Sequential Circuits Prophet 3000 - Rev B - 4MB memory - Working SCSI- Library
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
via the seller: "Up for auction is my beloved fully restored Sequential Circuits Prophet 3000. This is a project I've worked on for many years. I've spent a lot of money and even more time getting it to where it is today. I don't think you'll ever see another one like it for sale.
Included in this auction:
Sequential Circuits Prophet 3000 Rev B with 4MB of ram installed
Remote Control with blue backlit screen
Properly formatted and working SCSI drive.
Custom analog sound library (50 sets)
Case of factory library disks
Operaton Manual
Service Manual with Schematics
OS disks and diagnostic disks
Wine Country Prophet 3000 Survival Kit
3 extra 1MEG DRAM Chips for memory
Extra Floppy Disk Controller IC
New Buttons on Remote
New Pots on sampler
New refurbished floppy disk drive
Here's the back story:
I bought it close to 10 years ago on ebay from a woman in Italy. It's a Rev B unit so the memory was able to be expanded from 2MB to 4MB. I painstakingly tracked down the 1MEG DRAM IC's and upgrade the memory, so this unit does in fact have 4MB of Ram installed. I then turned to the screen on the remote control. When I bought this unit, the backlight of the remote control was burned out, just like every other unit I have ever seen. Again, I did a bunch of research and figured out a replacement screen for it. The original backlight was white, but I used a blue one because… why not.. The life on this screen is something ridiculous like 10's of thousand of hours. I then replaced the floppy drive because I was having trouble loading disks, so it has a refurbished floppy drive in it now. I then turned to the SCSI to see if I could get that working, I've never really seen one before with a working SCSI drive, but after tracking down the right kind of drive with the correct formatting I was able to get it working nicely. The fan on the drive is a bit noisy but that's what you get with old technology. I'm sure it could be modded to be nice and quite. I then ran across this guy in Ohio who owned an analog synth repair shop. He also owned a Prophet 3000. So whenever a synth would come in for repair he would sample it with the Prophet 3000. He had since sold his Prophet 3000 but he kept the library he created for some reason. I convinced him to sell it to me and that's what's inside the white box in the second photo. A lot of the disks were old and it often took multiple tries to get them to load into the sampler. Only a few of them were unsalvageable. Because I didn't feel like dealing with shoddy disks I went through and made copies of the entire library onto new Sony disks. That's whats inside two of the floppy disk cases you see in the second photo. The third floppy disk case is full of factory disks bought from Wine Country Sequential. There's nearly every OS that came out for the Prophet 300 in there. There's also the diagnostics disk which I used to show that all the memory is working properly and is in fact expanded to 4 MB. Other maintenance I've done on this unit include installing all new buttons on the remote control, new potentiometers on the sampler itself, and I've replace most of the SCI proprietary IC's with new ones from Wine Country Sequential. I'm also including the Prophet 3000 Survival Kit from Wine Country. Some of the IC's in it are the ones I replaced but were perfectly fine, and some are still the new ones. I also have 5 additional 1MEG DRAM chips that I'm including in case one of them goes bad (for the memory). Also included is the Operation Manual and the Service Manual with Schematics in a binder. I think that about does it.
*** in fully disclosure the Prophet 3000 was Sequential's last product they were developing before they went out of business. Very few of them were released to the public as they were really still in beta testing mode. The result is that all the kinks were never completely worked out of the OS so they tend to be a bit buggy at times. I've heard of units that you can't work with because of this fact. However, while this unit can sometimes do some quirky things, it really works well and is pretty stable in my opinion. If you purchase this unit you're purchasing the quirks of it too, it just comes with the territory."

Filter Noise - Synthesis Technology - E440 Playing a Pattern
Published on Mar 6, 2014 ipassenger·21 videos
"3 LFOs from the Fourmulator, sample and hold on the PGH MOD Toolbox work together to create a repeating pattern. 4ms VCAM controls range of melody. Melody drives 1v/Oct in on E440 which is being pinged by one of the lfos to create triggered tones. Multilfilter joins in by FM'ing E440 and then starts copying the melody, whilst also filtering a feedback loop from the E440 Progressively descends into bad noise.
Bit of reverb from the Eventide H3000."
