I’m also interested in knowing more about filter fm with the digital osc.
Does it sound good?
Does it sound like Prophet 8 filter fm?
Prophet 08 filter fm sounds great, especially with the noise source. P12 filter fm leads to less smooth result, especially with noise source it sounds closer to fast s&h or random modulation. I often use the P12 with filter fm, either with osc or noise osc source, but only small amounts. I wish they kept the dedicated noise source of P08 for the P12, both as audio and mod source. In any case, the P12 is one of the best synths ever, lots of hidden potential in the routings.
I have a Prophet 12 and a Poly Evolver keyboard + Rack for poly chain. The Prophet 12 basic sound is more "hi fi" and smooth. The Evolver is more raw, but can sound deep as well. They are different enough to my ears to keep both.
Hey, thank you!
How do you compare filter fm on both synths?
It’s difficult to find examples of Prophet 12 filter fm...
As far as I can tell, what you want is impossible on a synth with presets unless EVERY recordable control is motorised. If the pots were motorised, hitting a preset would move the pots back to the positions they were in at the moment the preset was saved. (impractical, expensive and unreliable)
As already mentioned by Mefistophelees pass-thru mode allows the pot to be moved and the setting remain unchanged until the pot is moved back into (or passed-through) the position recorded at the moment the preset was saved. Only at this point does the setting begin changing.
Moog also do this, so it's not just a DSI thing. It stems from having to digitally record the positions of analogue controls for later recall.
Pressing the P12's "Show" button allows the user to move a control and have the current setting show on the OLED display WITHOUT altering the preset parameter. Unlike Ableton's Push, the P12's controls are not capacitive and the system can't tell when they're being touched, only when they're being moved; hence the need for the Show button.
Using a combination of pass-thru mode and the Show button will get you close to what you want.
Here's the next 25 Patches in my Bank of sounds for the Prophet 12. 1st patch is interesting as I was challenged to make a Pad that used only 1 Oscillator and it had to be a SINE wave. While not the best patch I've ever made, the tools on board the P12 to add more harmonics and then shape them are really good. Even if I say so myself, I made a some cracking Motion Pads, especially 036 Andromeda and 037 Dark Matter.
I can clearly listen some aliasing. Is this the 11khz spike?
Great sounds, btw!

Can't say I noticed any aliasing when making the patches, unless I used the character controls...which were intentional of course. Might just be YouTube, they do chew audio/video up pretty bad.
I wouldn’t make that impassioned of an argument unless I could back it up, especially if I was attacking the programming skills of others. Put up or shut up. If you’re just going from the weak demos you’ve heard on YouTube of either machine.

First post in the forum, attacking a speculation made on an unreleased synth almost ten years after the comment. Way to go, bro!
