What the @#$% is Synth Explorer?

What is Synth Explorer?

Synth Explorer is a modern editor and librarian designed for Sequential and Oberheim synthesizers. It brings the OB-6, TEO-5, Prophet-6, and Prophet-5/10 Rev4 together in a unified workspace where musicians can share and convert programs across synths. Save a program to your shared library and Synth Explorer automatically converts it for every supported synth. Audition sounds across your instruments, or create new ones with built-in sound design tools and a real-time editor that stays in sync with your hardware and lets you control your synth from your computer.

What synthesizers do you currently support?

Synth Explorer supports the OB-6, TEO-5, Prophet-6, and Prophet-5/10 Rev4.

How can I share sounds between my OB-6, TEO-5, Prophet-6, and Prophet-5/10 Rev4?

When you save or import a sound to the shared library, Synth Explorer automatically converts it for the OB-6, TEO-5, Prophet-6, and Prophet-5/10 Rev4. You can audition the sound on any supported synth, explore it in the panel editor, and upload it to your hardware. Each instrument brings its own character to the sound, turning every preset into a new starting point for discovery and sound design.

Can I import a SysEx file with multiple programs?

Yes. Upload a compatible .syx file with one program or a whole bank. Synth Explorer imports every program at once and automatically creates OB-6, TEO-5, Prophet-6, and Prophet-5/10 Rev4 versions in your shared library, up to your plan's library limit.

Can I use factory sounds from other synths on mine?

You only need one supported synth to explore sounds from all of them. Every program saved to your shared library is automatically converted for each supported synth. Import programs directly from your hardware or load SysEx files from sound designers to discover new sounds for your instrument. Synth Explorer also includes 1,456 factory programs from the OB-6, TEO-5, Prophet-6, and Prophet-5/10 Rev4. Use these built-in backups to restore your synth's original factory sounds, or explore programs from synths you don't own and turn them into something new.
