"Prophet 5 rev. 3.3 with MIDI i/o. Just overhauled last week by Greg Montalbano, who specializes in prophet 5's. See his website at analogsynthservicedotcom. This synth comes with a 1 year warranty from Greg (he lives in my town should you ever need assistance).
The keyboard bushings were changed. Whole synth given a deep cleaning, battery replaced, changed a few IC's, recapped the board, rebuilt the powersupply. Tuned and scaled the synth. Factory Sequential circuits midi option installed. All 120 factory presets loaded. This rev 3.3 version has the most patch memory out of all of prophet 5's.
This keyboard plays like it just left the factory. Comes with very heavy duty anvil case. Pictures speak a thousand words, so please have a look at the ones I have included. The picture of the synth in it's case shows the included: midi i/o instructions (very easy), and a bag of all of the dead parts that the tech replaced. The tech mentioned that this prophet has had very little use in its lifetime.
The sound: I have been impressed how thick the lowend is on this synth. You can get very moogy bass sounds... then go a step further by pressing the unison button! I have come close to blowing my speakers, this synth is so full range compared to a roland/korg analog poly. Definately has very versatile sound that doesnt sound overtly techno, or hiphop, etc. Which explains the timeless nature of this beast..."
