That IS just how it works with talented musicians. You could give Jeff Beck the most worthless electric guitar in the world and I can guarantee you that he would make it sound like a highly desirable instrument.
This was a carefully crafted demo of the Prophet-600. There is magic when the pulse is modulated slowly during those arps. I don't own a Prophet-600 but I've always felt it sounded like it had a huge sweet-spot. This video reaffirms my hunch.
Thank you Patrick! Totally agree with you on the huge sweet-spot. Every time I pull out the P600, it's a matter of a few seconds of tweaking and the magic is there.
Prior to the Gligli upgrades this would've been my definition of an underrated synth, which was reflected in the low prices they were selling for in comparison to some much less capable machines, in my opinion. Yet another synth I came very close to buying only to pull out at the last moment. In this case, as unlikely as it might seem, I felt that it occupied very similar sonic territory to my JX10! Regardless, I do now somewhat wish that I'd bought it.
Outstanding video here! I just found a Prophet 600 locally for $800 (AS IS)... Great shape cosmetically - it will need work to get it running. But, it included a fully working Maestro Phaser PS-1 (!!!) in great shape.
@@rimela There was also a nod to another New Order track from the "Low life" album ("Elegia"?) and the first track seemed to be channeling OMD's "Enola Gay".
@@MisAnnThorpe yes I was really into it 😃 New Order, OMD, even Jarre came along. Usually I completely compose my own arrangements, but I couldn’t help myself 😁
Thanks! I used only Reverb and Delay from Ableton Live. Mixing was also done in Ableton. If you want I can make the Stems available (dry recordings, no effects).
Yes, both the original P-600 as well as the GliGli update have the possibility to sync the clock to external source. The way to set this up differs however. With GliGli be sure to use a recent OS version (in earlier versions the Arpeggiator and Sequencer functions were disabled).
@@andyfin990 Oh I understand, btw really nice setup back then, but you would have needed another device. The 808 has DIN sync. Roland had ‘Sync Box’ devices like the SBX-80 that were the center for syncing different instruments DIN Sync / MIDI Clock / Trigger Pulse. I think using one instrument (probably rim shot, using all 16 notes or whatever interval) output on the 808 might have been used to sync to the Trigger input of the P-600, but I’m not shure.
@@rimela cheers for that, I also had a pro one and that sequencer clocked great to the 808, later on had a tr707 and ensoniq 16+ sampler,, great times, sorely missed...👍🙏
Your work is outstanding. I’m starting to believe you’ll make just about any synth sound otherworldly.
Hi Edgard, that's a fantastically nice compliment. Thank you very much!

Fantastic. Thank you!
@@aldipower You’re welcome. Thanks!
I ❤ Prophet 600, a thing of beauty.

Excellent work. Wish I had 10% of that skill set.
@@synthmaven Thanks! 🙏

@@billrebsamen1810 Thanks. Sounds like a great deal (if you get the P600 working).
Wonderful moment !
Thanks for that !👍
You’re welcome! And thank you for the nice comment.
Great sounding synth!
Dude! You are so freaking GOOD!
Thanks! 🤗
Beautiful!
Thanks!
great channel 💗👌🏼
Kinda enjoying that bright "straight to the point" CEM 3340 sound within this machine. Great showcase!
Thanks!
The beautiful "downgrade"!
Nice work.
Thanks!
Well done
Thanks!
I wonder how close would this track sound on the pro-800. They are both gligli. Your compositions are worthwhile listening too!
Wauw🤩🤩🤩
🤗
Testimonial love letter. (What’s not to be loved✌️🎧)
New Order the beach. Nice
Hi Edwin thanks! Yes New Order indeed, though I think they used a Prophet 5, but the P600 does the job as well
@@rimela There was also a nod to another New Order track from the "Low life" album ("Elegia"?) and the first track seemed to be channeling OMD's "Enola Gay".

That was the 600 being run through how many other devices ?? That was awesome work , I may have to listen to it again
Thanks! I used only Reverb and Delay from Ableton Live. Mixing was also done in Ableton. If you want I can make the Stems available (dry recordings, no effects).
@@rimela that would be great..
Hi Randy, the Stems are available for download.
Very nice!
Thanks Fred
Could you clock the sequencer to a drum machine?
Yes, both the original P-600 as well as the GliGli update have the possibility to sync the clock to external source. The way to set this up differs however. With GliGli be sure to use a recent OS version (in earlier versions the Arpeggiator and Sequencer functions were disabled).
@@rimela oh right, I had a p600 early 80's with a DX 7,and tr808,, could never manage to clock the sequencer or arpeggio
