"This was one of the last Prophet models made by Sequential Circuits and came late in their existance so it was one of the first analogue synthesizers to feature MIDI functions. It sounds great. There are so many workable sounds within the 600 and plenty of control over them too. Patch memory is available so you can save your sounds, but I would probably recommend putting a new battery in there and updating the unit.
Before listing, I plugged it in and tested all the functions. She works great and sounds amazing..."
"Just noodling around with the Yamaha CS-30 again. It’s just so fun setting up a little sequence and twist knobs. This sizer can really sound aggressive thanks to its lovely filters. Nothing sounds like a Yamaha CS multimode filter. :D"
"A simple compostion to show how good the DX7 and FM is at recreating certain accoustic organic instruments. Especially the two featured here. The accoustic piano and flute. Of all the sounds Ive programmed over the years. Im most proud of this piano patch. I think its about as good as a non sampled piano gets coming from a real synthesizer. Hope you like it..."
"If you would give me an hour and ask me how I'd want to spend it, talking with Paul Schreiber would be at the top of my request list. I appreciate his sense of humor, his strong feelings about thing, and his willingness to share openly about any subject that might come to mind. I also appreciate that, by having been a 'hobby' synth maker, he has always been able to stay at arm's length from the grittier side of the industry.
Some of this podcast covers similar ground to my first discussion with him (podcast 13), but as is the case with Paul, each discussion about something reveals new information. And Paul is a treasure trove of information, having been there at the crusty beginnings of the new modular revolution.
Enjoy, and let your friends know about the podcast!
