Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Rev 3.3

via this auction

"The Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 is one of the first fully programmable polyphonic analog synthesizers of the 80s. The Rev 3.3 is considered the most reliable of the Prophet 5 versions and has 120 memory patches, five voice polyphony, two oscillators per voice, and a white noise generator. The unique analog sound of the Prophet 5 is ageless. It can be adapted to MIDI or used stand alone.

Cosmetically- In my opinion, it is in very good cosmetic condition, so please check out the photos and judge for yourself. The original walnut cabinet has been cleaned and looks good. All of the original badges are present, and all of the knob caps are original, with some wear.

Internally- This keyboard has recently been completely refurbished by David Trouse (great keyboard tech in the Bay Area), after being in storage for 25 years. It was fully disassembled and cleaned, all potentiometers and switches have been cleaned. It has a new battery, the keyboard was completely rebuilt, leveled, and balanced (new guides, bus-bar polished, j-wires cleaned, keyboard re-lubed), it's been fully calibrated, and it has had the original factory sounds uploaded. It plays great!

This keyboard is completely original. MIDI adapter kits are available at Wine Country Sequential for $379."

"I recently had a Moog factory trained technician work on it to fix a no output issue. When I got it it lit up but had no sound. He rebuilt the power supply and checked all the internal connectors and replaced a few capacitors but has not solved the no output issue. He could have kept going on it but got over busy with studios needing his services. He did say the top octave tone board is all good and in working shape. He believes its a capacitor or loose soldier joint somewhere else that’s responsible for the no output. It’s certainly solvable from what he said."

Cosmic O (Ambient Kosmiche w/ Juno 106, Sequential Prophet Rev2, Roland V-Synth XT)


video upload by MKDVB

"Recorded with Roland Juno 106, Sequential Prophet Rev2, Roland V-Synth XT, Synthstrom Deluge.

Ambient, kosmiche synth music inspired mainly by old synthesizer New Age holiday music cassette tapes. We wanted to make a Christmas concept album but maybe less cheesy. We tried to make it accessible for friends and fam but it kinda turned into weird Christmas music anyway, probably because we are weird.

This is an edited version of an original composition from the album Cosmic Christmas.

Remix version, early 2022!"

Nymphes & Juno 106 // ACTUALLY Compared


video upload by

"Nymphes First Impressions : [posted here]

// MY ENTIRE POINT // TLDW : They're totally different, although the seeing them as similar is not totally unfair. Careful, informed programming can help you get where you want.

I can understand why people are comparing these, the Juno 106 is so ubiquitous, it will get brought up no matter what.
And I, and many others, see most of the Juno's "essence" is superficially here ; 6 voices, 1 osc, a proper sub oscillator, with stereo chorus easy to add.

Then, with even a bit of proper investigation, you'll find that they behave quite differently. VCO vs DCO, the relative phase of the saw and square, potential LFO routings, among more.

BUT in the end, the "Juno thing" is not a static goal, or really quantifiable. And with careful, informed programming, many synths can give you some element of that "thing", whatever it is to you in that moment. If the Juno patch has only a saw and a sub, the Nymphes has no trouble at all re-creating the sound with a really impressive amount of accuracy. If it has a saw and a square, with an open filter, they will sound radically different. But not bad. Just different. And often, different in a way that is insignificant to the final sound, certainly irrelevant to what compositions a sound can be used for.

So, there's so much nuance at play here and so many things to teach and learn about, that I view a 14 minute video riffing on an open sawtooth as a pretty huge blunder. 👀

0:00 Intro
1:36 Here's the plan / Thesis
2:55 Oscillators, VCO & DCO
6:30 Simultaneous Waveforms
9:00 Sub Oscillator
11:00 Noise, for some reason
11:14 Mentioning oscillator modulation (briefly)
11:37 High Pass Filters
12:31 Low Pass Filters
14:54 Envelopes
16:14 Nothing is that special / Breaking down
17:55 Chorus is mentioned
(Sorry about the juno being in mono, if you comment about it I will act like I dont know what you're saying, and link this : https://youtu.be/gRX7amma46c)
19:09 Breaking Down pt2, the whole point
20:43 Accepting why I made this video
21:21 What is the ESSENCE"

The Sound of Foreigner - Waiting For A Girl Like You - Oberheim OB-Xa


video upload by RetroSound

"One of my favorite songs from the 80s and my last video in 2021.
Thank you for all the likes, for the kind words and for the support.

I used here the Oberheim OB-Xa Synthesizer for the pads, string sounds and the main synth riff.
For the Yamaha CP-80 piano sound I used my Yamaha Reface CP incl. the internal effect section. The bass sound is made with the Moog Source. The Drums are samples from the E-MU library.

The sound tutorial for the intro sound can you find here." [posted here]
