Sequential Prophet-6 Synthesizer Keyboard Overview
The Sequential Prophet 6 is a modern reimagining of the legendary Prophet 5, combining the best elements of that classic synth with fresh features such as studio-quality effects, aftertouch sensitivity, a BPM syncable LFO, polyphonic step sequencing and more.
Premium Keyboard
This is the Keyboard version of Sequential’s Prophet-6 and it’s the one we’d recommend if you need an all-in-one synth solution for live performance & studio use. The Prophet-6 Keyboard features a premium Fatar TP/9S, which is semi-weighted and feels great to play - whether you’re pulling off complex chording or an expressive solo. Its four-octave size presents a solid balance between portability & playability and its velocity-sensitivity & channel aftertouch capabilities mean you can use Prophet-6’s sound engine to its full potential. The P-6 Keyboard is also equipped with robust pitch and modulation wheels, which have a smooth action and are backlit for when you’re performing in darker environments.
Sequential have housed the P6 Keyboard within a sturdy metal chassis that’s ready to withstand the rigours of regular live use. The luxurious walnut trim & end cheeks give it the sophisticated look of a vintage synth and the brassy Sequential & Prophet badges are a distinctive seal of quality.
If you’re in the market for a high-performance synth that can deliver both classic analogue sound and modern functionality, the Sequential Prophet 6 Keyboard is a fantastic choice.
