One of the most interesting stories of the synth world is that of Dave Smith and Sequential Circuits. I decided to try to tell some of it via their flagship series, from the Prophet 5 in 1978 to the Prophet X in 2018. With the help of a dozen other people who were incredibly generous and equally excited by their instruments, this film is the result: The History of the Prophet Synthesizer. • Massive and heart-felt thanks to all of these awesome Prophet people, this film would be very short without you! • // • Prophet 5 (rev 3) and Minimoog Model D performed and recorded by Alex Ball at Curve Pusher Studios. • http://www.curvepusher.co.uk/ • Prophet 10 performed and recorded by Mike TC at 100 Things I do at MESS, Melbourne. • / @100thingsido • Prophet 10 rev 1 (only 2 of these have survived!) images provided by David Kean at Audities Studio • https://www.audities.org/ • Additional Prophet 10 images provided by Mathew Watson at MESS, Melbourne. • https://mess.foundation/ • Pro-One performed and recorded by Alex Ball. • Prophet 600 performed and recorded by JP Geersing • https://jpgeersing.nl/ • • The sound of a Prophet 600 with moder... • Prophet T8 performed by Alex Ball.
