The MIDI retrofit is using the poly sequencer's port which is why it isn't working. There were actually 400 made according to the book "The Prophet of Silicon Valley ".
I love all these classic synths because they hearken back to my younger days in the 70s and 80s. However, MAN am I glad I can get virtual versions of these that I can play on my PCs because I already hate to have all that analog hardware space taken up with them! All I can say is THANK YOU to Arturia, Korg, Native Instruments, and others for creating the virtuals of these synths! However, THANK YOU DR MIX for sharing the infectious joy of playing and creating sounds and music with them every week! Awesome sauce in an auditory package sprinkled with a WHOLE LOT of positivity by Dr Mix himself! Thanks dude!
I used to lust after the P10 after I saw Talking Heads playing one in the 80s. Now I have three Prophets 5s in my DAW, plus a Take 5. I think I'm covered.
I recently discovered this channel while on youtube looking for video on synths as I decided to start playing the keyboards again, you greatly helped in rekindling my interest! Bravissimo, continua così! Ciao dalla tua Roma
The sequencer isn't broken, -- it's disabled. The Prophet 10 has the internal sequencer disabled because a MIDI interface has been installed. The sequencer mini tape unit is only used for saving sequences (moot in this case).
the polysequencer is a good sequencer , you press record and choose a track fomr 1 to 8 and you play, that all, repeat loop mode or normal palyback mode , i have it alone with my prophet 5 , a masterpiece.
Woow Claudio! Che bel strumento! Questo natale ho spolverato il mio P5, era da un po' che non lo accendevo e penso che deva essere revisionato, suonava un po stranno :-) complimenti per l'occasione di suonare il P10.
I remember selling my Oberhiem OB-X so I could get a Prophet-5 Rev2 (everyone was using them) with 1 more voice than the OB-X. I was soooooooo disappointed. I wanted my OB-X back but it was too late. Later I got a PPG 2.2 which was in the shop more than in the studio. Those days were back breaking (Hammond B3 and Rhodes.) Young folks now have everything I dreamed of. My KingKorg is wonderful as are my soft synths. TRUST ME you do NOT want one of these miserable beasts unless you are sadistic. There are really good reasons why these were discontinued.
Blue Eyed Soul Man OBX vs P10, tough one. Both great. And when they are working, sound much better than anything since, especially plugins or virtual versions. Same for Hammond and Rhodes. Not only do they sound better, there is something visceral and wonderfully creative playing them.
In 1983 or 4 a guy I worked with took me to see a 'Synthesizer' as his mate worked at Parkside Studios in Leeds UK. On the floor in a flightcase in an empty room was a Prophet 10. I played on it for 10 mins but was disappointed I couldn't reproduce anything that sounded like the Electro Pop hits. I don't know who actually owned it as Parkside wasn't a top studio by any means! The guy said they cost about £5000 which in '83 must have been more than a luxury car. Given how rare you say these were there can't have been many in the UK and I would like to think there is a good chance it is the very same one you have there!
Prophet 10! A rare keyboard, indeed! They were prone to overheating and other problems but, was a pro-keyboardist's dream. Tony Banks used effect pedals with this, as well as other keyboards he had. Also, would've been a difficult keyboard to tour with, as they are heavy!

