"This is a GREAT 12-bit sampler with a synthesizer built in, which derives from the DW series of Korg's synths, actually the best and most advanced DW ever made! This has the same specs with the keyboard version DSS-1, but with expanded memory, 2x polyphony, individual outputs, most of the DW waveforms and an updated floppy drive. Voice architecture is model specific. Two polyphonic voice modes are provided. See detailed specs on the bottom of the listing….

The instrument works excellent, floppy drive is fully working and the display is great too! Cosmetically this is in a great condition, as you can see in the pictures. This has been treated with care, in a non-smoking studio environment.

This is a truly RARE and HARD TO FIND item, this is a DSS-1 on steroids, without all the wasted space from its keyboard. This sits perfectly in your rack of samplers/sound modules, and it comes with its rack ears (not displayed in the pics, as I've used it in a desktop environment). It also comes with its power cord (220V).

IT ALSO COMES WITH 3 PACKS OF FLOPPIES CONTAINING ALL ITS EXCELLENT FACTORY SOUNDS!!!

This is truly brilliant, both as a crunchy 12-bit sampler AND as a super-fat synthesizer. Treats your samples with all its synthesizer and sampling capabilities!

Prophet-10 Sequencer Demo 1


Published on Apr 28, 2014 maisonvague·14 videos

"A brief demonstration of the Sequential Circuits Prophet-10 step sequencer. The notes and rests are first input arrhythmically by hand and then played back in strict rhythm according to the order in which they were entered. The tempo is determined by either an internal or external clock (in this case internal). The lower keyboard manual transposes both the sequence and the upper manual at the same time which can be a bit confusing because one is then playing in a different key from that which is sounding. Additional equipment used: Strymon el Capistan, Mackie 802 VLZ3, Zoom H1."
