Sequential Circuits Prophet 600
The prophet 600 is a polyphonic analog synthesizer from 1982 build in San Jose California – with a very distinct raw muscular grumpy ‘warm stormy fall / winter’ sound. Put on the market as a cheaper budget alternative for the famous Prophet 5 though it definitely has a more rougher spartanic sound that makes it a bit more edgy. This is a particular good synthesizer for (electro) bass sounds – it might even surpass the legendary Pro one as unlike that instrument the Prophet 600’s sounds retain a lot of their bass frequency When the resonance goes up. Definitely not as ‘fluid’ as a pro one but the Prophet 600 has a lot more ‘power’ in its sound.
