The two oscillators, named A and B, can generate saw waves and variable-width pulse waves. Oscillator B also includes a triangle wave. One of the unique features that made this synth famous is that each oscillator can simultaneously play multiple waveforms, resulting in a unique, full-bodied, and rich identifying sound. In the oscillator B section, there is a switch called \u003cstrong\u003eLOW FREQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e once activated, it will reproduce very low frequencies, making it usable as an LFO. With the dedicated \u003cstrong\u003eDETUNE\u003c\/strong\u003e knob, you can vary the pitch of oscillator B by approximately a semitone relative to oscillator A. As in previous versions, this Rev 4 also includes the ability to synchronize oscillator A to oscillator B to create complex sounds rich in harmonics. When we activate the \u003cstrong\u003eUnison\u003c\/strong\u003e function, the \u003cstrong\u003eProphet 5\u003c\/strong\u003e acts as a monophonic synth: it plays only one note at a time. Use it to create full-bodied, impressive basses and leads, dedicating all five voices to a single note: 10 oscillators per key! Holding down the Unison button will activate the \u003cstrong\u003eChord Memory\u003c\/strong\u003e function to store the intervals between notes of a chord, then transpose and replay them starting from the note (root) you play.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Filter Section of the Prophet 5 Rev 4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSSM 2040\u003c\/strong\u003e chip used for the filters in the \u003cstrong\u003eProphet 5 Rev 1\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eRev 2\u003c\/strong\u003e was highly regarded; however, it was not particularly stable and functional. The chip in the third version, the \u003cstrong\u003eCEM 3320\u003c\/strong\u003e, in addition to its distinctive sonic footprint, made a fundamental contribution to the instrument's stability and reliability. The characteristics of these two chips were similar: both created a \u003cstrong\u003e4-pole resonant low-pass filter\u003c\/strong\u003e, but with different sonic results.

True to the original, the modulation sources are the filter envelope and oscillator B. Destinations include oscillator A frequency, oscillator A pulse width, and filter cutoff. It's called Poly-Mod (polyphonic modulation) because the Prophet can play up to five voices, meaning each voice will apply the programmed modulation to the selected destination. For example, if we set oscillator B to LO FREQ mode, we will have just created 5 LFOs: one per voice. At this point, we activate keyboard tracking, and each of these LFOs will modulate the destination with a different frequency speed from note to note. The range of possible sounds defies its simplicity.
