Excellent condition, with some wear as expected for its age (mostly on the bottom and sides, top/front is quite clean). Includes rare RAM Model 240 cartridge for saving & storing extra sounds ($200 value). Pictures are of actual unit for sale. 100% fully functional. Only thing worth mentioning is aftertouch is not reliable (it was never working on any Prophet VS even when new due to flaw in the original design).
One of the coolest & unique sounding vintage synths, nothing sounds like the original Prophet VS. A king for ambient haunting pads, but can also do awesome bass, leads and effects plus a great built in arpeggiator that can act as a sequencer (note rests can be programmed) plus random generator feature.
I will also send the winning buyer 23 Sysex patch banks that I have saved over the years from various VS keyboards & racks plus ROM & RAM cartridges (some patch sets may be duplicates, but many will be unique).
If you need an awesome dedicated hardware controller for the Prophet VS, please ask, we have one in stock.
