Yeah it’s Sequential’s first Prophet, monophonic, before the Prophet 5.

Man, that filter
love it when the clipping self-oscillation sets in
More normal operation, still beautifully aggressive, and self-oscillates

the MS-20 is such a perfect creation.
There is a french band called “Marvin” that use a MS-20. It’s a part of a big project where 4 french bands are playing all together with 4 stages and the public is right in the middle. I’ve seen them once, crazy experience, most probably my best concert experience so far.

I’m not going to buy another hardware synth (last year taught me that) but damn:

My problem with analog hardware synths is they are immensely fun to play with but difficult to use in practice in a real band setting. I never even considered owning one back then, digital all the way. Saving and browsing patches in flexible ways was a godsend. Plus there’s the whole warming up, falling out of tune, drifting, etc thing with analogs. Last year reminded me of all that.
But analogs are a lot more fun to play with, for sure.
and about Prophet’s …
the whole song is excellent but the synth starts arount 3:30
(I hate the compression on the drum but that’s not the point)

The nice thing about all the new perfect digital models of the analog classics is I can enjoy them now without their disadvantages, yeah!

I really need to try and work mine in more. The problem I seem to have with them is that by the time I work in a sound I like, I find I’ve rolled the depth and rate knobs down to 0, at which point it’s just a 2 band EQ pedal.

maybe you would like an EQ pedal then

It’s awesome.
Its filter circuit is really interesting actually, it’s a pair of second-order Sallen-Key filters in series, giving this fourth order circuit with both a hi-pass and low-pass cutoff control and (since 4th order) 24dB/octave slope.
SIT makes great strings. I got SIT Power Wound medium gauge 45-105, hex core strings for my shorties. At 20 bucks, they’re well worth trying.

I thought of giving SIT strings a try…

SIT doesn’t have the deep marketing budget of D’A, EB or GHS, hence, neither the reach, but they do make great strings. For example, their long scale Foundations are really fine.
