"The rare flagship holy grail of all Sequential Circuits synths!

The mighty dual manual PROPHET 10!

Priced right to sell quickly, the Prophet 10 is literally TWO Prophet 5's in one synth with extra abilities such as layering, bi-timbrallity, alternating notes between upper and lower voices etc.

This rarely seen monster analog synth is by far one of the fattest and nicest vintage synthesizers. The Prophet 10 is simply two glorious Prophet 5 synthesizers stacked together. That gives 10 voices with 20 of Sequential's unique analog VCO oscillators at 2 per voice for a big fat analog dream!

20 oscillators (2 per voice), 10 voices, 2 independent 61 note keyboards and all the great sounds and editing facilities as the Prophet 5! Built in Tuning tones and Auto-Tuning functions help make sure you won't go out of tune. And top notch circuitry and design prevent overheating. Multiple keyboard modes allow for true flexibility for different performance / voicing needs! The Prophet 10 is a truly fat and classic analog instrument.

This synth has been fully serviced, recapped including the tantalum caps, restored and has Wine Country Sequential's MIDI added! Even the front panel nameplate is in perfect condition which is rare on these. The sequencer works as it should too, although I never really used it but I have played around with it. I do not know if the micro-cassette tape drive works, I dont have any tapes and have never tried it.
The synth will be well packed and shipped in a new custom made road case, Local pickup in San Antonio, TX can be arranged. There are no returns or refunds on this item.

Dual Manual: The Prophet-10 has two keyboards, 5-octaves each, allowing for independent performance or layering of sounds.

Bi-timbral Operation: This feature allows the user to play two different sounds (programs) simultaneously, either layered on top of each other or split across the two keyboards.

Two Prophet-5's in One: Essentially, the Prophet-10 was designed as a dual-version of the Prophet-5, offering double the voices and the ability to combine sounds in unique ways.

Voice Allocation: Each manual controls five voices of the ten-voice synthesizer. When using the bi-timbral mode, each program gets its own five voices.

Applications: This allows for creating thick, layered pads, split keyboard performances with bass on one manual and leads on the other, or any combination of sounds from the two synthesizer banks."

Additional Analog U.S. Listings

"This one is in good cosmetic condition and working 100%. It has just been serviced and needs nothing. As the title says, this is an original Rev 3.3 with 120 programs and factory midi. There is no vintage button on this one! I got this from a gentleman who had it serviced by Wine Country before they went out of business. When I got it, there were still some problems so it has just been serviced again and it's solid now. This is marked as a domestic sale only, but I will ship out of the country. You can send me a message if you're considering to buy it and I will calculate the shipping cost then. Shipping overseas will not be cheap. Please keep this in mind."

ALAN R. PEARLMAN FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES INAUGURAL CELEBRATION OF THE CENTENNIAL BIRTHDAY OF ARP SYNTHESIZER FOUNDER, ALAN R. PEARLMAN

Press release follows:

ALAN R. PEARLMAN FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES INAUGURAL CELEBRATION OF THE CENTENNIAL BIRTHDAY OF ARP SYNTHESIZER FOUNDER, ALAN R. PEARLMAN, JUNE 7 AT THE MUSEUM OF MUSIC TECHNOLOGY

Kingston, NY - May 20, 2025 - This year marks the 100th birthday of the late inventor of the ARP synthesizer, Alan R. Pearlman. In honor of his pioneering innovations in electronic music, the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation will launch ARP@100: A Centennial Celebration of Alan R. Pearlman’s Legacy with EMEAPP at the Museum of Music Technology. A gala event kicks off a year’s worth of commemorative ARP centennial activities and takes place at EMEAPP, located in Harleysville, Pennsylvania, from 7 -10 pm.

