\n Prophet 5<\/a>
\n<\/strong>there ar<\/strong>e basically 3 Revisions
\nthe first one had SSM chips (78), rev2 (78 -80) still ssm and rev3 (from 80) had curtis chips.. there was also a chance in the VCA and DACs architecture due to the change from the (different) ssm chips.
\nrev 3 also divides into 3 sub-versions:<\/p>\n

the first one (3.1) added the edit mode as we know it today (change parameter when turning the knobs) and the tape interface (compact cassette) and other little things
\n3.2 was minor changes
\n3.3 changed it to 120 presets to be saved instead of 40 but you can not store them in one go to tape without copy..<\/p>\n

some are MIDI-retrofitted, some aren’t..<\/p>\n

this synthesizer was the first „real“ 5 voice synthesizer (after the 4voice from oberheim and others..)<\/p>\n

interesting: the so called poly mod. for making the sound more interesting ;)<\/p>\n

see the left section? this is the key to the prophets..<\/p>\n

<\/a>Prophet 600<\/a><\/p>\n

the „cheaper“ version of the Prophet 5<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

the parameters were more „stepped“ and some mod routings have been removed compared to the Prophet 5<\/a><\/strong> but it was much cheaper and had to compete with the polysix and other poly synthesizers in the 80ies..<\/p>\n

anyway it still sounds comparable..the difference:
\nit has no noise generator and pwm is missing in poly mod section.<\/p>\n

the 1983 released Prophet 600<\/a> was the first midi equipped synth to talk to the jupiter 6 (same time) in omni mode and later ones in poly mode.. (very few)<\/p>\n

the weak point on the Prophet 600<\/a> is the keypad like the sitraks keypad this is the weakest thing to check for before getting one..<\/td>\n

the SCI ProOne (Pro1)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

basically one voice of the p5,so it’s monophonic.<\/p>\n

Powerful Oscillators but a quite low quality of the construction itself. very easy and a Sequencer and Arpeggiator is also on board. it was the post poly-synth era, so they did it to make a solo synth that normal people could afford..<\/p>\n

it is simply a dual keyboard dual Prophet5 boards for 2×5 voices…<\/p>\n

the PROPHET 10<\/a><\/strong> is quite rare, possibly it was too much.. ;)<\/p>\n

3 Versions of this were made..
\nsince this is a P5<\/a><\/strong> related synth but doubled it also reflects the P5<\/a><\/strong>’s rev versions in another way..<\/p>\n

the first one was a rev1 „doubled“, the 79 version of course was more close to a rev 2 p5 (doubled)..<\/p>\n

perhaps the early one was only double voices but not „multi timbral“ style..<\/td>\n

<\/a>SCI SIXTRAK<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong> <\/strong>one of the first mono mode midi synthesizers.
\n6 voices. and a very simple sequencer.<\/p>\n

todays view: you can switch it to double mode and tune up the LFO for nice FM filtering..<\/p>\n

it’s only one VCO per voice, thats why it’s better to go to dual mode.. stable but you need a nice info about the progging stuff (midi and stuff is progged by those numbers on the right side!.. the parameters are printed on the case.. but the midi stuff isn’t..)-eg: double mode is track rec & select 2<\/p>\n

-midi clock input: speed full left<\/p>\n

-prog change enable\/disable: ctrl rec.+1<\/p>\n

-local on: track rec.+7
\n-local off: track rec+8<\/p>\n

-wheel\/param.change: ctrl rec.+4<\/p>\n

-dump to midi:ctrl rec+2
\n-dump all 100: ctrl rec+9<\/p>\n

dump seq: ctrl rec+0<\/p>\n

midi modes:
\nomni on: track rec+1
\npoly on: track rec+3
\nmono on:track r.+4

\n6 voice synthesizer<\/p>\n

the sequential TOM and MAX were also part of a „system“. the Commodore C64 as a sequencer was used at that time!<\/p>\n

the max<\/a><\/strong> is more like an „expander“ and it can beedited via software (c64: the SCI 920 software will do it.. or sounddiver from emagic today!) it’s (beside no real editing) the same as a sixtrak.<\/p>\n

the 4time polyphinc TOM<\/a><\/strong> was a more advanced drumtraks (well, it also looks like a more coloured drumtraks,too) ;)
\nwhy? more parameters! (tuning per instrument)<\/p>\n

the later (1986) studio 440<\/a><\/strong> was the top model and sequencer and was more like the mpc60 then just a „drum machine“.. 12bit sampling (44.1khz max.) and filter (no reso)! max memory: 512KB RAM. 8 voices. and „swing“.<\/td>\n

\n, so far.. also „for the home user“-mono mode synth..

\nalso 1 VCO (pwm,sqr,tri,saw,noise) per voice but also mono midi mode, so it was quite sophisticated for 1985! other synthesizers used to offer poly mode only.

the ENVs could be looped and the user had the chance to make some spectra (additive!) for use as one of the DCOs..
\nyes, this is a hybrid synth.. the evolver (above) has the same waves and hybridness, but is far more extended..<\/p>\n
