Sequential Circuits Prophet 10

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction. You don't see these often.

Some details pulled:
"I could write a book on what the Prophet 10 is and what it can do. Briefly it’s a dual manual 10 voice analog synthesizer that can produce incredibly fat analog synth tones. Each voice has dual oscillators (saw/pulse/hard sync, saw/tri/pulse), noise, VCA and VCF ADSR envelope generators, and incredible routing options like poly and mono modulation and multiple LFO waveforms to fatten up things. Essentially it’s like having 2 Prophet 5’s with the addition of a 3 band EQ all in one unit. Includes an onboard sequencer too. This instrument was first introduced in the mid 1980s and was used by many artists such as Genesis, The Who, Human League, Tangerine Dream, The Orb and by composers and filmmakers such as John Carpenter."

"All oscillators and filters have been fixed by Wine Country. All trim knobs work and are smooth in feel and function. All push buttons light up when engaged. The onboard sequencer works. All keys on both manuals work and the contact wires are solid. The pitch and mod wheels still have the original feel. The cosmetics are excellent too. Unfortunately the tape interface is intermittent. Only occasionally can I load a bank of patches. The only other thing to note is the keyboard keys are noisy (compared to current standards) and need a little playing to free up a minor sticky feel. Wine Country told me that the rubber pads under the keys either get sticky (mine) or crack with age. Their solution was to remove each key and apply a light talcum powder to the pad to get things back to pristine. I didn’t have them do this as I had hoped to do it myself." This one also includes the MIDI retrofit kit.

The only thing missing is a MIDI cable for controlling your outboard gear. I have MiniMusic which is a great suite of software for sequencing synths. You can see some previous posts here. If you want to control your synths with this, I'd recommend checking out the Minimusic Hardware page for more info. Via DK.
