"Prophet 600 analog synthesiser just serviced and in perfect working condition. Only sign of wear on the top corner of the left wood side panel (see picture 6). Comes with switch pedal.

The P600 has two oscillators per voice with sawtooth, triangle and variable pulse waveforms. The oscillators can be individually tuned or synced together. Similar quality VCF and VCA sections from the Prophet 5 can be found here too! The P5's Poly-Mod section has also been passed onto the P600.

The P600 is extremely versatile and easy to use! Its best functions include the onboard arpeggiator, 2-track sequencer and poly-modulation. The P600 is great for creating analog effects, swells and drones. It has a cool glide effect and has very flexible modulation possibilities."

Lets try Betahistine

Published on Feb 1, 2017 snipz

"I don't really do drone. I think there are others out there who do it far better but I thought I'd give it a go.
Most interesting thing going on here is a Doepfer wavefolder processing Rings with Vulcan modulating the folding, and a Sport Modulator lfo going through a Flame Tame Machine with a custom scaling.
Oh, and I've still been very wobbly on my feet, hence the time to do another track and the name of it..."

Steady State Fate Entity

Published on Feb 1, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"The Entity, from SSF, is a module designed for low frequencies. It can function either as a bass synthesizer, or be morphed to work as a kick drum voice. It contains all the components for a full synthesizer voice, with controls to morph it from harmonic lines to epic thuds. There are CV inputs for every parameter, which includes a filter, envelope, saturation, ring amount, and frequency modulation."

Electro Harmonix Superego

Published on Feb 1, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio
Update: video is back.

"A synth engine that performs fluid glissandos, and creates oscillator like synthesizer effects.

The Electro-Harmonix Superego Synth Engine effects pedal is a new and unique product that combines elements of sampling, synthesis and infinite sustain. The Superego allows you to freeze sound, gliss between frozen tones, layer sounds and place an external effects loop on only the effect. In addition, the Superego can detect new notes or chords and sustain them automatically without requiring you to step on the footswitch. It even lets you tweak attack and decay, or use its effects loop to invent novel synth patches.

The Superego has three modes: Latch, Momentary and Auto. A toggle switch at the center of the Superego chooses between the three. Momentary mode is not labeled in the artwork; it is the center (or eye) position of the 3-position toggle switch."
