Replacing the Main Board in a Sequential Prophet 5/10
video upload by Retrothusiast
"I had to replace the main board in my Sequential Prophet 10 because when the Rev 1/2 filters were selected, some of the notes would drop out. This is, however, after I had already replaced this keyboard because my first keyboard would not stay in tune. I'll be posting another video touching on this in the near future.
Sequential sent me new boards and I recorded a quick, down and dirty video documenting the procedure for anyone else who might have to replace their boards and wanted to see what's involved.
I followed these instructions provided by Sequential Support:

Hats off to Sequential Support. This company really is top-notch and despite the issues I had with the hardware, I can tell the Sequential team really cares and is extremely helpful and supportive! Thank you, Sequential!"

"I love the retro Juno 60 and 106 but with the crazy prices as of late, I am not ready to pull the trigger on investing in one. However, the Roland JU-06A is scratching that itch until the day comes I have my own Juno 60!
Enjoy seeing me turn two JU-06A synths together into an 8-voice Juno 60 and 106!"
