SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS PROPHET 5 REV 2

via this auction

"It is serial # 186. It's a rev 2 which means a totally different filter design then the rev 3 but I'm sure you know that already.

It really does sound magical and alive.

Only a few months ago I had the synth completely serviced and internally cleaned by CAE sound here in northern california. They were reccomended to me by wine country.

They completely cleaned the inside of the synth and replaced a frayed power cord. To my knowledge the only thing not stock on this prophet is the power cord"

"vintage synth demo by RetroSound

Roland JD-800 Digital Synthesizer (1991)
The pure sound of the JD-800. No external fx or eq added.
The JD-800 is one of my favorite digital synths ever. For me the last real big synth from Roland."
