Designed for the studio or live performance, the Sequential Prophet X is a bi-timbral, 8-voice-stereo (16-voice mono) synth with an innovative sound engine that powers two simultaneous 16-bit, 48 kHz sample-based instruments plus two high-resolution digital oscillators, which are all processed through analog filters. This versatile instrument combines samples + synthesis into a potent fusion well suited for traditional instruments such as piano, electric piano, organ, drums, strings, and guitar, as well as complex pads, effects, and evolving textures.

The Prophet X utilizes 150 GB of internal samples from highly-respected sound developers 8Dio, who pioneered the deep-sampling technique to create remarkably realistic sounds. An additional 50 GB of internal storage is dedicated to importing external sample libraries, while support for user-created samples is slated for the end of 2018.

At the heart of the Prophet X’s powerful sound are its newly developed 24 dB per octave resonant low-pass filters, which are based on a vintage design. The separate left and right filters are designed for a true stereo signal path and designed to add depth and impact to both the samples and the digital oscillators. Additional features include four syncable LFOs with slew and phase offset, four loopable five-stage envelope generators, and a 16-slot mod matrix with 28 sources and 88 destinations. The onboard polyphonic step sequencer provides 64-steps with up to 6-notes per step. It is possible to create a different sequence for each layer when working in stacked or split voice mode. Both the sequencer and arpeggiator feature external MIDI clock synchronization.

Dual effects engines provide multiple reverbs, two delays (standard and BBD), chorus, phase shifter, flanger, vintage speaker rotator, high-pass filter, and distortion. In stacked or split mode, you can apply two different effects to each layer and effects parameters can be modulated via the mod matrix. The Sequential Prophet X includes a standard IEC power cord.

        Q: 1. What is the platform diameter for this tripod? I want to be sure that my 60mm diameter levelbase and tripod head are not too large in diameter.

        A: The head platform on the FLM CP30-M5 Hybrid Series II Tripod is 59mm. So, a head that is 60mm will be fine.

        Q: 2. What ballhead (Arca compatible) do you recommend for this? I'm usually mounting Fuji X-T3and 70-300.

        A: There are a boatload of great choices that'll work for you, your X-T3 + 70-300 and the CP30-M5 tripod! Here are some good options: https://bhpho.to/3BnYBc6 https://bhpho.to/3BmNfVK https://bhpho.to/3wrf5Pm (comes with arca-swiss QR plate)

        Q: 3. can I use the RRS BH-55 or Robus RTH-1050 with the FLM CP30-M5 Hybrid tripod?

        A: Yes RRS BH-55 or Robus RTH-1050 do fit the FLM CP30-M5 Hybrid tripod.

        Q: 4. What are the differences between the Deluxe and Standard versions?

        Q: 5. Will the flex shooter mini or pro fit better with this Apex?

        A: Flex shooter mini or pro will both work well on FLM CP30-M5 Hybrid Series II Tripod. If you have a heavy and long lens like the Nikon AF-S 800mm 5.6 lens I would recommend the Pro and if you have a lighter and smaller Sony 200-600 6.3 lens I would recommend the Mini.

        Q: 6. Will the larger iPad Pro 12.9" work with this unit when using it as a teleprompter?

        A: The Glide Gear Face-2-Face Interview Periscope & Teleprompter Hybrid supports mobile devices measuring between 3 and 9" wide when you hold them in portrait mode.

        Q: 7. Just wondering if the interviewer is located remote, why not just use a teleprompter?

        A: Glide Gear Face-2-Face Interview Periscope & Teleprompter Hybrid (B&H# GLF2F50) may be used either (1) as a teleprompter or (2) as a tool to be able to have an interviewee look directly into the lens of the camera while seeing the (reflected) image of the interviewer superimposed on the glass in front of the camera. The point of the latter use case is to make interviews feel more natural to the interviewee while still being able to have a camera right in front of them.

        Q: 8. What's the maximum size iPad it will take? My iPad Pro is 8.75 x 11....

        A: The Glide Gear Face-2-Face Interview Periscope & Teleprompter Hybrid can support devices measuring between 3 and 9".

        Q: 9. How does this compare to the eye direct?

        A: It's a decent option for an inexpensive system, but the Eyedirect system is an entirely different level of craftsmanship and design. Both have their own levels and if your project is simple and you're looking to stay within a conservative budget, then the Glide Gear will be a decent choice.

        Q: 10. will this work with Bose 5 series accourstic ?
