"This is one of those "must have" synthesizers for those of you who play out often! This is my highly modified "Psychedelic pop art" Sequential Prophet 600, the earliest synthesizer with MIDI. All of the black paint has been removed to reveal the bare metal surface. This includes any factory markings of control knobs, etc. (You can easily make a control template and lay it over the controls in order to identify them). The membrane touch pad has also been painted over to obscure the numerals. Finally, the keys have been painted with day-glo paints. When put under a black light onstage this synth is amazing. The synth is in good working order,all controls work, and it is loaded with a set of my bizarre patches created with an editor program (Midi Quest) It has also had the oscillators detuned to give it an earth-shattering bottom-end. The oscillators can easily be returned to normal with a simple adjustment."
looks like puke
ReplyDeleteWhy do people do this and think it looks good? It's not psychedelic, it's shite!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like some of my youngest children got a hold of it. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhy not circuit bend it and have done. I'll give you a tenner
ReplyDeleteI prefer to believe that it's fire damaged, and the remarkable thing about it is that it still works.
ReplyDeleteLooks more lilke vandalism than art.
ReplyDeleteThen don't buy it.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, no labels, random patches, detuned oscillators... Still a bit too playable if you ask me. I suggest supergluing the keys down, suspending the whole synth in a tank full of venomous spiders, then setting fire to it. Then buy an accordion.
ReplyDeleteAnd they want at least $650!?!?!?! I'd give them $150 $200 max. Should be sold as working spares or repair nobody seriously thinks this is cool do they!?!? Its bad enough when people do it properly. Reminds me of that Russian synth that guy tried to make look like a DX-7a1
