"The Prophet 600 is a good synthesizer, but with the GliGli CPU upgrade installed it becomes a great synthesizer! One of the best vintage synth values out there today.

This Prophet 600 is in good working order and has been upgraded with the GliGli mod running the 2.0992 firmware revision (GliGli's final version), a new membrane panel, a new set of Synthchaser key contacts, and a new set of knobs. All 6 voices are tuning, scaling and sounding great.

Very good physical condition, some wear/chips on the side panels (see photos)."

"Amazing rare japanese drum module with 6 voices of (I’d say “CR-sounding” smooth / tight) analog drums. Eurorack friendly triggers (⅛” input jacks even!). Check YouTube for sound examples. Fully functional, in great shape. Includes power adapter.

Quote from MATRIXSYNTH (posted here): 'Very cool 6 channel Japanese analogue drum synth - controls for Volume, Attack (Snappy for snare) and Pitch (Decay on hats), Input Sensitivity. Capable of some pretty decent drum sounds - especially if you drive it with another drum machine and turn up the Sensitivity - overloads the signal and the source sound can bleed through adding extra dirt and colour.'"
