The Prophet 5 by GForce Software

The GForce Software Prophet~5 is the first officially licensed software recreation of the legendary Sequential Prophet~5, developed in partnership with Sequential. Faithfully modeling the Rev1, Rev2, and Rev3 hardware revisions, it captures the distinctive analog character, filter behavior, and musical response that made the original synthesizer a landmark instrument in music history. Alongside the classic architecture and original 1978 factory presets, GForce has added modern enhancements such as dual-layer functionality, advanced modulation, MPE support, and a comprehensive effects section. The result is a software instrument that balances vintage authenticity with contemporary sound-design flexibility for producers, composers, and synthesizer enthusiasts.
