The instrument recreates the original Sequential Prophet-5 sound and adds modern features. It includes the sound of all three revisions, Rev.1, Rev.2 and Rev.3, plus 38 original factory presets and more than 420 modern patches. Two selectable effects slots offer Chorus, Phaser, Distortion, Multimode Filtering, Tremolo and Compressor. Dedicated Delay, Reverb and Pan Spread effects are also included.

Layers offer up to ten voices each. They can be split across the keyboard or used in Alternate mode to switch between two layers while playing. X-Modifiers provides dedicated envelopes and LFOs for almost every parameter. Other features include full MPE support, an arpeggiator and chord mode for each layer, a scalable high-resolution interface, a preset browser with tags and search, and extensive MIDI CC mapping.
