"This one was used by the great Herbie Hancock for a concert in Rome in the late 80.

(It was Signed by Mr.Hancock on the front panel...unfortunately a little faded after all over 30 years)

8x analog VCF, 8x analog VCA, extended memory,

unusual for the keyboard version - 8 individual outs are installed.

Everything works great except for one of the eight individual outputs,

which does not play, however the main outputs Left, Right work perfectly.

Anyway, it plays beautifully. The instrument comes with a hard case.

The original Italian owner made a video - demo, which is in the link below."

Sequential Circuits Pro-8 SN 02052

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This synth takes its internals and body work from the better known Split-8 synth from Sequential Circuits.

This electronic keyboard is an 8 voice polyphonic, bi-timbral analog synth with the ability to split or layer two oscillators.

One of the most notable oddities with the Pro 8 is that you can filter FM one patch with the output of another when stacked in double - this creates some very unusual and unique sounds.

The Pro-8 makes for a very nice programmable polyphonic analog synthesizer with complete MIDI implementation. With 8 voices and 8 oscillators (Curtis 3394 SENTE chips) the Pro-8 is a heavy contender against the Roland Juno-106! However programming the synth, while straightforward and intuitive, is limited to adjusting one parameter at a time assigned to one Data knob. This limits performance ability but is no problem during studio use.

The keyboard features splits and layers, all of which can be saved with patch data. Choose between 8 voice polyphony with 1 oscillator per voice, 4 voice polyphony with dual oscillators per voice, 2 voice polyphony with a mega 4 oscillators per voice, or the unison mode which is just a fat 8-voice solo mode for trance bass and lead heaven! Similar to the Juno-106, the Pro-8 uses a Chorus effect to liven up the sounds. Sonically the Pro-8 sounds much 'thinner' than a Roland Juno-106, however, this 'thin' sound is characteristic of Sequential and is quite nice. The wooden side panels definitely give the Pro-8 that vintage flare!"

Sequential Circuits Six Trak Stack Mode Sound

video upload by Rush Sound Design

"One of the best features of the Six Trak is the Stack Mode (the ability to stack 6 different sounds to make it a six voice mono monster synth). Not many videos out there showing off this feature, so i thought i'd make a demo (short and sweet) with one of my favourite stack sounds.

The six sounds on this particular one have the same tone, but they have different tunings (voices 1,2,3 are the same, voices 4 and 5 tuned a fifth higher, voice 6 a 4th higher). The result is a very rich and powerful lead sound.

Software effects used - Soundtoys Super Plate and Roland Juno 60 chorus
The backing percussion is from the Roland V Synth."

Prophet VS Synth: Sound Selection Showcase

video upload by Andy Whitmore

"Analog Synthesizers Rewind: Top 10 Classics!
S1:Ep1 - The first in a series of 11 videos!

Sequential Circuits Prophet VS – All the Best Sounds

Here's a very cool keyboard from Sequential. Notice the joystick for controlling your sound modeling. The Prophet VS uses Vector Synthesis as its revolutionary new means of sound creation. It uses a total of four oscillators per voice with 127 waveforms (32 user) and dynamic waveform crossfading via the joystick. This was Sequential's first digital synth, and it was also their final synth unfortunately. But after Sequential was gone, Vector Synthesis technology went into the popular Korg Wavestation and Yamaha's SY-22 and TG-33.

The Prophet VS is still a very sought after instrument because it has an incredible range of sounds! Its only problem is that there's practically nobody left that can fix it if something went wrong. It is used by Brian Eno, Trent Reznor, Apollo 440, Depeche Mode, Vince Clarke, Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Erasure and filmmaker/composer John Carpenter."

Sequential Circuits Pro-One Vintage Synthesizer Meticulously Refurbished Systematic Test

video upload by tonetweakers

"Here’s the meticulously refurbished sequential circuits pro-one synthesizer we just received a deposit for from one of our customers. In an effort to maintain the highest quality control in the industry, we systematically test most of our high-end items multiple times, over an extended period. After sitting wrapped up in storage for quite some time, this instrument performs flawlessly. Super vigilant synth nerds may notice the drone switch glitched at first - it’s common for switches to do this if they’ve sat unused for a while. This beautiful example of this classic vintage instrument is working perfectly and is sure to make its next owner happy. Contact us through our website if you’d like to buy a pro-one in top shape or various other vintage synths. We work really hard here to make sure our customers get what they paid for, without the surprises or other nonsense typical of most vintage synth sales these days.

1985 Sequential Circuits TOM 4-Voice Drum Machine

via this auction

Additional SYNTH CITY Listings

"Fantastic working unit, fully serviced by our in-house technician. Recapped, all buttons cleaned and rebuilt external power supply. Fully functional.

In 1985, the TOM was a really advanced drum machine, fully programmable and featuring digitally recorded drum sounds. It is similar to the DrumTraks, but much more advanced. Its sound fidelity is very electronic and it offers just eight of the most basic drum kit sounds. However, each drum sound has a much more flexible tune control than any other drum machine of its time, allowing you to change cymbals into gongs, for example. All sounds can also be layered, allowing for chord-like drum tones, tom rolls and all kinds of wacky sounds. You can also play its sounds in reverse and program the pan position and volume of each sound. Sounds on EPROM cartridges can add up to eight additional drum tones for different sounds. This machine is also MIDI equipped, able to transmit and receive all of its controller information including volume and tuning."

Wine Country Sequential Is Winding Down

This the end of an era. Wine Country Sequential was formed by ex Sequential Circuits employees when the original Sequential Circuits went under. They specialized in servicing and providing parts for vintage Sequential Circuits synths. I actually own a Wine Country "Perfect Prophet-5" myself.

via Wine Country Sequential:

"The Long & Winding Road Ends..Soon

It's been 46 years since musicians experienced the polyphonic sounds of a Prophet-5, and 41 years since the Prophet 600 introduced MIDI to the world. Sequential Circuits Prophets have made significant contributions to music, film, & theatre for decades. Since 1987 keeping the Prophet sound alive has always been the goal of Wine Country Sequential, and it's been a long and interesting ride. The ride is now over, Wine Country Sequential repair services for Sequential Circuits Prophets ended in December 2023. However, Wine Country Sequential remains open for business as the liquidation of original Sequential Circuits parts & manuals in order to help vintage Prophets survive in the decades to come.

Liquidation of Sequential Circuits parts, manuals & archival documentation continues. Original Operation & Technical Manuals, Printed Circuit Boards, custom IC's, sound programs, Diagnostic ROMs and various other parts are available for most Sequential Circuits instruments. Wine Country Sequential will remain open for business in 2024 until the parts are gone.

Visit WineCountrySequential.com and SequentialCircuits.com for updates reflecting current availability of parts as the liquidation continues.

The Last Restored & Warranted Prophet 600 for sale by Wine Country with a 30 Day Parts & Labor Warranty is currently posted on SequentialCircuits.com at https://sequentialcircuits.com/prophet600forsale.html

Coming soon to SequentialCircuits.com is a Collector's Corner page offering original manuals, memorabilia, brochures, and even complete original engineering fabrication drawing packages for Sequential Circuits Prophets, drum machines, & other synths.

Thank you for your previous interest, and best of luck with your music.

Kind regards from California,
