I’m speechless… this synth is beautiful! Awesome! Amazing!… Audio is 20% coming from the camera (stereo) and 80% coming direct from the synth.
Synth Legends: True Or False?
Sequence 15 has a great post today looking at the stories behind several synth legends.
Are they true or are they false?
Here’s a short excerpt:
Story: Prior to the creation of MIDI, Sequential Circuits had designed a serial bus for musical instruments which was much faster than MIDI.
Verdict: True. The interface was implemented on the Rev3 Prophet-5; it allowed a sequencer to play the synth, command program changes, send and receive program data, and receive key presses from the P5’s keyboard. The obvious question to ask, then, is: why didn’t Sequential propose this as the MIDI standard?
Get the full story at the Sequence 15 site.
This is a vintage synth demo by retrosound of Sequential Circuits Prophet-600 “Prophet Strings”:
Some say the Prophet 600 is crap at making pad sounds… I think the problem is not the synth.
The Prophet 600 does not sound like a Prophet 5, but the Prophet 5 cannot sound also like a Prophet 600.
