JJ Abrams Synthwood Sequential Circuits Pro-One

Yes, this JJ Abrams

THE JJ Abrams of Bad Robot that brought us Alias, Lost, Fringe and is about to bring us the new Star Trek film. If you were a fan of Music Thing you might remember that JJ Abrams is actually a synth aficionado from this post.

THIS IS his Pro-One redone by Synthwood. You can find more images of it here.

So... My question is... When are we going to see an obscure synth on Lost! Come on JJ, it would fit right in, you can do it! :)

Labeling this one as "Featured." If it's not worthy of the label, I don't know what is... Think about it, the guy behind Bad Robot is into synths! [Lost is my favorite show on TV BTW]

Note the inscription on the modwheel casing in the bottom shot.

"Sequential Circuits Pro One, no modifications. Serial 5131. Looks almost new and has been fully serviced and tuned.

New bushings, J-Wire cleaned, all pots and switches cleaned. All pots changed to Prophet knobs. White noise fixed, external audio input fixed so that it does not distort at normal levels.

Sounds VERY Pro-One!"

Love the look of the metal Prophet-5 knobs over the original plastic. It gives the synth a more robust look. Made me think of Synthwood's wooden case for the Pro-One. JJ Abrams had his done. :) You'll also find a white one in the archives.
