This keyboard sounds just awesome. I guarantee you�ll be playing this for hours. It has kick-ass sounds
already built in so you won�t be missing anything. Playing with all those knobs (5) and wheels (3+ribbon)
will make the sounds go crazy..! Just check the 303growler sound and you�ll wet your pants from the
feeling of a pure killer acid sound. But wait, don�t go rushing buy this synth. If you have a MIDI-setup
without a sampler, you�ll be running into polyphony problems after the first two seconds. That�s because
this baby is monophonic.... however the effects don�t cut eachother out, so it really does offer
a little polyphony... But I�m selling mine. I�ve got no sampler, at least not a good one so i�ll just
be looking forward to buying the JP8000 with polyphony of 8. Here�s some more things I didn�t like
about the Prophecy : (1) You won�t be playing fast solos with aftertouch, the keys have to be smashed in
before any aftertouch occurs. (2) The ribbon controller wheel has a spring a little too strong... Maybe
you can fix this yourself with a screwdriver..? (3) The sound editation is a nightmare, you�ll need
a patch-editing program for your computer to really alter the sounds the way you want to. There�s
a good one available in the NET but the author wants $100 for registering it... I say he can play
with his little program, I�m just not going to pay that much for it!
If you play live or don�t have a MIDI-setup, this little synth is for you. Everytime you play it you�ll get
kicks out of it, but I�m sick and tired of it�s limitations -> Buy something more useful.
