WORKING CONDITION: Excellent. This Prophecy is extremely feature-laden and sounds great. The guitar effects pedal modeling adds a unique twist to its sound design capability and the keyboard action feels solid.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Very Good. There is an aged patina to the white keys, but the chassis is solid, and the buttons, knobs, screen, iO jacks, and mod / pitch wheels are all sturdy.

INVENTORY #59314

BRAND: Korg

MODEL: SSP-1 Prophecy Solo Synthesizer

FUNCTION: Keyboard Synthesizer

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a Korg SSP-1 Prophecy Solo 37 Key Monophonic Synthesizer. The Korg Prophecy is a groundbreaking 37-key monophonic modeling synthesizer released in 1995 that helped pioneer the virtual analog and physical modeling revolution of the mid-to-late 1990s. Driven by Korg's MOSS (Multi-Oscillator Synthesis System) engine, it became a legendary tool for electronic music producers, stadium ravers, and keyboard virtuosos alike—powering signature sounds for iconic acts like The Prodigy, The Orb, and Radiohead.

SPECS:

• Serial # 220302
• The Prophecy stands out because it bypassed the static sample-playback (PCM) technology dominant in the 1990s in favor of dynamic digital signal processing. It features seven distinct synthesis types split into 12 flexible algorithm configurations:
  • Virtual Analog (VA): Delivers aggressive, fat oscillators and realistically modeled resonant filters that emulate classic Moog and ARP hardware.
  • Variable Phase Modulation (VPM): Korg's unique '90s take on frequency modulation (FM) synthesis.
  • Physical Modeling: Uses advanced algorithms to mathematically simulate acoustic physics, offering expressive emulations of brass, reeds, and plucked strings.
  • Cross / Ring Modulation & Sync: Perfect for creating harsh, moving textures and industrial tones.
  • Comb Filtered Noise: Great for generating complex, organic, and evolving sound effects.
• The raw signal chain includes an onboard sub-oscillator, noise generator, a dual wave-shaper section for distortion/clipping, dual multimode filters (serial or parallel routing), 4 LFOs with 30 waveforms, and a comprehensive multi-effects section modeled after '90s guitar pedals.
• The Prophecy was intentionally designed as a "Solo Synthesizer" built for live performance articulation. Rather than traditional modulation configurations, it utilizes a highly expressive control setup:
  • Log Controller: A unique physical barrel structure combining a standard pitch wheel with an integrated ribbon controller strip on top.
  • Dynamic Aftertouch: The 37-key keybed features highly responsive velocity and aftertouch, fluidly changing the tone or filter onset as you press into the keys.
  • Real-Time Knobs: Four banks of five assignable parameter knobs let you tweak custom modulation assignments or envelope values on the fly.
