From Thom Yorke to Vangelis — A Short History of Sequential (Dave Smith Instruments) | PlayJason

video upload by Jason Mays

"When musicians talk about revolutions in electronic instruments, certain names echo through time — and few are more influential than ‪@SequentialLLC‬ the company founded by the late, great Dave Smith. In today’s "History of" episode, we’re tracing the complete history of Sequential (formerly Dave Smith Instruments), from the world-changing arrival of the Prophet-5 to the modern renaissance that brought the Sequential name back into the spotlight. Whether you’re a synth enthusiast, a gear historian, a Prophet devotee, or just someone who loves the intersection of music and technology — this is the story you need to know."

"The Sequential Fourm is the brand's first 100% analog synthesizer, featuring the Prophet-5 filter, an intuitive modulation matrix derived from the Pro-One, and polyphonic aftertouch. Oh, and yes, all this for under €1000! François shows you everything you need to know about this synthesizer, its architecture, and its distinctive character!"

RetroSound Studio Tour: Analog Polyphonic Synthesizers

video upload by RetroSound

"RetroSound Studio Tour
Classic Analog Polyphonic Synthesizers from the 1970s and 1980s

In this episode of RetroSound Studio Tour, I explore the sound, design, and history of legendary analog polyphonic synthesizers from the golden era of electronic music. These vintage poly synths defined the lush pads, warm brass sounds, and cinematic textures heard in synth-pop, progressive rock, disco, film scores, and early electronic music.

This studio tour focuses on true analog polyphonic instruments featuring multiple voices, voltage-controlled oscillators , classic analog filters , and rich modulation systems. Unlike monophonic synths, polyphonic synthesizers allow full chords and layered harmonic textures — making them essential in 1970s and 1980s music production.

In this RetroSound Studio tour, you’ll discover:

"KOSMOS – A Compact Generative Sequencer Driving the Prophet‑5

This short clip features KOSMOS, my standalone generative MIDI sequencer, controlling a Sequential Prophet‑5. KOSMOS creates evolving melodic patterns and rhythmic variations in real time, while the Prophet‑5 provides its unmistakable analog warmth and depth.

The performance is completely autonomous — no DAW, no external processing — just KOSMOS generating the sequence and the Prophet‑5 responding with its classic tone.
It’s a small glimpse into how KOSMOS interacts with hardware synths and how expressive the pairing can be."

Dreamt in Passing | Sequential Take 5 (Dreamscape)

video upload by hvegel

"A patch I created to showcase how massive the Take 5 can get. Apart from a bit of 'ITB Mastering' this is just the instrument. With 'Vintage knob' or things like LFO slew, not engaged, yes, it is true, this instrument, by design can do some very precise Analogue material, think Elektron Analog 4, but it can get into the weeds, and sound out right wild, and unruly, not unlike the Sequential Godfather it shares its DNA from.

The latest firmware update, has really encouraged me to start using this more as centrepiece in my studio. A/B-ing, sound for sound with the Prophet 5 Rev 4, with a bit of attention to detail with programming, it gets just about every bit there (factoring in a substancial lower mid-range bump in tone with P5, with a touch of those mids being abscent on design, some may consider the Take 5 a bit more 'glossy'), The Prophet 6 might be a better (more immediately satisfying) than both the P5 ot T5, but Sequential has done a wonderful job at taking the core Prophet sound, its Rev 1/2 filter, modernising it with bass compensation, and stable filters, that can be pitched to a wonderfully pleasing instability.

This reads a bit as an apologist letter, but I also think the Take 5, is very misunderstood amongst the Internet, for what it's DNA really is, how these firmware updates keep unleashing it further into the stratosphere, and despite its massive popularity at your local Synth Store, it's still this mystified object that kind of gets relegated to a vastly updated Dave Smith Mopho."

Comparing the Sequential Fourm to the Pro-One

15:11 PWM and how to match them
19:10 F to the M
20:00 Show Me The Sync
21:19 Pushing the Envelope 24:06 Overall..?

"Some genuine surprises in this head-to-head with the Sequential Fourm and the legendary Sequential Pro-One to find out if the Fourm can give the same vibe.

At first glance, the architecture looks familiar: dual oscillators, classic envelopes, a focused modulation section, and unmistakable Prophet-era DNA from Prophet-5 territory. But the big question is this: does the Fourm capture the raw punch, deep bass, and aggressive character that made the Pro-One a cult classic?

.. and I know it's not a clone :) but in this in-depth demo and comparison, I explore:

Oscillator behaviour, sync, PWM and FM
Filter differences (including low-end depth and resonance extremes)
Envelope response and modulation range
Bass performance, subs, and room-shaking tones
Where the Fourm goes beyond the Pro-One — and where it doesn’t

Rather than obsessing over perfect null tests, this video focuses on feel, playability, and whether the Four inspires the same kinds of sounds and musical ideas as the original Pro-One.

If you’re into analog monosynths, Sequential gear, vintage vs modern comparisons, or you’re wondering whether a contemporary synth can truly stand in for a rising-price classic, this one’s for you.

🎧 Headphones or proper speakers strongly recommended — some of these bass tones go very deep."

"Vintage Sequential Circuits Prophet-10 (Double Manual) synthesizer with MIDI in excellent working condition. Legendary dual-manual analog polysynth featuring two independent 5-voice Prophet engines for layered, split, or stacked sounds. Delivers the classic Prophet tone with rich VCOs, resonant filters, snappy envelopes, and hands-on control.

Both keybeds have been professionally restored: bushings replaced and lubricated, contact bars cleaned, J-wires realigned, and keys fully cleaned. Fully tested—both manuals play evenly and respond correctly. On the top left corner there is residue left over from an adhesive Velcro strip that can easily be removed, and the prophet logo on the front panel was touched up by someone. These can be seen in the photos. Some other light cosmetic wear but nothing serious."

PlantsSystem-Duos&Prophet-5

video upload by plantssystem

"This video work captures the unpredictable changes in sound that occur when the analog circuits of a Sequential Prophet-5 and a Hikari Instruments Duos are feedback-connected and interfere with each other.
The Prophet-5's rich polyphonic sound stimulates the Duos's sharp circuit response, responding sensitively to even the slightest touches, creating an organic, tense acoustic space.
This experimental work captures, through both sound and video, the moment of feedback, which oscillates between control and rampage.

PlantsSystem-Prophet-5&PolySeq

video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem performed live in the intimate space of a single room using the Prophet-5 and Poly-Seq.

Performer and audience shared the same space, and in a seamless environment, the Prophet-5's rich analog tone and the Poly-Seq's quietly pulsating sequences resonated with each other.

The act of performing itself blended into the living space, resulting in an intimate and immersive performance where the listener could experience the sound-creation process in its entirety.

PlantsSystem-Duos&PolySeq ChaosSync

video upload by plantssystem



"PlantsSystem performed using Hikari Instruments' Duos and Sequential's Poly-Sequencer, linked via ChaosSync.

The multiple sequencers interact and influence each other, generating music through a struggle between regularity and chance. The delicate yet sharp modulations of the Duos and the phrase changes made by the Poly-Sequencer overlap, keeping the development constantly fluid.

This experimental live performance, unique to PlantsSystem, showcases the process in which intention and chance emerge simultaneously."

Is the Sequential FOURM the next Industrial classic?

Today we discover the ‪Sequential FOURM. The sound of Sequential synthtesizers helped shape EBM and industrial music sound, albums by bands such as Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM or VNV Nation. I'm putting the Sequential FOURM to the test to see if it can deliver that EBM and Industrial sound, just like the Prophet-5 and Pro-One did back then.
