An Interview with Ulrich Schnauss on Resident Advisor
You can find the full interview on Resident Advisor here. A large focus of the interview is on synths.
"We step into the German producer's studio to chat Voyetra 8s, Hartmann Neurons and other synth arcana."
He touches on the Hartmann Neuron and it's lack of commercial success.
"There was a time when programming was considered to be part of playing synthesizer, and people were excited when new ideas of synthesis came up. Around the mid-'90s I think it switched to this trend where people just wanted to have these so called groove boxes where you can basically just bang out a quick dance track in an hour. I think that the Hartmann Neuron was one of the instruments that really suffered from that development."
The was also the case for the FIZMO in the bottom image (you can always spot the FIZMO in pics). It came out in the renaissance of virtual analog synthesis. Because it was knob laden, people expected it to be a VA. It wasn't of course. It employed Ensoniq's Transwave Synthesis engine which was their version of Wavetable synthesis.

Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Rev 2 SN 1110
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Prophet 5 is a five voice polyphonic dual-oscillator synthesizer with a punchy, lush, warm sound that's great for leads, brass, sweeps and pads. The simple, well laid out control panel allows you to produce a broad range of super analogue sounds quickly and easily.
This version is a Revision 2. So, you get the great sounding original SSM chip set.
The synth is in excellent physical and 100% functional condition, having benefited from a professional service earlier in 2012 .
The solid wooden frame is in great shape. It is free of scratches and chips, with only slight wear to the rear left hand corner. The lacquer finish is still very solid and even with no sunfading.
The front panel is in good condition, clean and scratch free. The text around a few of the knobs has started to wear. Early Prophet 5s are notorious for this as the printing was easy to rub off from the black paintwork. The mod wheel panel printing has also started to rub off in places.
All knobs, buttons and switches are present, original and function correctly.
All keys are clean and aligned and contact correctly.
This is a 110v model so a small wall plug style step down transformer is included as part of the sale."