Surprised they don't have a road case for the P10!
Thanks for the video and your work here. Any opinion/ review plans on the UVi Vintage Vault 3 yet? It is on sale till 31st of January 2020, and I would be pleased to hear your real opinion on it.
Based on my understanding, the background of the Prophet 10 is inaccurate. Based on Mark Vail's account in "Vintage Synthesizers," the original Prophet was designed to be 10 voices. The first Prophets sold were all 10 voice units, but they ALL had to be recalled due to overheating. So, they ripped out one of the 5 voice boards as a solution (what else could they have done?) and it became the Prophet 5. Of course, the 10 voice version was something Sequential had wanted to do, so they eventually got around to it after the rev 3 revision.
I think the Prophet was heavily used in the German soundtrack of the 80s animation series "Captain Future" by Christian Bruhn. It would be great if you could reproduce one of that tracks!
Yep another great vid mate.your one of the best out there.keep em comin.actually ,how do you get access to these fantastic beasts?.AND have you seen the korg arp 2600.
Wow! That’s all I can say, only ever seen a prophet10 once in a store and it was non-functional ( keybeds had been ripped off it many years earlier)......what an amazing mega-poly synth:)
Very good sound since 10:00 it sounds like and could be played 'seriously' for the organ work of Olivier Messiaen, extatic songs (from before-war work). Is Olivier Messiaen an influence for you, or does it come from an other artist, or simply improvised ? Is it possible to make this sound precisely and around with EVI software (would it sound very différent with Arturia or other emulation ?) . By the way it would be really cool to have basis curse by Dr Mix to know how make classic sounds of Moog, Prophet, .. maybe 30 great basic sounds you would show in detail, oscillators, enveloppe, detune, LFO... (As it would then be easy for a beginner to shape this one..) - Also I would like to know what is the song Dr Mix plays at the end after 13:30
6 years ago Slate had an article on the music of the original Terminator, with the clickbait headline: What time signature is it? slate.com/culture/2014/02/the-time-signature-of-the-terminator-score-is-a-mystery-for-the-ages.html They decided it was 13/16 although even that is not quite accurate. Because Fiedel was working with analog gear and nothing was sequenced, he didn't bother measuring out the meter on his Prophet-10. Analog electronic equipment back then had that Moogian tendency to drift off key and off tempo over time, so I can imagine his frustration at trying to sequence them in the days before MIDI. But because the song was born out of raw experimentation rather than a pre-planned effort through musical notation, he hadn't the foggiest idea what he had done.
I have a girlfriend and her name is Synthia with an S! She lives with me 24/7 and I love the sounds she makes when I press on her keys and play around with her controls! :D
*Starts like a shady drug deal* "You got the goods?" "Yeah, I got the goods.... you got a reputable chiropractor?" "I have some ibuprofen........maybe you could just help me carry it?" "How much does a bottle of ibuprofen weigh!?" "I meant the Prophet-10......" "What about it!? Hold on..... are you a cop!?"
Dude , I kept waiting for you to stack those oscillators and hit the bottom octave for the ultimate fat sound that board is capable of.. BUT YOU NEVER DID !!!!!!!
Whilst watching this video I thought to myself, should I let on I remember that sketch from Friends all those years ago too. Piv----ottttt... Tis probably wasted on the younger generation Claudio, but yeah I got it :P. Oh and thanks for yet another enjoyable vid. :)

The MIDI was aftermarket. I used one in our studio back in college and took it to get the MIDI mod done! I wish I knew where it was now!
2 prophet 5’s stacked up!
Precisely!
@@Doctormix SUPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

@@Doctormix Ah! I'm glad to hear that. Looking forward to it.
That’s was awesome Doctor...can’t wait for the DX1 video!!
That synth is a monster!
tony banks of genesis used this instrument for a while!
and Vangelis too
John De Marchi Yes, but moreso Prophet-5.
This was the organ on Abacab?
I think he used it until 1990. He was playing it at Knebworth the same year.

Offcource this guy is always in a good mood! Look at all the fckin gear he has!!! Wish I can have that someday! :O
The Prophet 10 sounds kinda like a Commodore 64 SID chip, only with more voices. Cool. :)
I want one!
Expensive AND rare- but NO CASE!?!?!?
If it breaks just go to Walmart and buy a new one
Seriously - no ATA300 flight cases??? Even I schmoe like me has purchased flight cases for my synths and they rarely if ever get used. Ooof.
There will be a Behringer clone available from next week :)
@@tauttechminusmanagedmusic3778 WAIT THERE'S A THE PROPHET 1O BEHRINGER CLONE?

In 2019, there was a Prophet 10 in very good condition for sale in Toronto, Canada.
What this shows me is how similar the Prophet 6 is. The character of the tone is the same.
Cant wait til you get your hands on the new Korg Wavestate !
It's one of those synths where you needed to lock everything else out for a while. Alone, with the synth, always worthwhile.
You tell them that everything that comes into your studio is all yours 😋
No way! i WISH!!
Used by John Carpenter and Alan Howarth from Halloween II to They Live. I can only hope we will see Dave and Sequential do a new version.

BTW, the original had a microcassette on the side for storing all the memory, including the programs and sequences.
