iTunes.
