The Sequential Circuits Prophet-5......

One of the instruments that's been on my wish list since the late 1970s. The Prophet-5 is a polyphonic analog synthesizer. Unlike a Minimoog, I can play more than one note at a time on it. But I have the same control over the sounds, and can store up to 40 patches. Maybe when I have about $3000 in disposable income, and have good luck on EBay, I can have one of these. But until then, I'll make do with this online demo in three parts. Each part is about 8 minutes in length.

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

Trivia: If I remember correctly, the original score for Cats called for two Prophet-5 synths.
