Do you mean the pulsating bass line? That's a typical Saw Tooth bass sound through a low
pass filter - probably 12db/octave, maybe 242db/octave. You'll probably want to adjust
Key Tracking accordingly to get the staccato effect in the upper registers.
The pad sounds seems to be a string ensemble of some sort - I suggest you check out the
softsynth Cheeze Machine from Big Tick (available for both Win/Mac.) The counterpart to
tge bass line sounds like a clavinet to me - or perhaps a fair impression. Big Tick also has
a softsynth Ticky Clav which is pretty decent

Yes. Init a Voice using the Bass preset and reduce the FC Decay and Release settings to
taste. Choose a LPF12 and reduce the FC value while adjusting the Res to start. I would
raise the pitch of Osc2 to '0 and rasie the VCO2 level to get a decent blend. You'll want to
twek the AMp env to suit and maybe apply short delay. This will get you in the
neighborhood if nothng else.

Most decent VAs will do this, the actual sound iteself is probably a Moog or Arp and not a
Prophet5. You might want to check out the recent offerings from Arturia:
http://www.arturia.com/en/I would not mind having their Moog Modular V but I'm a bit top heavy with soft synths and
effects right now and I've recently spotted a sample cd to add to the Want List..maybe later
this year.
