It’s no secret that the Prophet X is Sequential’s most ground-breaking evolution of the Prophet yet. With an ultra-powerful synergy of two simultaneous 16-bit, 48kHz sample-based instruments plus two high-resolution digital oscillators — all processed through analog filters — it covers a vast expanse of sonic and stylistic territory.
To test the limits of what the Prophet X could do in the hands of one of our most talented artist friends, we asked keyboardist/composer/producer J3PO (Julian Pollack) to stretch it in every direction possible. He responded by unleashing his creativity on five original short pieces, inspired and created entirely by the Prophet X.
We share them with you here — proof that the Prophet X can take you anywhere.

1. “Thunder“ — Experimental Trap. A moody showcase of synth build-ups and breakdowns. On display here are sizzling Prophet X electronic drums, tuned percussion, atmospheric pads, and soaring synth leads.
2. “Tribal Feud“ — Cinematic. Equal parts tension and release, this piece is a mini master class in film scoring. It features breathy Prophet X choirs, orchestral-style percussion, sparkling acoustic guitars, and silky synth strings.
3. “Neon Skies“ — Synthwave. With a moody 80’s-style cinematic vibe, this piece showcases powerful Prophet X drums, thick synth bass, a swirling synth pad, and an anthemic synth lead.
4. “Les“ — Progressive Soul. This is a mellow and melodic groove built around the warm textures of Prophet X electric piano, tasty B3-style organ, a lush synth pad, and punchy synth brass.
5. “Home With You“ — Americana. The spotlight here is on an expressive, crystalline solo acoustic guitar, complete with hammer-ons and subtle, slide-type embellishments. This is the Prophet X at its most expressive, with its tonal richness and nuance on full display.
