De Prophet 6 is gebaseerd op de polyfone synth waarmee het allemaal begon, de Sequential Prophet 5. Maar de prophet 6 is niet simpelweg een reissue van de 5….volgens Dave Smith zelf is de prophet 6 het resultaat van de moeite die gedaan is om de meest perfecte klinkende analoge polyfone synth te maken. De prophet 6 heeft de het beste uit de prophet 5, zoals echte analoge VCO’s, filters en amps, en maakt gebruikt van studio kwaliteit effecten, een polyfone step sequencer, arpeggiator en meer.

SEQUENCER

Polyphonic step sequencer with up to 64 steps and rests

EFFECTS

Stereo analog distortion

Dual, 24-bit, 48 kHz digital effects, including: reverb (room, hall, plate, spring), delay (full bandwidth digital delay and emulated bucket brigade and tape delays), chorus, and phase shifter

Delay sync

Sequencer start/stop footswitch input

POWER

IEC AC power inlet for internal power supply

Operates worldwide on voltages between 100 and 240 volts at 50 to 60 Hz; 30 watts maximum power consumption

De Prophet verkeerd in zeer goede staat, niet letterlijk als nieuw misschien maar heeft ook eigenlijk ook geen gebruikssporen, enkel wat kleine imperfecties op het hout.
Is net terug van een kleine servicebeurt waar de ic processor was vervangen.
Helaas heb ik de originele doos er niet meer bij zitten.

Een ruil voor bijvoorbeeld een Udo super 6.

Liefst ophalen, maar kan eventueel ook opgestuurd worden.
