Sweet Spots

You cannot beat 2 plugins for the price of one. Both offer tons of features and is very simple to use. U-he prob makes the best synth plugins to date and all come highly recommended.

Sounds like a prophet

Returned a Prophet-10 rev4 because of this

Great synth in a sea of VSTs

Repro is without a doubt, one of the best VST plugins around.

It’s an excellent interface, very intuitive.

If you are looking for instrument that has the Prophet sound from the 80s, this is the way to go.

A superb sounding synth

The raw sound that comes out of this synth is just brilliant. I make shoegaze/dreampop, and the pads in particular sound so warm, full and just plain awesome! The effects sound fine, although I tend to use other effects if I'm to be honest. They are certainly not bad though, I just tend to have quite specific tastes with FX.

Worth bearing in mind that it can be a pretty resource hungry synth, but if you are after that vintage analog sound, u-he have nailed it - you really can't go wrong with this synth. Highly recommended.

Analog Effect

Powerful analogue sound extremely identical with some of hardware synths. Classic view of main panel looks great, but the tweaks panel is getting you inside the body and soul of the Repro synth. So useful sequencer with 2 patterns that can be set up to 32 steps each. It's making variety of the melodic sounds and bass lines creation so far as you can imagine. Internal effects are raw and unique. Repro supports NKS format and can be controlled by NI Komplete Kontrol hardware. Product is perfect.

Excellent soft-synth

This is probably the best simulation for hardware synth available on the market. Sound is huge (fat, thick etc.). This synth does not require any additional processing and it sounds good from scratch, even single waveforms sound good. It's a dream synth for anyone who is looking for 'that retro sound' of older synths. I'm using it mostly for Synthwave/Retro music and I think that it's the best place for it. But it can also produce modern sound to.

The only one con is CPU consumption but it's the price for quality in the sound so it's not fault of plugin itself.

it's great synth for anyone who wants to have powerful retro sound especially that it comes with great presets. I would put sound designers on second place as it's quite limited synth faithful to original Prophet.
