"Some wear around the rack mount holes, and edges/surface of enclosure. All pots and encoders have good movement. Display is still bright and responsive. And most importantly, still capable of that varied and wonderful sound the synth is known for. From warm lush pads to just quirky ambient sounds, and everything in between. The pictures are a good representation of the cosmetic condition of the synth, I took the pains to provide as much visual detail as possible."

See this post on how to clean Waldorf Nextel surfaces. Not sure if that's the problem in this particular case, but it might be worth a try.

"I borrowed a Roland TR606 off LucidSound yesterday, wanted to get a feel for it and he said I could overwrite all his patterns - here it is clocking the Modcan A - funky!"

NEW Sequential Prophet-5 Rev 4: Day One


San Stacks

"Unboxing and running through a few presets with the brand-new Sequential Prophet-5 analog synthesizer.

This is a lovely and impossibly deep instrument. I'm so happy (and so broke). Can't wait to use the P-5 on, well, everything."

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

Vintage Prophet 5 Presets Vs. Prophet 6 (NO TALKING/DIRECT FEED FROM SYNTHS)


Vitaphone: Vision-Sound

"Vintage Prophet 5 Presets compared to a Prophet 6... No talking (aside the weird youtube glitch) No camera mic, volumes boosted as much as could be without overload, Most of the dead air has been cut and a/b times have been truncated, Listen on proper monitors, Or turn Equalization to Flat as it may overload standard systems.

You asked for it, you got it... well... Some of you did.

In the video we compare a Vintage Prophet 5's Presets to the John Bowen recreation bank on the Prophet 6to see if they can sound alike.

THIS IS NOT SCIENTIFIC... At all, the time was limited with the vintage unit and the day the video was shot, It was unexpected as The Prophet 5 (for the 2nd time in 6 months) needed to go into the shop.

This video is not intended, nor the prior video to tell anyone the synths are the same, Nor which synth to buy, its merely the 2nd video on youtube that exists of the two synths sitting side by side playing the John Bowen presets."

7. Analogue Solutions Colossus delivery
Customer report:- Yesterday, on July 14th 2020, I received delivery of my Analogue Solutions Colossus mega synth -- and I can officially confirm that synthesizers like this only come around once in a decade, or possibly a generation.

It is at once: enormously impressive, and it begs to be touched, fondled, turned, pinned (matrix), patched, and played.

In my short time with this sonic work of art, the Analogue Solutions Colossus is indeed a dream synth that is wrapped in a meticulously formed wooden case.

I love it, and I look forward to sharing it with you soon. -Rez
