Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Programmable Keyboard
| Condition: Excellent. This classic Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 was taken from a working professional facility and was in use up to the day it was reluctantly pulled off the rack for sale. It has some minor cosmetic blemishes here and there, but nothing serious, and the unit is fully operational. Serial No. 1000-1596 (Rev.3) Product Description The Prophet 5 contains five individual voices. For its principal sound sources each voice contains two VCO's (voltage controlled oscillators), OSC A and OSC B, and a white noise source which can be mixed into a resonant low-pass VCF (voltage controlled filter). The filter modifies the voice timbre under control of its four-stage envelope generator. The filter may also be resonated and serve as a sound source. Following each filter, a VCA (voltage controlled amplifier), also controlled by a four-stage envelope generator, shapes the voice amplitude. Supplementing the basic voices are polyphonic modulation (POLY-MOD) signal routings within each voice that allow OSC B and the filter envelope generator to function as modulation sources applied to OSC A frequency or pulse width, or the filter frequency. Finally, there is a single LFO (low-frequency oscillator) and a pink noise source which can be mixed to modulate all five voices, as adjusted by the MOD wheel. The Prophet-5 sustained six revisions (or revs). Rev 1 was the original design. Rev 2 was a refinement of the original design and largely transparent. Rev 3, however, was a vastly different synthesizer than Revs 1 and 2. Introduced to Rev 3 were new voltage controlled IC's (CEM), an improved ADC, DAC, and a different control voltage distribution scheme. More sophisticated editing and tuning routines were designed, and to improve servicibility, voice trimmers were reduced from 80 to 45. Some believe that the Rev 3 synthesizers are slightly inferior (sonically) to their predecessors by revealing an absence in the lower frequencies. While this may be true, the majority of the Rev 3 synthesizers are far more operationally stable than their Rev 1 and Rev 2 counterparts. Instrument codes are coded by model number, followed by a period and then the rev level. * 1000.1 -- Rev 1: Serial Numbers 1-182 * 1000.2 -- Rev 2: Serial Numbers 184-1299 * 1000.3.0 -- Rev 3: Serial Numbers above 1300 * 1000.3.1 -- Rev 3.1 adds some changes to the RAM. * 1000.3.2 -- Rev 3.2 (USART, Analog) * 1000.3.3 -- Rev 3.3 with 120 Programs * 1001 -- Prophet-5 Synthesizer with Remote Keyboard * 1005 -- Prophet-5 Synthesizer with Polyphonic Sequencer" For all the information you could possibly want and more, please visit: http://users.telenet.be/prophet-5/main.htm |