June 7th Centennial activities at the museum include:

A live interview with the ARP Foundation’s director, Dina Pearlman-Ifil

Video excerpts from musicians, former ARP employees, and filmmaker Alex Ball’s celebrated ARP films

Performances on vintage ARP instruments by music pioneer Don Slepian and modular synthesist Ombient

The ability to try out a variety of synths

EMEAPP will unveil, at its Museum of Music Technology, a haven of vintage ARP history in which visitors will encounter an epic collection of ARP synthesizers, including the majestic ARP 2500 and a rare, early ARP 2502 with a cherry drop matrix. The iconic ARP 2600 Blue Meanie will be proudly displayed alongside an array of other ARP classics: the versatile Quadra, the expressive Soloist series, multiple iterations of the legendary Odyssey, the innovative Avatar, the powerful Chroma, the punchy Axxe, the compact Little Brother, and even a remarkable 16-Voice Electronic Piano – many of which will be playable!

Countless composers, musicians, and filmmakers worldwide have incorporated the ARP 2500 and ARP 2600 into their work, including early adopters Pete Townsend (in the “Who’s Next” album) and Elton John (in “Funeral for a Friend”). Stevie Wonder, an early adopter of the 2600, had his control panels labeled in Braille. The ARP 2600 was also responsible for the voice of R2-D2 in Star Wars films, and the 2500 was used to communicate with aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Alan R. Pearlman’s legacy as an engineer and inventor began at an early age. A fascination with sound occupied his interest, and he spent time as a child building amateur radios. In 1948, as a student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, he wrote, “The electronic instrument’s value is chiefly as a novelty. With greater attention on the part of the engineer to the needs of the musician, the day may not be too remote when the electronic instrument may take its place as a versatile, powerful, and expressive instrument.”

Attendees may reserve a spot at this exclusive celebration and fundraising event with a tax-deductible donation of $150 per ticket. The contribution includes complimentary wine/beer/other beverages, a selection of snacks, and a swag bag. Parking is Free.

The Museum of Music Technology/EMEAPP is located at 45 Mainland Road, Harleysville, PA 19438, just a short drive from the PA Turnpike Lansdale exits."

PlantsSystem-Faithful emulation of the Ensoniq SQ-80 - VST instrument "SQ8L"

video upload by plantssystem

"This video focuses on the sound and functions of the VST plug-in 'SQ8L' (developed by Siegfried Kullmann), which faithfully reproduces the sound source architecture of the hybrid digital synthesizer 'Ensoniq SQ-80' that was released in 1987, and examines it from various angles, from preset playback to sound creation.

The SQ-80 is known for its unique sound character that combines lo-fi digital waveforms (8-bit single-cycle waveforms) with analog CEM filters, and has been used in a variety of genres such as synthwave, industrial, and film music. "SQ8L" reproduces this digital waveform ROM, envelope, LFO, and multi-timbral functions with high precision, allowing you to re-experience the charm of the old SQ series in a modern DAW environment.

This demo uses PlayOnLinux on WattOS, a lightweight Linux distribution, to wrap Windows VST plug-ins with MiniHost Modular and run them. It also works stably under Wine, and is a useful example of VST operation in a Linux environment.

Experience the charm of an 80's hybrid synth, where the roughness of digital and the warmth of analog intersect."

SM100 Sound Editor for Solton Project100 - Live Sequencing Editing

video upload by VSMI - Vintage Synths Made in Italy

"The Solton Project 100 is a 6 voice polyphonic analog-digital synthesizer produced in the 1985 by Solton, an Italian brand known for its keyboards and sound modules, later get Ketron.
It has an analog chorus based on a BBD (Bucket Brigade Device) circuit, very similar to those used in Roland synthesizers of the time, such as the Juno-6/60.
Here is controlled by SM100 Sound Editor for Win XP (Copyright (c) 2002, 2005 Mark R. Strijbos)
run on Mac OS by Wine Stable, pattern play by Full Bucked Air Sequencer.
Add Echo effect in final mastering audio."

PlantsSystem-SingleRoom

video upload by plantssystem

"At SingleRoom, we performed an interactive set utilizing the Prophet-5 and 'M.' By blending the warm, analog tones of the Prophet-5 with the refined digital textures of 'M,' we created real-time sonic transformations.

