Twisted Electrons has introduced Professor – a software synth for iPad, inspired by the classic Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 analog synthesizer.
Little in the way of specs has been provided by the developer, but they note that it is MIDI & AudioBus ready.
Professor is US $5.99 in the App Store.
If you’ve used Professor, let us know what you think of it!
Whew!! It’s $5.99 in the app store…
$599 seems a little costly for an app.
Pretty sure that price should be $5.99, not $599 🙂
I MISSED MY PERIOD!
If you missed a period you should really see your OBGYN.
Ok, Ok. Say it, don’t SPRAY it. :I
I’m really excited about this – the original Prophet V is on so many of my favorite records of all time.
It sounds a little weak. Does a real Prophet 5 really sound line this, before effects are added?
If you think a Prophet 5 sounds ANYthing like this, you have never heard a real synthesizer. Laughable, really.
That top row of controls looks too close to the edge to allow for a full range of control. Has anyone tried it?
Got it, dissapointed. Had a few quid left on iTunes card so grabbed it and its not all that.
The UI is claustrophobic and the sounds are not the best
I guess it’s “ok”, but when u have nave/Thor/animoog/Magellan//alchemy/all the other great iOS synths , things like this are very lame
Not worthy of a hard on this:(
I wish NI would make an iPad version of their Pro 53 Synth – a Prophet 5 emulation – as they discontinued it years ago.
Yeah, my immediate thought was to dig out an ancient copy of Komplete and see how it sounds versus Pro 53.
Pro 52 sounds – to my ears, at least – most like Prophet 5. The nearest to the Prophet 5 sound I’ve heard on iOS is Rolf Wohrmann’s NLog synth.
The last two apps I tried from this company turned out to be little more than a pile of unusable presets (crud, sidpad). Not what I would even call a synth, nevermind a proper emulator. Is this going to be any different?
Me stupid. The app is called GRIT, not crud. Same thing.
If one is going to use the Prophet V namesake aligned with their app then that app better be swinging for the fences — early reports are suggesting this one might not be ready to use that name – sadly
to check out the guy’s work, i downloaded studio 1111 free – tb 303 and tr 808 (therefore the name). not bad, but not good either. am missing a lot of features (midi, fx…). cannot see exactly these in the screenshots of professor either. guess they are not there. so, no proper midi, no fx, no sequencer or arpeggiator. too basic to be useful, really. and the sound, well, doesn’t convince me. but this, of course, is a matter of taste.
I haven’t been that knocked out by iPad synths. Of the ones I’ve tried, my favorites are Thor, Alchemy, Sunrizer and Cassini.
Come on….
We live in the 21st century. Where is the innovation? Only the variation of the name makes it even no good synth. No chance against SunSyn, Nave, Addictive-Synth, Thor or ISEM…. 5.99 for this kinda-sounding app…. fortget about it….
Sounds a load of rubbish. These apps should have a sequencer built in. I think Korg have got the right idea with ipad apps, just love the ipolysix and gadget. There needs to be more complete studio apps, something like reason…
When someone writes an article he/she maintains the image of a user in his/her
mind that how a user can be aware of it. Therefore that’s why this post is outstdanding.
Thanks!
