![]() That might be an unexperienced musician’s downfall! When playing the instrument for the first time, when recognizing first small damages on the speakers, most people might be worried about that strong audio signal leaving the mixing console. It is not a dominating instrument and seems to be camouflaged with some really weak hardware components. Anyway, when listening to each instrument’s power, you’ll recognize it’s not true, not at all.įurther, the Pro-One won’t build up another battle line between ARP-enthusiasts on the one side and MOOG-admirers on the other side. That rumour – the one Prophet-5 voice – seems to be very insistent. And it is NOT synonymous with a Prophet-5 single voice. The Pro-One is NOT a simple synthesizer with just nice VCOs and a great filter. It may be ranked among the Top-3 monosynths, right next to the Minimoog and ARP 2600. It must rate as one of the most complete of the commonly available (vintage) monosynths ever. While the cute Pro-One Model 100 might be only one tenth of the great Prophet-5 Model 1000 considering hardware, it has its own musical territory, its own power that probably never will be beaten. Wheather some were never sticked on Pro-Ones at all or if they fell off after some time … who knows! The majority of Pro-One owners doesn’t know that at all, simply because many instruments lost their serial-plaquette. While the original five-voice Prophet was called Model 1000, its smaller single-voice brother, released 3 years later, was called Model 100 … A strange move, considering that the company paved the way for polyphonic synthesizers back in 1978 with their all-time-classic (original) Prophet-5. Quite at the end of the great analog aera, Sequential Circuits presented their first and only monophonic in 1981. It was released at a time when monophonic synths had to fight a final battle against polyphonics, which became more and more popular. Sequential’s Pro-One synthesizer is a miracle.
