The Rev 2 had SSM filters, while the Rev 3 had Curtis. You don't hear demos of the Rev 2 often.
"Prophet 5 rev 2 for sale on ebay [note the vid is from 2010, so no longer on eBay - Perfect Circuit does have one currently listed here - and a search here]. running through some patches to show some of the versatility of this synth and also the midi capabilities of the installed Kenton MIDI kit."

Sequential Circuits Multi-Trak

YouTube Uploaded by psyfi on Sep 13, 2009

Note this video is from 2009, and I'm guessing this specific Multi-Trak is longer for sale. You can of course check for them on eBay. Posting the video for the demo as it shows some of the multi-tracking capabilities and some sounds the Multi-Trak is capable of. On a side note, I looked into making a TouchOSC template for the Multi-Trak but sadly it appears to only respond to complete patch dumps and not real-time control over each parameter. The Six-Trak has the same sound engine and does support real-time editing via MIDI CC, but lacks the velocity sensitivity and trust me, the velocity sensitivity on the Multi-Trak is extremely expressive especially when routed to the filter with a bit of resonance. It really is a shame their MIDI specs didn't overlap. The MAX and Split-Eight share the same sound engine as well, but I believe only the Multi-Trak had a velocity sensitive keyboard. I guess you could slave a Six-Trak with a Multi-Trak and get release velocity that way [or any other keyboard with velocity of course]. You can find a free MIDITouch iPad editor for the Six-Trak here.

Video Description:
"Running though the different functions on the SCI Multi trak. Showing all keys working. Velocity working pitch and mod wheels working. Also playing and recording to the sequencer and running the voice patches through their dedicated outputs."

Insice a Roland Compurhythm CR-78

via Astronauta Pingium where you'll find the write-up, additional pics, and videos featuring the CR-78.

"The drum machine Roland CompuRhythm CR-78 appeared in 1978 and stopped being manufactured in 1981. It was the first drum machine of the company that used Intel microprocessors, allowing digital control of certain functions. The main difference of the CR-78 for the previous drum machines made by Roland (and Ace Tone, the company that gave rise to it) is that it not only offers preset rhythms, but also allows programming new rhythms (through the WS-1, a device sold as an option at the time and now very rare)..."
