• Sequential Circuit Pro One – Alive after 20 years!

    Posted on April 17th, 2011, 10:01 pm by davealex

    Back in “the day” when I was picking up analog gear like it was trash to the new “digital synth craze” I was able to procure this for $35 (it was DOA). I have purchased 2 CPU chips over the years but they were DOA as well. Finally, I ran across this new Turbo-CPU chip from Music Technologies Group. I have yet to install the MIDI part, but the SCI is working like new!


    What a great piece of gear; I HIGHLY recommend MTG and appreciate his passion for keeping old synths alive!

    Here is a quick drone track I did immediately after it was working. The first time this machine has talked in at least 20 years!

      thanks for the great post Dave, I just put in an order for this myself! My CPU seems to work fine with the exception of the arpeggiator. Am excited!
