(ok, a little over-dramatic) But still, 2 Prophet 5s in a box. 2 assignable manuals (saved with each upper/lower program) 10 voices - 4 voice assignment algorithms Basic Prophet5 architecture with the following changes/additions MONO-Mod is programmable (no pink noise modulation source) Upper and Lower LFOs can be mixed into one voice board Upper LFO has a inverted sawtooth waveform Upper/Lower Tuning and Balance between voice boards Programmable EQ (low,mid,high) on both voice boards Programmable pedal inputs Polysequncer assigned to lower voice board MIDI support OMNI/POLY modes supported Upper board assigned to Channel 1 in Poly mode Lower board assigned to Channel 6 in Poly mode These channels can be reversed, but thats about it. Will receive and transmit notes and program change Real-Time LFO NOT supported. (No room for it in ROM!) A Pocket Filter(tm) will be included free of charge. Most Modern sequencers with real-time or active sensing will swamp the sh*t out of the P10 without this. Price $980 Warning: Shipping weight in flight case: 185 lbs.

I notice that Skinny >Puppy uses a 10 as opposed to a T8. The Prophet-10's modulation section is organized differently from the T8's, into what's called poly-mod and mono-mod. The mono-mod section allows for the modulation routings we're used to on analog synths, routing LFOs and suchlike to various destinations. I have been told by a number of Prophet-5 owners that the modulation routings on the 5 (and 10?) allow noise to be used as a modulation source, a feature useful for adding "grit" to some sounds and sadly missing from the T8. In my opinion, this is relatively well-covered-for by the velocity, pressure, and LFO modulation capabilities of the T8, whose dymanically sensitive keyboard allows for a bit more realtime control than the 5 or 10 had. Unfortunately, I've never had a T8 and a 10 side by side for an A/B test, so the sound quality issue is unresolved. One thing they DO have in common, though; you don't want to move them around very much.
