“Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 with MIDI – the ’80’s analog classic. Condition is Used. Collection in person only.

This comes with the instruction manual and a cassette recovery tape with the original patches – should you have a cassette player, if you don’t, it’s a neat bit of retro art, if you like.

IMPORTANT; This synth is COLLECTION ONLY. I’ve had a few bad experiences where vintage gear has been posted and then not worked as advertised, then I’ve been told, “it was fine when I posted it.”

Now, that may have been the case, but I want to save myself and the winning bidder any trouble by making this collection only.
That way, you can see the machine, check it and everyone is happy. You can take a look at the attached video description too, for peace of mind.

OK, you’re here, so you already know this is one of the Big Three analog polys of the early-to-mid ’80’s, so, although DSI have new versions of this out, they’re not time machines. This is your one chance to feel and experience the genuine analog sounds of that golden era. And yes, it was a golden era, let’s admit it.
For me, this has more warmth than the other Big Two, the J8 and OBX/a, but once in unison it can kick your speakers and churn out some high weirdness – famously, Japan used the Pro’s modulation craziness on “Ghosts” to memorable effect.
If you watch the vid, don’t expect a display of virtuoso musicianship or a knob-by-knob breakdown of the P5 – you can get that with loads of vids on YouTube. It is simply a demonstration of functionality, so please don’t leave cutting reviews. I don’t plan on releasing the demo as an album. Or do I?
As you can see from the pics, there is some cosmetic hoo-hah, a few scratches here and there, but not bad for a machine that gigged throughout the ’80’s. Also, the bottom B key is a bit sticky (again, this is highlighted in the video) so will need a clean.
I’m selling because, quite simply, I need the space and the Pro 5 has done its time in my arsenal, so it can now move on with honours to be enjoyed by someone else who’ll appreciate it. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Prophet VS fully serviced from Switched On Austin, about a year ago. Key action works great, with aftertouch fully functional, chorus intact, etc..

There are surface scratches that can be seen in the images, but nothing that effects the actual instrument. Still looks quite stunning and suitably cold in any studio setting.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Extremely rare, works and sounds great!

Some notes: Slider is missing original cap, but the slider is 100% functional. Caps show up frequently and cheaply — check around!

Display is readable but still dim at maximum contrast, this is an issue with all VS’s actually, keyboard or rack. Just wanted to mention to avoid surprises. A new OLED display upgrade is also widely available and easy to install.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“The Prophet 600 was the first commercially available MIDI equipped synth (1981).

I recently took out the key contacts and cleaned them (this is a commonly needed procedure for these). The keys are perfectly straight and the action is nice and even from key to key.

The memory works perfectly.

This unit has not been modified in any way.

These sound amazing. They can be extremely aggressive and biting. The cross mod capabilities are very nice.

I wish I didn’t have to sell it.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Hello and thanks for reading this listing for my truly beautiful 1985 Sequential Circuits Prophet 2000 sampler. I really do think this one of the best 12-bit samplers of the era due to the flexible multi-timbrality, build quality and that fantastic rich Curtis resonant filter (as used in many a classic analogue synthesizer, as I am sure you know).

This Prophet is near as damn it in PERFECT condition. Barely a mark on it. I have recently serviced it, and cleaned every key contact ensuring every velocity-sensitive key works and also does so over midi, controlling other modules as required.

The fantastic futurist membrane-buttoned panel works perfectly with every button and LED working as it should. What a great design it is. No crackles from the balance or volume potentiometers. When cleaning the unit I did take note of how easy it is to gain access – 6 screws and the lid flips up, and another 2 release the whole keyboard bed for straightforward cleaning. It’s even signed by a Sequential Circuits engineer inside the case.

Not only is it in amazing condition but this particular 2000 has a library of about 40 disks loaded onto SD Drive which is fitted into the drive bay. This frankly makes the unit far more usable and you can add more to your hearts content. Oberheims, DX7 presets, Hammond samples, Emu library sounds, Synclavier and Fairlight library sounds, even complete EMU SP12 and TR808 kits spread across multi-samples….they are all on here at your fingertips in their 12-bit glory. Truly amazing what you can do with only 256kb of RAM. You can still buy a 512kb upgrade online, but this one is as it came out of the factory and this is just how I like it. If you want to start using the sampler to double up each sample and work in stereo I would suggest investigating that upgrade – Personally I have always used it in mono mode which to my mind gives it the true sound for which it is famous. In either case you have options to expand should you wish.

Did I mention the fantastic sound of this sampler enough already? Pop it through a reverb and away you go…instant Faltermeyer, Jan Hammer, Art of Noise etc. It’s a really, really rich and evocative sound. With a half-decent sequencer and a little planning you could produce a whole track with this item.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“1984 Sequential Circuits DrumTraks Drum Machine in Working Order, with some quirks…

*Quirks….the potentiometers on individual sound/drum and Tuning are finicky…usable but finicky
meaning they will hit their stepped settings (maybe mark with a pencil) but you need to spin slowly

volume is a little crispy

Being sold as-is

A Decent Usable Example” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“you are bidding on the synth pictured
from a private collection. has been sitting a long time
but in Great physical shape. all keys and functions are working well

I have not had this unit serviced, but will guarantee it to work as it should
faces up Very nicely as seen. wood sides are in very good shape.
dates to 1983. the keys are a bit clanky when triggered – I think they need a new felt strip inside

“Up for grabs is a Sequential Circuits MAX 100% warm and fuzzy analog synthesizer.

