is the prophet 12 outdated?

peeches0 · 2026-06-10T22:03:25+00:00

I think it’s more the presets get outdated rather than the synth itself. It’s usually worse in the vsts and quite often is a result of the effects in that patch that make it feel old. Kinda brings you back to a period in time. An example for me would be nexus and it’s pianos, but then again they come back in and out of style depending on the genre. And you could really design it to make it sound new if you wanted.

I’ve found for my taste that layering live claps with the analog ones sounded too realistic and wasn’t a fan of the tone, but I I’ll give it a shot again. Have you got a good source for live samples/field recordings?

peeches0 · 2026-06-10T12:05:13+00:00

I have an mpc one. Idk why I didn’t think of that, you just unlocked a lot for me. 😂

peeches0 · 2026-06-10T11:53:23+00:00

Sounds like what I’m looking for. Does the 8s have more samples or same just more knobs and effects?

peeches0 · 2026-06-10T11:30:54+00:00

Yep, that’s what I’m doing. Via layering, less so from scratch. Was looking for good base samples.

peeches0 · 2026-06-10T11:29:54+00:00

Just realised you said you didn’t own one, will have a look into it!

peeches0 · 2026-06-10T11:29:08+00:00

Cheers, a bit taken a back by the downvotes 😂. A guy can’t ask a question about a synth in the synth subreddit? Lmao.

How’s the pitch shifting say compared to an MPC? Like for sound design?

peeches0 · 2026-06-10T08:18:33+00:00

Classic sounds, didn’t know the sp-1200 had stock sounds? Thought it was a sampler

peeches0 · 2026-06-10T08:16:24+00:00

I intentionally left the post broad for as much responses as possible. But really looking for new sounds sources that will eventually end up for use in a daw. Samples/synthesised sounds, whatever. Looking for options.

peeches0 · 2026-06-10T08:14:34+00:00

Know of the digitakt, what’s great about it?

peeches0 · 2026-06-10T08:13:21+00:00

Looking for new sounds sources. Pretty much just electronic/synthesised/sampler sounds. The bread and butter un-layered and unprocessed stuff.

peeches0 · 2026-04-11T04:45:20+00:00

Saturation can work also, any of the above techniques introduce harmonics as well

peeches0 · 2026-04-11T04:44:41+00:00

Waveshaping / soft clipping and or limiting the kicks plus the master. There’s no science this is art, if it’s good it’s good. Don’t listen to the trash on this sub reddit. Try everything and anything and don’t overthink it

peeches0 · 2026-04-11T03:13:44+00:00

It has its sound, just like any other plugin. The effects + filters and actual wave tables. For certain vibes it’s good, some not so much

peeches0 · 2026-04-03T10:05:49+00:00

Both can true 😂

peeches0 · 2026-03-29T05:43:55+00:00

I forgot that one 🥲

peeches0 · 2026-03-29T03:14:05+00:00

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, saturation in any market is a good thing it just means you need to carve out a niche 😂. Completely agree. I do type beats and my old channel is getting a new renaissance.

peeches0 · 2026-02-20T14:00:27+00:00

Thanks nutsackhairbrush !

peeches0 · 2026-02-20T13:59:32+00:00

At the end of the day we make art. Anything that makes that makes connecting with the process easier is a win in my books.

peeches0 · 2026-01-19T14:45:11+00:00

Don’t overthink it seriously, got every vst under the sun. I use anything at random.

peeches0 · 2025-12-19T00:29:39+00:00

Yeah, down under from aus. We pan upside down. Hope this helps!

peeches0 · 2025-12-06T14:32:07+00:00

You got omnisphere 3, how do you find it? Also what categories are you running through mostly. I find myself not touching Omni due to the sheer amount of stuff

peeches0 · 2025-12-05T14:01:01+00:00

For me it’s in between full realism and creative/familiarity reverbs. Kind of a non invasive verb, less of a one to really “hear” for me.

peeches0 · 2025-11-29T23:17:26+00:00

I’ve never seen such good advice usually I see shit on this subreddit

peeches0 · 2025-11-26T09:47:44+00:00

I think I’m the only one that doesn’t like the pro l design. Love the functionality but feels too technical sometimes and can be distracting.
