Sequential is an iconic American synthesizer manufacturer, renowned for its pioneering contributions to the development of analogue and hybrid synthesizers. Founded in 1978 by Dave Smith, the company (initially known as Sequential Circuits) revolutionized the music industry with its Prophet-5, the first fully programmable polyphonic synthesizer with digital patch memory. This groundbreaking instrument allowed musicians to store and recall sounds, making it a landmark development in music technology. The Prophet-5 became a defining instrument of the late 1970s and 1980s, widely used by artists across genres, from pop and rock to electronic and film scoring.

In recent years, under the leadership of Dave Smith, Sequential has continued to push boundaries with modern re-imaginings of classic instruments as well as entirely new designs. Notable products include the Prophet Rev2, Pro 3, OB-6 (in collaboration with Tom Oberheim), and the highly acclaimed Prophet-6—all of which blend vintage-inspired analogue circuitry with contemporary features like MIDI integration and digital control. Sequential’s synths are celebrated for their rich sound, robust build quality, and expressive interfaces, making them favourites among musicians, producers, and sound designers alike. The company remains a key player in the world of synthesizers, bridging the gap between vintage warmth and modern versatility.

Analogue

An analogue synthesiser is a type of electronic instrument that generates sound through analogue circuitry, using voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), filters, and amplifiers to create and manipulate audio signals. Unlike digital synthesizers, which use binary code and samples to produce sounds, analogue synths rely on continuous electrical signals, resulting in a warm and rich tonal quality often associated with classic music production. The sound generation process typically involves shaping waveforms, such as sawtooth, square, or sine waves, which can be further modified using various modulation techniques, allowing musicians to create a diverse range of sounds and textures.

Analogue synthesizers often feature hands-on controls, such as knobs, sliders, and switches, providing a tactile and intuitive interface for sound design. This direct interaction allows musicians to manipulate parameters in real-time, fostering creativity and experimentation during live performances or studio sessions. Although they may require more effort to program compared to their digital counterparts, analogue synthesizers are cherished for their unique character, unpredictability, and the organic nature of their sound, making them a favourite among electronic musicians, composers, and sound designers seeking to capture the essence of classic synthesis in their work.

Keyboard

A music keyboard is a versatile musical instrument consisting of a set of keys or buttons that produce different pitches when pressed. Keyboards come in various forms, including acoustic pianos, electric pianos, synthesizers, and MIDI controllers. They allow musicians to play melodies, harmonies, and chords with ease, making them fundamental tools in a wide range of musical genres and settings. Keyboards often feature additional controls such as knobs, sliders, and buttons for manipulating sound parameters, and they can be connected to other devices like computers or sound modules for expanded functionality. Whether used for classical, pop, jazz, or electronic music, the keyboard’s intuitive layout and expressive capabilities make it an essential component of modern music production and performance.

New

This product is brand new, unused, and in its original packaging. It has never been opened or used, ensuring you receive it in pristine, factory-sealed condition, just as originally manufactured.

It is ideal for those who want the assurance of a fresh start with their gear.

Polyphonic

This synthesiser supports polyphonic playback, allowing you to play multiple notes simultaneously. With its ability to create lush chords and complex harmonies, it’s ideal for composing rich textures in your music. Whether you’re crafting intricate soundscapes or layering parts for a full arrangement, the polyphonic capabilities ensure your sound remains vibrant and dynamic.

Synthesizer

A synthesizer, often abbreviated as synth, is an electronic musical instrument that generates and manipulates sound electronically. Synthesizers create sound through various methods, including subtractive synthesis, additive synthesis, frequency modulation synthesis, and wavetable synthesis, among others. They typically feature oscillators to produce raw waveforms, filters to sculpt the timbre, envelopes to shape the sound’s amplitude, and modulation sources to add movement and complexity.

Synthesizers offer a vast range of sounds, from classic analog tones to futuristic digital textures, and are used in a wide array of musical genres, from electronic and pop to rock and film scoring. With their versatility and expressive capabilities, synthesizers are essential tools for musicians, producers, and sound designers seeking to explore and create innovative sonic landscapes.
