Critic Reviews

DSI Prophet 12 Module review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Sequential Prophet-12 Desktop Synthesizer packs a powerful punch with its robust build and flexible sound engine, matching its keyboard counterpart. Its compact form is perfect for musicians on the go, offering wide, rich sounds that do justice to the Prophet legacy. However, the streamlined design sacrifices real-time controls, which may deter those who prefer hands-on tweaking during live performances. The lack of direct filter and amp envelope controls is a notable downside, especially at its high price point. While the P12M shines in portability and sound, its interface might not satisfy those seeking a more tactile experience.
