In 1985 at the music fair in Milan Prophet 2000 was introduced - the first sampler made by SCI. Compared to its predecessors (E-mu Emulator and Ensoniq Mirage), the synthesizer got the sample rate almost twice bigger (12 bits versus 8) and offered quite...
Studio 440 is a further development of the idea first implemented in Prophet 2000. The wide possibilities allow Studio 440 to remain a relevant instrument today, with only a few limitations: a small amount of built-in memory (512 KB) and low resolution...

Right when the legendary professional instruments were developed, Sequential Circuits decided to make a counter move and try to take a niche of budget synthesizers for learning and for churches. In order to implement the intention the brand turned to...
One of the world's first multitimbral synthesizers created to work together with a computer (Commodore 64). A computer program allows you to program voices, and together with Drumtraks you can get a complete MIDI system. The architecture used in Six Trak...
It is a kind of monophonic version of Prophet 5 (referring to the third revision, with indiscrete VCOs). It has a standard "prophetic" structure: an analog controlled by a microprocessor. Unlike Prophet 5, Intel 8021 was chosen as a microprocessor in Pro...
TOM is one of the legendary instruments made by SCI, the capabilities of which seemed ahead of time, and surely raised the bar for other manufacturers. The "humanization" function was incorporated into this device much earlier than the term...
