Kitty Respects the TEO-5
An unexpected jam! (Moog Matriarch, Oberheim TEO-5 and Sequential Take 5)
video upload by I Love Cats and Synths
Just watch. Thought it was kind of funny - kitty showing respect.
"I was playing with the Matriarch arpeggiator when Bella stepped on the TEO-5 sequencer button and started it playing a preset sequence which actually went well with what I had going already. I added another arp from the Take 5 to round it out. My kitty is creative!"

Moog Minimoog = bass
Sequential Prophet 12 = Main melody line
Sequential Prophet 10 = background chime sound
Radikal Technologies Spectralis 2 = sequencing and lead later in the track

"Sequential Prophet VS Synth serial number 1063 with original manual. A very nice Prophet VS. It has been recently serviced and is in very good condition cosmetically with just some very minor marks to the case. It comes with the original user manual. It is UK voltage. This synth has a new OLED display and a modern power supply that runs cool and quiet. The keyboard plays very well and the aftertouch is working. The buttons and joystick all work smoothly."

"Vintage Sequential Circuits Prophet 10 Dual Manual Keyboard Synthesizer with Flight Case This Prophet 10 is in very good condition, and is fully functional, although the Braemer tape drive has not been tested. Has factory MIDI and sequencer, and the original blue Prophet-10 flight case on wheels. This may be one of the last Prophet-10s made, as the S/N is 0444. It's big and heavy!! Includes power cord, electronic copies of the operation manual and service information, and one original Sequential footswitch. The flight case foam is serviceable, but could use replacement. The synth is wrapped in plastic within the flight case. Full pictures are here [captured below]. By far the most prevalent of the original Prophet 10 models, the Prophet 10 Rev3 was a better built version than the previous 2 iterations for more consistent and reliable performance. It used Curtis Electronics Manufacturing chips, and featured 2 VCOs per voice, a low pass resonant filter with ADSR, LFO, & cv/gate controls. This rarely seen monster analog synth is by far one of the fattest and nicest vintage synthesizers.

"Soon a day will come when a large number of these classic early digital instruments will be renovated and making music again - but sadly this is one of the many that need an expert touch to get them working. This looks complete, with the crucial pedalboard, which is a vital part of the instrument and without which it is just a source of keyboard spares and a characterful early 70s piece of design. With RMI's classic and distinctive fold-down leg design. Please check the photos for its cosmetic condition - pretty good apart from some oxidisation on some of the stand and clasp metalwork, and some discolouration underneath the card reader. No cards are included, but it does have its lid, and an unknown switch (see pics).
Even with its neat leg system, this is a seriously heavy and large instrument, so will need palletising (60GBP) if it can't be delivered by hand."