This performance incorporated an improvisational approach, ensuring that each rendition unfolded with unique musical developments. By adapting the sound to the atmosphere and audience reactions, we provided a one-of-a-kind experience.

Harnessing the Prophet-5’s rich filters and the dynamic sound shaping of 'M,' we crafted deep, immersive synth sounds. Characterized by its simplicity yet profound depth, this performance stood as an exploration of the fusion of music and technology, offering listeners fresh inspiration."


Update: Some additional info via plantssytem on M:

"There is a deep relationship between Cycling'74's (MAX) M and ATARI M. Originally, ATARI M was developed by David Zicarelli, the current founder of Cycling'74, and Eric Amres, the founder of the 'Intelligent Sequencer Realtime' that I posted about last time. The prototype of MAX M is ATARI M. In addition, M was also released on the Commodore platform. I use ATARI M, which gives a more cutting-edge, direct and straightforward impression. The current ATARI emulation runs on Linux WattOS using Wine. I will send you the title splash of ATARI M and Realtime."

Music Box Ambient Modular Music

video upload by Mega Modularis

"Hello there! And welcome back to another video, you seemed to enjoy the Wine Glass series I made recently, and I had a lot of fun making it, so in a similar vein we have this video— Music Box Modular!

In this one I make some lovely ambient music using recordings from an old music box I found, I then ran those recordings into the synth, via the ​⁠‪@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC‬ Morphagene and began experimenting.

I can’t place the original tune, so if you know it, let me know! Anyway, as always, please sit back and enjoy!

MM."

"Classic and legendary Prophet VS Synth in great working condition. So many synths and synth designers have taken bits and pieces from this design but nothing beats the original.. nothing sounds as bold and awesome as the original. The sonic possibilities are endless and the filters are classic Sequential. Good solid functional condition and good cosmetics as well. The only thing to note in full disclosure.. The chorus section is a but noisy. No worries tho, if it bothers you, there is a Chorus Bypass buttons right on the top panel.. i always bypassed it and used a Strymon, Eventide or Lexicon for stellar results. It was serviced by the best.. Wine Country a few years ago and still providing years of sonic bliss!"

Elmyra2 Revisited with Imitor, Melotus & Desmodus Versio

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"It's been two months since I supported the Elmyra2 launch wave. But it's not gathering dust. It's maturing like good wine. This video doesn't add much to the first one, except I'll be using a lot more CV and starting RAW with no effects. Indeed, it reminds a bit of the Lyra-8 sonically, but the Elmyra is much easier to control and there's no built in FM. You'll need a masterclass for Lyra-8, but you can just play Elmyra and make dark organic drones, textures and music. I've included some short Lyra-8 snippets for you to compare. Elmyra 2 can't go to the high notes, where Lyra-8 can go higher than you can hear. So I will not compare them, but enjoy them both."

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.

Sequential Circuits Prophet VS Rack Mount Vector Synth SN 0136

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

via this auction

"The Prophet VS Rack is one of the most unique synths from Sequential. It is a digital synth utilizing vector synthesis for sound generation. It contains 4 oscillators per voice with 127 waveforms. It also features 2 LFOs, a Curtis low pass analog filter with digital controls, envelopes, arpeggiator, built-in effects and is MIDI equipped. The VS rack is a pretty rare synth, with total production figures of around 900 for the rack version.

Serial #2402-0136. Needs a little work, but overall in good condition. The display works, but the light is out. The Left/Phones input jack works, but as you can see from the pict, part of the plastic is broken and should be replaced. Some of the buttons on the front panel sometimes stick and need to be pressed more then once, but always work.

Besides the minor issues, it’s very clean. Comes with Kid Nepro 100 custom made sounds. You can still get parts from Wine Country and can probably get it back to 100% for about $1-2 hundred US dollars. We are selling “as is” so you have to cover the costs of the described repairs. We guarantee the above description is accurate, but the buyer will have to cover the costs of the described repairs."
