Sunday Synth Jam: This video captures a live performance, by Daniel Davis, on the Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 12.
Technical details:
Live improv performance, featuring Prophet 12, Pigtronix Infinity Looper, Strymon Bigsky, and Eventide Modfactor.
The Prophet 12 is a great synth. I hope to own one some day.
As for this being a live performance (to use poor grammar), it ain’t all live.
Yes it is. 100% live. Nothing pre-recorded no sequences. All live playing and live looping.
That sounds beautiful.
I enjoyed the ambient soundscape, thanks.
That’s not just a full and engaging piece; it also shows off several aspects of the P-12 at once. It not only gives good Ambient, like most any synth can do, but I can hear its potential for other styles. You can give a Prophet patch a serious edge, but here, you get a good taste of its full/round side. You can hear its base voice well. You always hear some moaning about the audio quality in videos, but I listen on headphones for critical things and this demo didn’t have a blemish. I’m a serious proponent of laying hands to a new instrument before you buy it, but between Dave’s known high build quality and this kind of video, it makes it a lot easier to do a Hail Mary and buy some things unseen in person, like a P-12 or P-6. Classy work, Daniel.
