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.
