Shared System Tutorials | Episode 33 | 2-Operator FM
video by Cinematic Laboratory
"I never really knew what an FM 'operator' was so when I found out I wanted to share it. An FM operator is a combo of s sinewave, a VCA and an envelope. We can then use these 'operators' to interact with eachother in different settings called algorithms. The Shared System can offer two mono operators with DPO, Maths and the Moddemix VCA (or Optomix LPG). So we're still a long way from organs and electric piano's. But you can't patch an organ :). Have fun!"

"So yes, it seems to work great with the original Z80 CPU, but it behaves a little strangely with the mod installed. Basically, with GliGli, oscillator pitch seems slightly erratic and janky. Sounds a little like random/noise modulation. Sometimes you can hear it on the first note you play, sometimes you can't hear it until you have played all six notes. Even weirder, this issue also goes away a bit when pitch bend is not perfectly centered. I think a multiplexer IC on the front panel PCB might be causing these problems, but since It doesn't have this issue when it's stock, I'm not so sure. I haven't messed with it. I'm including a couple replacements just in case.
I bought my GliGli mod from a pro builder on Reverb, so I don't think it was assembled/soldered together wrong. I'm pretty sure I installed it correctly as well! I'm stumped.
This synth also had a slight whine in the signal path when I first got it, but after I installed GliGli it went away and never came back, even after I reinstalled the original CPU this evening. Even when it was present, it wasn't too noticeable. (Hopefully it won't return!)
Cosmetics and other info:
This Prophet, serial number 5371, was built some time in mid-1984 and is in really beautiful cosmetic condition. A couple signs of use here and there but nothing very noticeable. Some of the lower black keys are a little dull-looking compared to the rest. Two front rubber feet were missing so I replaced them with adhesive ones. A GliGli "cheat sheet" from Synthgraphics is also now on the front panel.
All keys work!! Battery seems to be holding patches fine as well.
If you haven't had a Prophet 600 before, be aware that (when it's stock) it takes several seconds to boot up and tune each voice. This is normal!"

"Serial number 090598. Although it has an old style DYMO label on it with the number 090998 which seems to be a type-o. According to an online serial number database this is an early 12 bit version and was manufactured in August of 1981. The DYMO label was probably put there for inventory purposes by its previous owner.
The studio which I purchased it from said it once belonged to a famous Canadian musician but I’ve not been able to verify this 100%.
It has been in my collection for just about 5 years. The Jupiter 8 has been modified at one point in time (not by me) to have chromed/mirrored end cheeks. It also has a multi pin XLR type connector installed at the rear which at some point may have been used to interface with either a sequencer or other piece of gear.
This jack was attached to a custom hand wired circuit board. That board was removed by my technician friend when he installed the ENCORE midi retrofit. The synth works as it should and considering its age, it is in great shape.
There are no tuning stability issues and it calibrates/tunes incredibly fast and stays in tune. All of the slide potentiometers function as they should and there are no scratchy pots at all. Every tact switch functions correctly and all keys play as they should. There are zero functional issues with this synth."
