The virtual emulation offered in the Prophet-V is an exact and faithful replica of the original instrument. It uses the same subtractive synthesis model, which refers to the filtering of sounds in a specific way for the creation of rich waveforms and new timbres.
Hybrid mode is an astounding combination of the Prophet 5 and Prophet VS stacked one on top of the other. Thus an entirely new sound palette to mix and blend is at your disposal: the analog subtractive synthesis of the one AND the digital wave-table or vector synthesis of the other.
