Sequential Circuits Prophet-5: Keeping The Metal Out Of Your Synth

May 22, 2008
MIDI Mod Prophet-5, Part 5

In our last look at Ross Kelly's modification-in-progress on the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, Ross was drilling holes for his MIDI in and out jacks. In this video, he screws in the jacks and talks about covering your ins and outs so that nothing loose and disruptive gets in the way during the installation process. Ross also talks about why finding integral, older components like chips for the Prophet-5 can sometimes be tricky, even (or perhaps especially) if you're dealing with someone who has quite a bit of them.

Stay tuned for the next installment for more on MIDI with Ross Kelly and his Sequential Circuits Prophet-5.
