🙋🏻‍♂️ Welcome and foreword

Hello dear musician friend and welcome to my Reverb Shop! I am glad that you are interested in this article. Be sure that each of the instruments offered is in very good and tested condition. Everything comes from my private collection and is treated with a lot of love and passion.

I am aware that I am one of the higher-priced providers, but I really try very hard to present the devices very transparently and also to make you, the buyer, happy. The packaging of an item takes me between 2-4 hours because I double and triple secure everything to ensure carefree transport. The quality of the instruments and my work is my number one priority! I am always available if you have any questions. I hope you enjoy reading the description.

🎹Information about the item for sale

I am selling a legend among the Synthesizers. The Prophet VS is in a very good condition and can be used immediately. Full checked and full working.. it is really a very well-preserved device! Potentiometer and contacts have been cleaned. It has been extensively tested and everything works perfectly! Please note that I am only selling the device without accessories. No bags, cases, stands, Manuals, Speakers or anything else. Only the musical instrument including power cable is supplied.

⚙️Specs
The VS features a five octave (C-C) velocity and pressure-sensitive keyboard with eight-note polyphony. You can split the keyboard for two four-note polyphonic sounds, or layer it for a dual four-note sound. The velocity sensitivity is fine, but the pressure sensitivity on the model I reviewed was very stiff indeed.

Each of the Prophet's voices has four oscillators (A, B, C and D) which are mixed together with a left-hand joystick. This isn't sprung, but if you return it to the centre position the oscillators all have the same share of the mix. Each oscillator can have any of the 128 available waveshapes, as we'll see.

The VS features a sprung pitch-bend wheel and non-sprung modulation wheel, a 32-digit LCD for displaying sound names and other parameters, a two-digit LED patch number display, and ten Program Select buttons. Most programming is achieved through use of a data entry slider, but parameters are called up with mechanical buttons and there are conventional rotary knobs for Balance and Volume. The VS is very much a stereo instrument and I recommend that you have both rear output sockets connected up whenever possible to make the most of the sounds.

On the right of the main panel there's a slot to load further sounds from a cartridge, and a table of the Source/Destination combinations possible for the modulation functions - not as complex as those on the Oberheim Matrix-6 I might add, but pretty comprehensive. A similarly useful diagram at the top of the panel shows the five-stage envelope for the filter, amplifier or wave mix, plus the points around which the envelopes can loop (again, I'll delve into this later).

The VS filter has simple cut-off, resonance and envelope amount parameters, but its frequency can be modulated in several ways by two LFOs, velocity, pressure and much more, making it a pretty versatile tool.

And just to finish off the mechanics, there's a rear panel Aux jack socket to duplicate the arpeggiator latch function; an Alternate Release jack socket for a footswitch that's usually programmed to give a piano-like sustain; MIDI In, Out and Thru sockets with a switch to select Alternative Out functions on the Thru socket; and audio jack outputs in the form of Left/Mono and Right/Headphones. There's also a small preset to alter the viewing angle of the front panel LCD readout.

The VS holds 100 sounds in its memory, and since each oscillator can have a fixed or moving position in the stereo spread, you may find yourself using the Balance control quite a lot. Single, Split and Dual keyboard modes are available, and you can also use Unison to combine all 32 oscillators on a single note for monster bass sounds! The depth and routing of the velocity and pressure sensitivity and the modulation wheel, can all be programmed for each memory, but the pitch-bend depth can only be programmed up to a musical fifth for the keyboard as a whole.

I would really appreciate it if you read everything :) More information about buying from SynthFreak!

📹 Video before & after the purchase

Any interested party will be happy to receive a video of the instrument on request. Pictures say more than 1000 words but a video probably even more! So that you can get a better picture of the device on offer, I offer all my interested parties a video of the device. Every buyer also gets a video of a detailed check UP before shipping. So you can look forward to your device even before it is shipped and received and you already have a first glimpse of your new instrument. If I notice during the check that something is not working properly, the device is immediately handed over to my technician for repair.

💲Prices

It is very important to me that my devices come into good hands! If you can't spend that much money right now, due to the current economic situation regarding the pandem.. In all of my offers, I offer the option to send me a price proposal. If you are really interested, just send me an offer, if this is possible, I will of course accept your price proposal.

⚠️INFORMATION

All my synthesizers and keyboards come from my private collection, which is constantly updated. All devices are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected and tested! Every device that is for sale is taken from my collection and already wrapped in foil to avoid dust deposits and other soiling.

📦SECURE PACKAGING

It is very important to me that you as a customer are satisfied, and that your ordered instrument is intact and in top condition arrives at you. I attach great importance to safe packaging because you never know how the parcel delivery service will handle the parcel. For this reason, I pack every instrument in a very safe way so that everything arrives undamaged and we are both satisfied. Take a look at my "SECURE PACKAGING" now! Every instrument is packed exactly this way, you can find pictures in the picture gallery.

💢Shipping during pandem.

Due to the pandem. it has become much more difficult and expensive to send parcels abroad! Since the pandem. measures change regularly, I always look for the best, fastest and safest shipping service for you so that you receive your instrument on time. With me you can be sure that you will receive your package even during the cov. pandem.

⚡Power and connection

My instruments come from the EU, so the power cable is also equipped with an EU plug. If you live in a non-EU country, it is possible to use different adapters for the power connection. It is also often possible to set the transformer to the voltage of your country, or you simply use a current transformer which is often offered on the Internet for 30-50 €.
