2010 NAMM Show: Arturia is now shipping Prophet-V version 2.

Here’s what they have to say about Prophet-V v2.0:

We have taken the first and the last synthesizers created by Sequential Circuits and brought them to you in an easy to use software instrument format. As with all other soft synths created by Arturia, we bring you replicas of the Prophet-5 and Prophet VS both visually and sonically. Using the PROPHET V will be second nature for the connoisseurs. And if you are new to these synths, the only thing you will miss by not having the hardware versions is the workout from transporting them to the studio. Finally, since the PROPHET V is designed with Arturia’s TAE technology, you can be sure you will not give up sound quality.

Version 2.0 is a free upgrade. Details on version 2.0 below.
