EricG Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 Hello ! I have stumbeled across a Prophet 5, and I am thinking of buying it. The board seems to be in good shape. Looks very good, sounds good too,... The errors: *The modulation wheel is broken. *One of the filterknobs seems to be a bit dusty, when turning the knob it does not make a smooth transition, you can hear it in the sound. (Sounds kind of cool,.. ) *When playing dual OSC sound some keys sound a little more off tune yhan others,... (Charming,...) So the big question, how much would you guys pay for such an instrument? (I can get it for about 750$) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peake Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 That's a good price for either revision P5, with our without MIDI. (The earlier versions, the Rev1 and 2, use SSM chips for the sound and the Rev3+ uses Curtis chips. I strongly prefer the SSM version P5s, if it matters. The SSM versions are more touchy repair-wise too.) The filter pot might simply be displaying a digital control artifact (stepping). It's been a long time since I've played with one but if the effect is the same at any position on the pot, and not only in one or two, then it might just be how the instrument works.

R_dup1 Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Sounds like a heckuva deal; I'd go for it!! After you get it, you'll want to get a survival kit from Wine Country Sequential so you can keep it running in good shape for many years to come. It's a great synth and that's a great price.

Steve Sorry about that Steve, I figured you would already know about it. Burning Busch (great name b/t/w) beat me to it though. The WCS guys are several of the engineers behind the original Prophet and Sequential synths and they are generally considered the best resource for all things Prophet.
