Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Sequential’s Prophet-6 is a six-voice analog synthesizer with voltage-controlled oscillators, filters, and amplifiers, plus continuously variable waveshapes. Each voice carries resonant low-pass and high-pass filters, while its digital effects section adds reverb, delay, chorus, and phase shifting; the analog signal remains bypassed when effects are off. The knob-per-function panel supports immediate programming, and Live Panel mode makes the sound follow the current control positions. A polyphonic 64-step sequencer and MIDI-syncable arpeggiator bring rhythmic patterns into the same hands-on workflow.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Creating MIDI-clock-synced polyphonic sequences with rests and up to six notes on each of 64 steps.
- Building rhythmic arpeggios and repeating patterns from the front panel during performance or programming.
- Moving between 500 factory programs and up to 500 saved user programs while developing parts.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Parts requiring more than six simultaneous voices.
- Keyboard work requiring a range beyond its four-octave layout.
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
24-bit digital effects
Reverb, delay, chorus, and phase-shifter effects are available; true bypass keeps the analog signal path when they are off.

64-step polyphonic sequencer
Sequences can contain rests and up to six notes per step, with external MIDI-clock sync.
Detail 04
Live Panel mode
With Preset switched off, the sound responds directly to the panel’s knob and switch positions.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01External MIDI clock is required when synchronizing the sequencer or arpeggiator to MIDI.