Note: The unit turns on but does not complete the boot process and thus will need servicing. Though: It is in good/great “physical” condition for its age.

There are a few scratches on it.

It is similar to the Sequential Six-Track and Multitrack. The sounds are pretty big and amazing. Think prophet.

The MAX was designed as an alternative to more expensive Sequential models. The sound quality wasn’t sacrificed but they cut out some of the controls to save on construction costs. It only has a few onboard controls for modifying sounds. It does have 80 stock presets (most of them are great as-is) and there are 20 user patches.

If you want to dive in and modify the sounds it’s really not that difficult. All of the sounds can easily be controlled by an external MIDI CC controller. I use the Arturia Beat Step Pro (not included). It allows me to control the sounds quickly. I will include a printed copy of the manual and MIDI instructions.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Sequential Circuits Model 1005 Poly Sequencer

for the Prophet 5 Synthesizer

(Connects to the Prophet-5

Through the Digital Interface Jack on the Back of the Synthesizer)

The working condition of this unit is unknown

It has been sitting in a box in my closet untouched for more than 20 years

When last used, it was in good working condition

However, since I do not have a Prophet-5 anymore,

I have no good way to test the unit

The unit does power up (the record button flashes after powering up)

As a result of not being able to fully test the unit,

it is being sold “for parts or not working”” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“1x Sequential Circuits Pro One Vintage Synthesiser

In good working order, just had a service

Rebushed j-wire keyboard, plays nice and keys are level

Couple small chips on the front panel which are purely cosmetic

Missing both name badges, which it has been since I got it.

All time classic mono synth from sequential circuits. essentially a single voice prophet – and too wonderful for any words to do it justice! It also is the model with a Tibetan Buddha and chant* stencilled on the circuit board, for extra good vibrations!” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Up for auction is my Sequential Pro One vintage analog synth w/MIDI in near mint condition. It has the more desirable j-wire keybed which has been painstakingly refurbished.

What has been done:

MIDI kit installed. Simply connect a MIDI cable from your controller or sequencer to the MIDI IN jack. Hold the red button down to enter MIDI mode. Send the kit a MIDI note and it will respond on that channel from that point forward. A red LED above the pitch/mod wheels indicates whether or not it is receiving MIDI. CV/GATE can also be used.
Keyboard bushings replaced, bushings greased, j-wires polished, every key removed/cleaned/polished, and keybed painstakingly adjusted to perfection (both height and width). Each j-wire adjusted so that they hit the buss wire at the same time for more accurate keyboard response. Keyboard now plays like butter. I have extensive experience refurbishing pratt-reed keybeds and took extra care to make this synth play like a dream. This easily took 4-5 hours of painstaking work to complete.
Prophet-5 knobs with metal caps installed. Paint on caps is absolutely perfect, with no scratches.
Every knob removed and cleaned with a toothbrush to get all the dirt out of the cracks.
Wood panels removed, sanded, waxed, and hand-rubbed to bring out the grain.
Pitch/Mod wheel plastic replaced with NOS wheels from Wine Country. The old ones crack over time and can slip on the pots.
All pots and switches cleaned.
Power cord replaced with a much nicer panel mounted 3 prong IEC power receptacle. Makes it much easier to remove from a stand (power cable included).
Inside and outside of synth completely cleaned.
Synth voices calibrated and checked over for tuning stability up and down the keyboard.

I own two Pro-One’s, and this one sounds the best of the two. It stays in tune up and down the keyboard. Pots have been cleaned but a few might be scratchy. I will retest before shipping. Not sure why this one has such a nice rounded, thick character to it but I prefer the sound over my other Pro One. Physical condition is very clean, near mint. The wood panels have some nicks and dents here and there, and small holes where knots are in the wood. Every knob cap is pristine. Every knob has been cleaned. A few scratches on the front panel. See photos for details. Only selling to fund another purchase. I am very picky about my gear, and have refurbished this to as close to perfect condition as possible.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Amazing multi-timbal polyphonic analogue synth built in 1984 by Sequential Circuits, with MIDI, on board sequencer, arpeggiator and monophonic unison mode for nice thick sounds. If you’re looking at this listing you probably already know what it can do, but check out this post http://www.vintagesynth.com/sci/stk.php or have a look on YouTube for videos of it in action.

Bought it from my friend a few years back as it needed some TLC and he wasn’t using it, so took it to Synth Prof (synthprof.com) for a full MOT and UK mains conversion, which cost £225 around 2 years ago (if you need specific details of the work that was done I can email Andrew at Synth Prof for more info).

Some minor marks on the wooden end panels but nothing more than you would expect from a machine of this age. Otherwise has been looked after well and not used very often in a smoke free studio.”
