"How to assemble and solder the Super Sixteen sequencer module from start to finish! This took me about 4 and a half hours before editing, so give yourself enough time and take frequent breaks! It's a lot of parts and they all require some attention and focus. Happy soldering!"

Prophet-5 rev4 Heartbeat City pad and bass parts

Paul Schilling

"A partial cover of the Cars song from 1984, this is a P5 rev4, using the rev1/2 (SSM) filters for the pads and rev3 filter for the bass. A work in progress, I will be adding the arpeggios and other parts in another video but thought this worth sharing for the pads and bass"

"Violent Aggressive Heartless Noise (VAHN) is an electronic band based in Dublin, Ireland. After being in various bands throughout Dublin (rock / punk, metal and even an 80’s duo band!) and inspired by the DIY attitude of bands such as Nine Inch Nails, Kraftwerk and David Bowie, writer / producer Derek Adams released Kapitel 1, a concept album made using only analog equipment exploring issues of conflict and control.

We chatted with VAHN on how he uses the Prophet Rev2 in his music."
