Sequential Prophet-VS, KORG DW-8000, KAWAI K3 belong to the same category as SQ-80 - Digital wave, analog filter.
Their sound character differ from each other; ESQ-1 has unique modulation power - sync and AM. Its waveforms are mainly mathematically additive, in contrast to DW-8000 and K3. They have additive reconstruction of complex acoustic waveforms. Prophet VS has many metallic additive waveforms.
