Up for auction is an autographed Rev 3 Sequential Circuits Prophet 5.  It was personally tested and signed by its inventor, Dave Smith in 2015.  The keyboard is in excellent condition.  Electronics test to factory specs and the keybed is super quiet.  To the winning bidder, we will include a 61-key gator gig bag and back-up data cassette.  Feel free to message any questions.  Good luck!The Prophet-5 is an analog synthesizer that was designed and manufactured by Sequential Circuits between 1978 and 1984. With five voices of polyphony, the Prophet-5 is one of the first polyphonic analog synthesizers with patch memory. About 6,000 units were produced in three revisions by Dave Smith and John Bowen. This was later accompanied by the Prophet-10, a version with ten voices of polyphony through an additional circuit board and keyboard.The Prophet-5 is known for its use by progressive rock bands and film composers. Due to its success, the Prophet-5 has been emulated in software synthesizers and analog hardware. Through his company Dave Smith Instruments, and later under the Sequential Circuits brand, Smith has developed updated versions of the Prophet-5.  The Prophet-5 was developed by Dave Smith and John Bowen for Sequential Circuits, with the goal of creating a true polyphonic analog synthesizer with the ability to store and recall patches.
