Louis currently performs extensively in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. He continues to broaden his fan base with his energetic and compelling blend of jazz, r&b, funk, latin, and classical styles. His original compositions feature bold melodies and rhythms, a unique breadth of musical language, and a mastery of modern synth media.<\/span><\/p>\n We chatted\u00a0with Louis about how he’s\u00a0using the\u00a0Prophet 12.<\/p>\n Louis, what made you choose the Prophet 12?<\/span><\/p>\n “It is the ideal synthesizer. Digital front end with analog back end. It has immense sonic power, limitless sound design potential, and high-quality sound. It’s versatile\u00a0and has absolute clarity of design, technically and user interface-wise. The Prophet 12 module’s\u00a0solid, durable form factor also suggests long-term reliability. And DSI headquarters made a good impression on me.”<\/span><\/p>\n How are you using it?<\/span><\/p>\n “I play and record it in my studio almost daily. It’s\u00a0that inspiring. Its design allows me to create and use it as an inexhaustible source of inspiration. It’s\u00a0a perfect match for\u00a0my multi-stylistic musical needs.“<\/span><\/p>\n What\u2019s one of your favorite things about it?<\/span><\/p>\n “Instant access to all parameters via external MIDI CCs while its front-panel\u00a0features are only one or two buttons or\u00a0knob adjustments away.”<\/span><\/p>\n What does it give you that other synths might not?<\/span><\/p>\n “The Prophet 12 stands out as the most interesting synth on Earth. I like the digital oscillators with feedback, analog filters, unique effects, musically useful distortion, and vast modulation matrix. I can radically alter\u00a0a sound\u00a0faster than ever before. It has a very wide sonic range.”<\/span><\/p>\n Any interesting Prophet 12 tricks or techniques you\u2019d like to share?<\/span><\/p>\n “Tweaking the wave shape modulation, feedback, and effects is worth exploring in depth. I find very unique and interesting\u00a0electronic or “organic” sounds every time I use it.”<\/p>\n Check out Louis’\u00a0music\u00a0here<\/span><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For more information, check out the Prophet 12\u00a0product page\u00a0here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n
