ProFive - 1.0

The Native Instruments Pro-Five carries on the tradition from the legendary days of vintage cult synthesizers. This virtual instrument, fashioned after the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, combines the sonic properties of the unique originals with the practical requirements of the present day. Inspired by the immortal sound of the synthesizer giants of the eighties, Native Instruments created the Pro-Five, to cast in software those qualities which have been a major influence on popular music in the past twenty years: brilliance, power, warmth and beauty. Through Native Instruments' creative developement philosophy, these timeless aesthetics have now reached the next step in their evolution. The result is the manifest re-definition of an original which was regarded as unrivalled until now. Using Native Instruments' NSP-Technology (Native Signal Processing) it is now possible for the first time to generate a software synthesizer which is an equal to its legendary hardware predecessors. The Native Instruments Pro-Five sets new standards without denying its origins. This is new: No fixed limit to the number of voices, many times more preset memories, velocity sensitivity, MIDI automation of all available parameters and the option to run several Pro-Five's in parallel. The Native Instruments Pro-Five integrates perfectly into the computer based virtual studio. With the popular interface VST 2.0 pioneered by Steinberg, it can be used as a sequenzer plug-in on Macintosh or Windows.
