"Classic Synth Module from the early
90s (circa 93-94) Aimed at the dance music scene around then, it features many
classic sampled and synthesised sounds with everything from Moogs, Oberheims,
303s, to more unusual and estoeric sounds and samples.
The synthesis engine is called M.A.S.S. meaning it combines rom pcm wave forms with FM and additive synthesis, the idea being you combine these raw 'sub patches' into a bigger 4-voice driven sound.
There is also a multi mode where you can use these basic patches as well as full General Midi compatability.
There's each sound has an applible resonant filter. There's also a reasonable amount of onboard effects and given the era the machine came from they're relatively low noise. The rom/voice set can be expanded by fitting either the T.R.E. (Quasimidi Technox sound set) or Hardcore rom carts.
The machine is a classic of it's time and if you're after that more digital slightly lo-fi sound of the early 90s the is the machine for you."

Sequential Prophet VS SN 0165

via this auction
"Never made in large numbers, the Sequential Prophet VS is now a hugely collectable synthesizer. Made in San Jose, California in 1987 (s/n 0165), the VS was Sequentials last model before the company folded. Most of the R & D team ended up in Japan, helping Korg to produce the famous Wavestation....and they sold thousands of those.....
It all started in 1985, with Chris Meyer dreaming up the concept of Vector Synthesis. Initially tagged Prophet 2400, the name VS was eventually adopted. Basically, "morphing" among FOUR separate digital waveforms, with the 360* joystick, allows the creation of new patches (100 memories on board). There are 95 resident/32 user waveforms on board.....derived from 4 oscillators being shaped by Curtis analogue filters (but digitally controlled) ~ 4-pole lowpass, using 8-voice polyphony (+split/dual) ~ with twin chorus + agile stereo routing, all being sounded with a 5-octave velocity/aftertouch keyboard. As a bonus, there is also a versatile arpeggiator. Cosmetically, this synth is a bonny sight to behold, with lots of attractive blue switches and pleasing livery.
This particular VS (rev 1.2) has had a full service recently by a top London tech. New OLED blue display has been installed, and new buttons & switches. The keys are nigh perfect, with velocity fully working, and the channel aftertouch triggering every time. KKGB rate this beauty at 9/10. See pix showing eeny dinks on a cheek corner...thats about all the damage......"

Erica Synths DB-01: 12 patching ideas
video by Richard DeHove
"A look at some of the obvious and not so obvious things you can do to get a variety of sounds. Especially important is the use of LFO phase shifting, something which was introduced in firmware 1.07. It has a dramatic effect on the sound in both note reset mode and pattern sync. At the end of the video I get in some random noodlings just for fun.
0:00 Filter tracking
0:53 Filter envelope click
1:26 Random filter modulation
2:14 Vibrato
3:10 LFO filter phase
6:33 Drone mode
7:03 Sync mode filter phase
11:17 Bandpass filter
12:30 Gated chop

"To emphasize: this is not a MK2 model, it is the original model, which as far as I can tell is much rarer and has some differences with the MK2."

California Highway 4 (John Muir Parkway) with original music
video by CatSynth TV
"We drive along a section California Highway 4, the John Muir Parkway, between the I-80 in Hercules and I-680 in Concord. It winds through picturesque hills in northern Contra Costa County before taking on a more suburban character around Concord. It is a major commuter route, but quite nice during off-peak hours.
Original music by Amanda Chaudhary using:
RMI Electra Piano (sample instrument in Kontakt)
Arturia Mellotron V, Stage 73 V2, Pigments 3, CS-80 V
EastWest Fab Four bass
Percussion in Ableton Live.
