It works great, and sounds better than any synth you have ever heard, HONESTLY. This once is a rare piece, sometime along the way a previous owner had cut off the second tier keyboard, effectively making it a single tier Prophet 10. This modification in no way hinders the performance of the synth, in fact I think the single tier version is optimal. This synth works PERFECTLY, keeps amazing tune and functions day in and day out. This Prophet 10 has MIDI, although I am not sure how to engage the MIDI, or rather how to get it to function. The repair tech had told me that the MIDI passes and should be functioning, yet it is not engaged, most likely a simple fix. Besides the MIDI, this synth is perfect inside and out. Looks great, every button and knob functions as you would expect and as I have previously stated, nothing comes close to this piece in sound. If in NYC, local pickup would be amazing, will ship globally." This one spotted and sent in by dump.fm.
Very cool idea - looks to be done well too. The only thing I'd do to improve the aesthetics would be to add a wooden strip across the bare area above the keyboard - to make it look similar to the P5. The mount the name-plate on the strip afterwards to complete the look.
ReplyDeleteRidiculous. A full Prophet 10 goes for significantly less than that.I wonder how Upper/Lower are implemented ? More than likely limits you to dual mode. The sequencer is gone as well. Perhaps a new trend...hack a classic keyboard and remove features then charge more $$ :(
