在1986年夏季,一家著名的美国合成器制造商推出了一款具有显著新声音构建方法的机器,这款机器就是Sequential Prophet VS,而这种方法被称为向量合成。作为当时的一款开创性乐器,至今仍然备受追捧的Prophet VS却命运多舛,其失败标志着Sequential辉煌历史的结束。不用说,Prophet VS的音色范围和灵活性都是非凡的。VS的数字向量合成引擎位于全模拟信号路径之前,搭载了著名的Curtis放大器和滤波器,为其赋予了令人难以置信的温暖和独特的特性,能够产生的声音调色板是巨大的。它不仅提供了一个前所未有的声音世界,还能紧密地模仿模拟经典和现代数字乐器。另一个首创之处是,Prophet VS特别强调对立体声声场的表现控制,带来了极大的深度和维度,这在很大程度上吸引了包括开创性作曲家Vangelis和John Carpenter在内的整个电影作曲家世代的想象力。

In the summer of 1986 a renowned American synth manufacturer released a machine with a remarkable new method of constructing sound, that machine was the Sequential Prophet VS and the method was vector synthesis. A ground-breaking instrument in its time and still sought-after to this day, the Prophet VS was ill-fated and its failure signaled the end of Sequential’s distinguished legacy. Needless to say the tonal range and sheer flexibility of the Prophet VS was brilliant.

The digital vector synthesis engine of the VS was placed in front of an all-analog signal path with renowned Curtis amps and filters giving it incredible warmth and an unmistakable character, the palette of sounds that were possible with it was immense. Not only did it offer a world of never-before heard sounds but it could closely imitate both the analog classics and its modern digital peers alike.

Another first, the Prophet VS saw great emphasis placed on expressive control over a stereo sound stage allowing for great depth and dimension, leading in large part to it capturing the imagination of an entire generation of film composers including the seminal Vangelis and John Carpenter.
