Replacing the Main Board in a Sequential Prophet 5/10
video upload by Retrothusiast
"I had to replace the main board in my Sequential Prophet 10 because when the Rev 1/2 filters were selected, some of the notes would drop out. This is, however, after I had already replaced this keyboard because my first keyboard would not stay in tune. I'll be posting another video touching on this in the near future.
Sequential sent me new boards and I recorded a quick, down and dirty video documenting the procedure for anyone else who might have to replace their boards and wanted to see what's involved.
I followed these instructions provided by Sequential Support:

Hats off to Sequential Support. This company really is top-notch and despite the issues I had with the hardware, I can tell the Sequential team really cares and is extremely helpful and supportive! Thank you, Sequential!"

Seeing the nearly empty interior of a Prophet 10 reminds me of the saying "Never meet your heroes." It's like those old western towns with all the false front buildings. There is almost the impression that there is nothing behind it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, when I opened her up and saw all that free space, I was a little confused. But given they can squeeze the Prophet 10 into a relatively tiny desktop module, it makes sense.
