I never owned one myself, but a friend provided different releases of the original Prophet 5, all were midified. Some were good, other were bad. However, since the original Prophet 5 doesn't sound as fat as e.g. original Oberheim synths, I suspect that it is an analog synth, that is qualified to be fully replaced by a virtual synth. I even like the Arturia iSEM, despite it can't compare to the fatness of the sound my real Matrix-1000 generates. OTOH the Roland Juno-106 is also not one of the analog synth with the fattest sound and IMO the virtual Epic synth isn't able to completely replace the original, but it's still nice that it is available, since I also never owned one myself, just borrowed one from another friend. I wonder if there is a JX-3P emulation available, that does provide some unique JX-3P sounds, that seemingly could be generated by some older Roland synth, too. Unfortunately I don't know exactly which of the older Roland synth do that, without watching videos of German synth music old hands. Hard to do for me, since I often like the sound of the synth, but not the music of those musicians. Btw. I once watched a concert were Joe Zawinul played without Weather Report. He replaced typically Prophet 5 alike sounds with a more modern synth that sounded disgusting, at least as a replacement for those Prophet sounds.
