” Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 – Vintage Analogue Poly Synth – s/n 3660

An absolute classic poly synth from the 80s.

This one is in very good condition, not perfect, but very good. And it’s all working well.

There are some minor marks here and there which are to be expected from a synth of this age that has been used. Some little chips to the paint that have been coloured in (not by me) which show up when you look carefully. There are some minor scratches on the front panel but they are not glaringly obvious and a few marks on the top keys which might come off. The membrane panel is very good with no damage at all, and I have had no problems using it. There are a number of quite obvious scratches and marks on the bottom of the synth most likely from being on a stand.

The knob caps are all good except for the speed control (on the membrane panel section) where the white mark has faded. Everything functions as it should, buttons, switches, knobs, led display, keys, midi, etc.

The wood end panels have been replaced as the original ones were pretty worn. The new ones are thicker and look really great. I will include the original ones so you have the option of going fully original if you want.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This is the legendary Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 (Rev3.3) analog synthesizer. I am theoriginal owner, bought it brand spanking new in 1981. It originally had one bank of 40 sounds, thena few months later, I got a call from Dave Smith, from Sequential Circuits, askingif I could bring my Prophet 5 in for a “FREE upgrade to rev 3.3”. They would add another 80 patches, (for atotal of 120 sounds), and a MIDI interface. I asked “What’s MIDI?” Heexplained that it was a new communication device they were working on thatwould allow synthesizers to talk to one another. So I said OK, even though I only had 1 synthat the time. Then, almost overnight, there was a plethora of MIDI devices – andI had one of the very first ones, direct from the guy who invented it. So, I bought another Prophet 5 and MIDI’d themtogether for the fattest live sound you could imagine. The Prophet’s unique sounds definitely propelledmy retro-band (Papa Doo Run Run) right up into the eighties.

In the early 80’s you couldn’t hear a song on the radio or see a band on MTVthat didn’t have a Prophet 5. TheProphet 5 defined the sound of the 80’s.

I retired both of my Prophet 5’s from the road to the studioin 1990, and since I only really needed one, I kept the original, and tradedthe other one for a Korg Triton (I should have kept the Prophet). In 2000, I moved on to all digital, and putthe Prophet in its case – there it would sleep for the next 23 years!

Jump ahead to 2023, I have a warehouse full of vintage bandgear, in immaculate shape, and it’s time to say goodbye to some of my oldanalog friends. I immediately got outthe Prophet 5 and fired it up. But alas,after a couple of decades the battery that was keeping the sounds alive wasdead. So I did some research and took themachine to a tech in Oakland, who specializes in Sequential Circuitsinstruments. He not only replaced thebattery, and reloaded all 120 factory sounds, but cleaned, tweaked, andreplaced other aging components, to make my Prophet like new again!

This is a very special instrument, that requires a very special owner. There aren’t many original 40+ year old PERFECTLYWORKING analog synths out there. If youare a collector, or you have an “Eighties” band, you’re gonna want this Prophet5. I’m asking $8900 for the machine,anvil case, and original Performance/Tech manual. (Make me an offer). I amlocal to the SF Bay Area, but can safely ship it about anywhere in the lower 48states for around $300. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“・Noise can be used without sacrificing the waveform.
・There is a keyboard with poor response.
(It may react if you play it several times.)
・The movement of the left side of the wheel controller (pitch bender) is a little stiff.
・There is a big chip on the right side wood.
・There are scratches and scratches appropriate for the age, but it can be said that it is reasonably good except for the chipping of the right side wood. (This is subjective)” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 rev3.2 original with MIDI and flight case.

Fully working order, recently re-bushed and serviced by Tiny at HammondHire.
Bought from Rodney Stepp (The Spinners, Michael Jackson, Babyface) in 2009 and imported from The States. Used lightly since then, in no smoking professional recording studio. With extremely robust Star flight case. Could do with re-foaming if to be used regularly. Some light cosmetic wear to the keyboard, see photos. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“A classic I’ve had for over 40 years. I’m reaching the age where I feel I should pass it on. Everything works, all keys, all knobs, sounds great as expected. This has been with me my whole musical career, my first advance from a publisher (taken instead of cash). It’s been on various hits, lots of commercials/films and taught me how to programme analog synths. I won’t be sad if it doesn’t sell, but if I get a fair price I will. For a number of years it was stored as we went through the crazt DX7 D50 period where anything analog sucked! Little did we know….” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Up for auction is a Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 – Rev 3.2 Analog Synthesizer, Original Model 1000 from San Jose, CA .

It is in great cosmetic shape, except for one or two scuffs on the backside of the synth and works 100%. It was last serviced approximately Ten years ago here in Los Angeles. The synth does need a new servicing, as there are a few scratchy pots when turning certain knobs as well as the occasion key, hence the lower starting bid price. I hate to get rid of this beauty of a Synth, but times have forced me to sell my favorite Synth sadly.

One of the first fully programmable polyphonic analog synths, the Prophet 5 is the most classic synthesizer of the eighties! It is capable of a delightful analog sound unique to Sequential’s Prophet series in which the P5 was King! Five voice polyphony – two oscillators per voice and a white noise generator. The analog filters, envelope and LFO all sound great and are extremely flexible. The P5 had patch memory storage as well, which scanned and memorized every knob setting for storing and recalling your sounds – a desperately needed feature at the time! If you know the power of this synth, then you know how amazing the sounds that can be made on this beauty.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
