Minimoog Model D vs Voyager
Published on Oct 17, 2015 Rhythmicons
"This is just a comparison between the Minimoog Model D and the Voyager's different waveforms.
I realize after making this that one can't really compare one synth's saw to another's square."

The Rev 2 has SSM filters.
"This listing is for a Vintage SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS Prophet 5 Rev 2 Analog Synthesizer Keyboard.
Serial #1000 - 0244
Rev 2 w/ Cassette Mod (See HERE for explanation)
Uses the better sounding SSM Chips"
"In 1980 the Prophet 5 Rev 3.0 came out. The Rev 3.0 had a cassette interface on board. The Rev 2 did not have this feature. Therefore Sequential thought it was interesting to bring out a cassette interface mod for the Rev 2. And so they did. The cassette interface modification for the Rev 2 existed only as a retrofit and was never a standard feature on a Rev 2. An official revision 2.1 (or even a 2.2) never existed in contradiction to what some sources may say.
Two small grey buttons are visible on the Rev 2 models (panel far left and top centre). These were 'Preset' controls to enable instant editing of mod and filter sections for the selected patch; they also doubled as cassette interface load and save controls. They are left out from on a Rev 3."

"This unit is in outstanding condition for its age. It's had low usage which is evident from how clean it is. There are almost no significant marks on this one besides some slight deterioration on the wooden ends.
Not only is this unit very clean but it has just returned from an a complete overhaul from one of the most reputable vintage synth stores in Tokyo.
An enormous amount of work was carried out which included changing the battery, replacing and servicing all voice chips. Complete tuning and scaling. Cleaning of all sliders and switches. Professional cleaning of the main board and other circuitry.
The initial bill after all the work was completed came to almost $850 USD but fortunately I managed to negotiate the price down from there. I only mention this to show that this unit should provide a trouble free experience for the buyer for some time."

Mix and match between any combination of the four tone color families (Brass, String, Organ, Piano), eight instrument presets (Trumpet, Trombone, Cello, Violin, Organ, Celeste, Piano, and Honky Tonk), and several settings that are available depending on your combination of instrument families:
ADSR - Attack, Sustain, Brass Attack & Brass Sustain
LFO - Vibrato & Vibrato Speed
VCF - Brilliance
Delay line - Percussion & Solo"
