via the seller "Semi-modular analog synthesizer, many people think it's an Oberheim SEM clone - yes, there are many similarities, but it's not the same. It's a fantastic analog synthesizer, I have two of them and decided to say good buy to one. Has rack ears and wodden side panels. It's V1, and I think the only difference is that it doesn't have ring modulator - add a pedal for that and you'll be all set if you need that. Produces unique sounds, you will be amazed...

The KORG PROPHECY was among the first "Virtual Analog" synthesizers from the mid to late 90s, and is one of my favorite synths due to it's truly extensive architecture. It remains one of the more complex and unique sounding "Physical Modeling" Synthesizers ever made."
