"There are four boards inside a prophet 5. Two control boards that have all the pots and switches. one processor board. and one oscillator board. that is it. It is not a complicated machine full of boards like the Voyetra 8.

I think it would be safe to say there are not many of these around. ALL SSM CHIPS ARE GONE. One day someone will remake the SSM like they did with the CEM chips."

According to Wikipedia, the Prophet-5 Rev 1 & 2 used the following SSM chips:

11x SSM2030 VCO
5x SSM2040 VCF
10x SSM2050 EG
21x SSM2020 VCA

Currently Sound Semiconductor is reproducing new versions of SSM chips, but not any of the above.

Musicaid Clap Trap

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"A rare early analogue Musicaid Clap Trap in good cosmetic condition and very good working order.

I recently had this serviced by Synth Restore in Bedford so it’s ready for studio use or live!

There is minor wear and tear but overall it's in good condition. One knob is missing its white cap.

There are very few analogue Clap Traps in existence. Famously-used (and abused) by Throbbing Gristle and The Human League among others...

Sonically it offers a wide range - from huge oceanic crashing waves of noise to rhythmically-challenged helium finger pops (thanks, Ensemble control) - there's also occasional near-realistic electronic claps in in amongst the myriad options. This is a very early unit and is pretty wild compared to the later ones - some ear-piercing resonance at higher settings make this a contender for serious techno-abuse."

4 Monosynths Under $1000 | Reverb

Published on Apr 4, 2019 Reverb

"If you're looking for synth bass or lead tones, you can't go wrong with a monosynth.

Shorthand for monophonic synthesizer, monosynths will allow you to play only one note at a time. But they promise a rich, versatile array of tones. If however you're looking to play chords, you'll need a polysynth. (Not sure what you want? Take a look at this previous article on monosynths vs. polysynths that can help you make that decision.)

In our video above, Justin DeLay shows off the features and sounds of four different monosynths available on Reverb for less than $1,000 USD, starting from a few hundred dollars:

Korg Monologue: Starting at $199 used.
Arturia MiniBrute 2: Staring at $499 used.
Korg ARP Odyssey: Starting at $500 used.
Moog Grandmother: Starting at $820 used."

Moog One Software Rollback Procedure

That is pretty cool. Wish more synths featured this, although not sure if I'd ever use it. :)

"Another in our Moog One Basics series, this brief one minute demo shows how easy it is to rollback the Moog One's operating system in the event of a problem. No USB drive is required and it only takes seconds to initialize the rollback procedure."

"A meditative, ambient electronic music piece, celebrating the luxury of the quiet, the introspective and the movement through space and time.

Envisioned to be experienced through noise-cancelling headphones while traveling by railway or aeroplane, yet ultimately crafted for all situations when the listener seeks a closer bond between their mind and the cosmos, leaving their body deeply idle in a state of single-sensory stimulation."
