The History of the Prophet Synthesizer

Published on Oct 13, 2018 Alex Ball

"One of the most interesting stories of the synth world is that of Dave Smith and Sequential Circuits. I decided to try to tell some of it via their flagship series, from the Prophet 5 in 1978 to the Prophet X in 2018. With the help of a dozen other people who were incredibly generous and equally excited by their instruments, this film is the result: The History of the Prophet Synthesizer.

Massive and heart-felt thanks to all of these awesome Prophet people, this film would be very short without you!"

"I bought this little home DIY synth kit a few years ago and its just sat in my office in its original packaging. Time to get this little guy out there making some noise. Looks like a pretty easy to assemble kit but you will need soldering skills. First pic is what it can look like once assembled."

Akai AX73 Patch Demo

Published on Aug 26, 2018 Mark France

"This is a demo of some of the Akai AX73 patches"

via this auction

"Refurbished Akai AX73 Synthesizer for sale. Item has been dismantled, cleaned, replaced key contact strips and some keys, recapped PSU and added new faders. All 6 CEM 3394s running well, and circuitry in excellent condition. Internal battery is good.

This is one well built synthesizer, and the keyboard is a dream to play. Lots of features for a vintage 80s polysynth at this price point.

This synth is built for industrial music, and has lots of features that help contribute to it's gritty sound, including extreme resonance with its 4 pole filter. Please see my demos below for examples of this.

I have added a demo of some of the best built in sounds to show what it can do. I also added 20 unique patches in what I like to call an industrial suite, in patches 80-99. I have added a demo of these patches also. Please see my youtube channel for the other demos. You should find it via the attached video"
