SCI Prophet 5 Rev3.3 with REV-1 Kit

The Prophet 5 is an iconic analog polysynth, and was one of the first synths to use RAM storage for presets. It has 5-note polyphony, with two oscillators per voice. Rev 1 P5's are very rare (and rather unreliable), and were hand-built. Rev 2's are highly sought after, as they use SSM filter chips and have a huge sound. With Rev 3, CEM filters were used, some circuits were redesigned, and the sound was not quite as big. The REV-1 modification kit for the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 reverts the Rev 3 sonically to the earlier, much bigger-sounding Rev 2! The two Prophet 5 versions sound different due to the nearly complete redesign of the voice architecture to use Curtis’ CEM chips instead of Dave Rossum’s SSM chips for the transition of the Rev 2 to the Rev 3 model. This difference in sonics has made the Rev 2’s more desirable - and significantly more expensive. This unit is in very good condition, having been checked and refurbished by our professional technicians here at Syntaur.
