"Here's noodling on fancy gear for 45 min. It's a Prophet 5 rev. 2 through an RE-301 tape delay, SBF-325 stereo flanger/chorus, Louder Than Liftoff Silver Bullet and Audioscape Buss Compressor. The Osmose is MIDI controlling the P5. No Osmose audio here. The 325, when engaged, was only used for subtle stereo imaging so no focus on flanging or chorus in this video.

Just got the Rev. 2 back from Greg M. in Oakland. It has been a privilege to have him work on it as he is (AFAK) the foremost P5 Rev. 2 expert in the world. He did some amazing work, especially on the power supply and MIDI kit install. Thank you Greg, you make the synth world a better place.

Now that I have my hands on this board I can honestly say that, in my opinion, the Prophet 5 Rev. 2 is not overrated. The hype is real. It may not be evident in this video but if you've played synths for a while and sit down to one of these, you will know.

Ok, the gear is admittedly too good for my poor playing skills. Oh well. It just seemed like there should be more Rev. 2 footage out there considering its reputation. Also, the camera turned off and it took me about 5 min to notice so there no video towards the middle. Sorry."
