MUSE SEQUENCER via this auction

"Meticulously overhauled by the most critical professionals around and working perfectly. The unit is in exceptional shape and is in excellent working order. You won't find a better one."

EXTERNAL AMP SPEAKER via this auction

"Professionally Serviced and working just fine. This rare piece is designed to hook up the the Triadex Muse Sequencer box. Gets a lot louder than the sequencer's internal speaker, though you wouldn't want to crank it as you could damage it.

The fabric covering the speaker is stained. We imagine a professional cleaner may be able to remove this stain, but this is nothing we wanted to attempt. Comes with original box (!)."

"Fully disassembled, cleaned inside and out, and meticulously serviced and reassembled. Working perfectly. This process was performed by an expert vintage synth tech and took nearly 12 hours. The end result is an instrument that's better than the rest and is priced accordingly. Ready to play, no excuses.

Tech notes:

Replaced power cable.
Replaced molex connector terminals (2)
Replaced capacitors T2.2/25 x4
Repaired broken standoffs, which are very common in Pro-Ones - see additional screws in front panel.
Removed bender unit and wheels, replaced terminals.
Opened, cleaned and lubed, reassembled.
Cleaned all switches and pots for crackle free performance.
Installed new 16p IC socket.
Recalibrated VCA offset, D/A scale for CV, VCOs, adjusted bender, checked mod wheel, cleaned jacks.
Burn in test. Multiple systematic tests over extended period of time.
Unit works perfectly and sounds great!

This Pro-1 left the factory with the later membrane style keyboard Sequential switched over to later on in their production run. We had our tech service this keyboard and its now working perfectly, but the keys on this type of mechanism are a bit harder to play due to the mechanism design, so we removed that keyboard and replaced it with a newly designed 3rd party keyboard that feels much better. We're selling the membrane keyboard separately, but we can probably swap them out again if you'd like the original keyboard instead (if we still have it). We don't recommend it though as the new keyboard is much more pleasant to play.
We replaced the wooden sides with brand new replicas made by a third party."

"Here's a short demo of the Studio Electronics MIDI Mini/Minimoog Model D I have listed for sale on Reverb. Some playing around with bass/lead sounds, going through the oscillator waveforms, and sweeping the filter to show how it sounds and performs. Using a Juno-106 as a MIDI controller, not included in sale!"

"this is one of the early versions with the original sound boards ripped out of a Minimoog Model D. Some might call it sacrilege, I call it a great way to get authentic, vintage tone in a 4U rack!

This unit is freshly returned from service at Rosen Sound in Burbank, CA. No oscillator drift, all pots, switches and functions in working order! But there's only so much I can describe in words; check out the demo video I made (above, after the pictures) to hear it in action. This thing is FAT. Floor-shaking basses, screaming leads, and saturated resonance; if you know you know, there's no substitute for the OG Moog sound.

The only functional issue I've found is that the VCO pots are a little scratchy, and the VCO 1 pot has a little trouble clicking into the rightmost waveform (PWM square). I spoke with the tech and since the pots are no longer manufactured, the only solution would be to machine new pots, which would likely cost more than the unit itself. But if that's the only issue for this 40-year-old beast I'd say it's doing pretty well!

Cosmetically the item is in great condition; the faceplate is more or less pristine, with only some very light rack wear on the mounting tabs. The top of the unit has some scratches and scuffs (see pictures),as it's a bit of a tight fit getting this into a rack (but of course those scuffs will be invisible once mounted). Back and sides are in perfect condition."

The Sequential Circuits Prelude is a four part orchestral synthesizer that, despite its relatively simple layout, sounds great and is a blast to play. The four sections of sound are strings, brass, piano, and organ. It also has a great sounding 7-band EQ, a chorus, and an octave button."
