"No fret, I'll get one back when the time comes again..in any case, this is Prophet 5 you want. This synthesizer has been well loved, and routinely serviced by the Wizard of the P5, Greg Montalbano at Analog Synth Service in Oakland, CA.

The Awesome:
- 120 factory presets (sysex files from Greg available for buyer).
- later model Serial # 5899, stable and reliable.
- Greg recently serviced the synth 07/2020
Greg updated the synth with the following:
- Latest 10.5 MIDI implementation
- Power supply has new transformer for less heat and lower noise.
- All keyboard j-wire & contacts thoroughly cleaned and adjusted where necessary.
- Tuned and Scaled.
- All switches and knobs have been cleaned and tested.
- Completely recapped.
- Very clean P5 inside and out.
- Comes with Anvil style hardcase for safe transport. (Will not ship)

The action is butter and the sound is what you'd expect and much more.

The Bad (but not really):
No bad issues here, all cosmetic and does not affect functionality whatsoever.
- A few key caps have minor cracks, could be replaced or not, fine as is - see pics
- Decay and Resonance knobs have scuffs, perfectly fine as is - see pics
- Slight crack in the walnut from over tightening the screw on one side panel (happened before me). Perfectly solid as is - see pics
- The keyboard is older, so there are a few squirrels in the keys.

Greg adjusted all keys and gave a clean bill of health. Assures it's good."

Chris Meyer | Learning Modular's Ghost Beats Presentation for the Colorado Modular Synth Fest 2020

Learning Modular

"For those who are curious, here is a slightly higher quality recording of the 'ghost beats' presentation I did for the 2020 Colorado Modular Synth Fest (CMSF). The basic technique is taking two rhythm patterns - one that is the skeletal framework you want to always hear, and one with beats appearing and disappearing using a probability skipper - and using a logic module to blend them together."

Sequential Artist Spotlight Interview with CHASE BAIRD

You can find the interview on Sequential's website here.

"Part experimental rocker, part classical romantic, and part hard-bop devotee, saxophonist, and composer, Chase Baird has been described as “… the future of jazz music and the saxophone” by Grammy Award-winning trumpeter Randy Brecker.

His latest album, A Life Between, covers a vast emotional terrain with a band comprised of modern jazz’s most revered innovators. Grammy-winning drummer Antonio Sanchez and five-time Grammy-nominated pianist Brad Mehldau are veteran companions alongside new-generation talents Nir Felder on guitar, and Dan Chmielinski on bass. Critics have declared the album “…a truly inspired, dare we say, epic recording complete with progressive singularities and sonic cosmicalities.” A complete bio for Chase Baird can be found here.


We chatted with Chase on how he uses the Prophet ’08 in his music"

Nonlinear Labs C15 - Major Software Update Released

Nonlinear Labs C15 - New Features - Update 2020

via Nonlinear Labs

"The C15 received the most significant software update since its release.

It's an update of the operating system, the synth engine and the user interface. It includes layer, split and mono modes, more voices, and more macro controls and modulation targets.

Get an impression of the new features in this video.

Get a detailed list of all the improvements here.

This update continues the constant evolution of the C15 since its launch three years ago. It expands its range and quality of sounds and improves his playability and suitability for musical performance. The update is accompanied by around 200 new presets making use of the new features.

The new software is a complete rewrite. Based on the new architecture, future developments will be easier and will also benefit from new opportunities. The synth engine and the user interface now both run on Linux.

The update is free for all C15 users, who will also benefit from the interchangeable magnetic foils, as the new version comes with updated overlays reflecting the new features.

As of now all new instruments will be shipped with the new system and we will contact all users in the coming weeks to perform the update with them. Early models of the C15 will be brought to Berlin to update the hardware in order to install the new software."
