- What is Sequential known for?
- Sequential is the revived Sequential Circuits name, founded by Dave Smith, the creator of the Prophet-5. Its current line centers on analog polysynths like the Prophet-5, Prophet-6, OB-6, Take 5 and Trigon-6, plus the Tempest drum machine.
- Which Sequential synth suits a first analog polysynth?
- The Take 5 is the most compact and simplest entry point, with five voices, two VCOs per voice and a knob-per-function panel. The Prophet-6 offers six voices and a fuller feature set if you want more headroom.
- Does Sequential offer a warranty?
- Sequential instruments carry a limited warranty covering manufacturing defects, typically one year for most products. Keep your proof of purchase, since warranty service is handled through the brand or an authorized dealer.
- What is the difference between the Prophet-6 and the OB-6?
- Both are six-voice analog polysynths with similar layouts, but the Prophet-6 uses a discrete Curtis-style filter for a punchy, classic tone. The OB-6, designed with Tom Oberheim, uses a SEM-style state-variable filter for a rounder, more vocal character.
- Can the Prophet-5 and Prophet-10 be serviced or expanded?
- The modern Prophet-5 and Prophet-10 are faithful reissues with MIDI and USB, and they support firmware updates. Voice expansion between the two models is not user-swappable, so choose the voice count you need up front.
- Are there Sequential discount codes?
- Deal.ai checks what Sequential products actually cost at every store, so a real markdown shows on this page as a deal as soon as it starts, and each product's page has its price history to tell a sale from its usual price.
