32 Exclusive Prophet VS patches

[Funtmaster]

Please welcome another complete Patch Collection for the Prophet VS. Thanks to the deep diving I did creating these patches, I have learnt a lot about this synth, which to be honest, I had underrated until now.

32 patches, free to download and pay what you want.

Hey @Funtmaster

Great stuff!
A little preoccupied this afternoon, but will have a good look and listen when possible.

I’m sure they’re up to your usual high standards too!

Some are surprising and just tweaking the macros isn’t enough; one must try the joystick.
I’m more into pads, keys, textures in general. The soft lead No Trees to hide has an unstable ring reminiscent of BOC.

[Funtmaster]

Thanks - I will take BOC as a huge compliment

Maybe we should raise a request for the Keylab series to include a joystick. After all, both the Prophet VS and Synthi V use one…

[francoise]

If it was not a compliment, I would keep it for myself.
I enjoy this kind of slightly “wobbly” sound.
The Astrolabs don’t have joysticks. Can’t the macros be used to simulate a joystick?

[Funtmaster]

Not the macros but you can assign MIDI to the X and the Y movements of the joystick. I just tried assigning them to two knobs on my Keylab and although a little awkward, it works. So, you could also assign the mod wheel for example to X or Y.

[francoise]

A little awkward since you have to turn two different knobs simultaneously; not really a joystick.

[Funtmaster]

I agree. There is always this sort of thing:

Usb Joystick Midi Controller for KORG Wavestation and DAW control | eBay UK

Though for that money I could get:

Korg MC-1 microKontrol Midi Studio Controller 37 Keys USB Keyboard Controller ...

Which would be nice as I have the Korg Legacy Collection

[francoise]

I’ve seen the Korg MC-1 microKontrol in an Astrolab 37 review in the last few days but I can’t remember which review.
I had a Wavestation and I gave it away!!! The Korg Legacy collection had a good emulation of the Wavestation.
I’m rediscovering the Prophet Vs V.

I once wrote to Dave Smith, father of the Wavestation and the Prophet, at the beginning of the 2000s to tell him how great his Evolver monosynth was. I had (still have) the #200 (±).

Actually, the default MIDI mapping in Analog Lab / AstroLab for Prophet VSV presets has Joystick X on MIDI CC73 and Joystick Y on MIDI CC75, which are by default assigned to Fader 1 and 2 on all KeyLabs.

Thank you!
