Sequential Circuits

The Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, combined five-voice analogue polyphony with microprocessor-controlled programming and storage of complete synthesiser sounds. As the world’s first fully programmable polyphonic synthesiser and the first musical instrument built around an embedded microprocessor, the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 established principles of sound storage, recall and computer-controlled analogue synthesis that became fundamental to subsequent generations of electronic instruments.

The Sequential Circuits Prophet-10 was as a ten-voice, dual-manual programmable analogue synthesizer that expanded the Prophet architecture into a more powerful performance instrument. Combining two independently programmable five-voice sections, four keyboard assignment modes, 64 program memories, extensive modulation, programmable three-band equalisation, automatic tuning and an optional polyphonic sequencer, the Sequential Circuits Prophet-10 represented the most comprehensive implementation of Sequential Circuits’ original Prophet.

Sequential Circuits Drumtraks is a 13-voice digital drum machine with individual tuning and volume per sound, comprehensive real-time editing, six separate outputs, cassette backup, multi-standard clock sync and MIDI for velocity-sensitive performance and tight integration with contemporary sequencers and keyboards.
