via this auction"Sequential Studio 440 which is a vintage classic drum machine, sampler, sequencer workstation introduced by Sequential (Prophet 5) as the last product they made, originally released in 1986, it's a masterpiece of engineering designed by Dave Smith himself, creator of the Prophet 5
The sound of the 440 is legendary and unique, direct from the early days of hip hop and sample house music, the 440 has an instantly recognizable classic sound as heard on hundreds of hits. I first bought this machine because Mantronik used the 440, I then produced hundreds of tracks using this machine including a Billboard No1 hit. I bought the machine in the UK and recently brought it with me to the US, it is multi voltage and now set to run at US 120v.
The Sequential 440 is such a rare machine now that it is almost impossible to find one working at all, let alone in this great working condition. This is a one owner machine, I have had it since I bought it in 1987 and it has been serviced several times (to have new pads fitted and a check-up) and recently I fitted new rubber pads that are far more durable than the original soft foam ones.
Before the MPC there was the Sequential Studio 440."
