Korg Prophecy SSP-1 Solo Synthesizer - Excellent Condition, Manuals & Power Cable Included

A truly unique digital/analogue modeling synth, the Korg Prophecy delivers a vast sonic palette, from classic analogue warmth to cutting-edge, expressive sounds. It features MOSS (Multi-Oscillator Synthesis System) technology, offering powerful physical modeling, rich analogue emulations, and dynamic wave sequencing that responds beautifully to your playing.

This unit is in excellent condition for a 30 year old instrument, only the slightest of marks on the side and has been meticulously cared for in a smoke-free studio environment. It functions flawlessly and looks superb.

What’s Included:

  • Korg Prophecy SSP-1 Synthesizer
  • Original Owner's Manuals
  • Original Power Cable

The Prophecy was a "secret weapon" for many major artists in the mid-to-late 90s, particularly within the electronic, industrial, and alternative rock scenes.

Notable artists and bands include:

  • The Prodigy: Liam Howlett used it extensively on the album The Fat of the Land, notably for the lead riff in "Smack My Bitch Up".
  • Radiohead: Jonny Greenwood used the Prophecy during the OK Computer sessions for tracks like "Airbag," "Climbing Up The Walls," and "Lift".
  • Nine Inch Nails: Used by Alessandro Cortini and featured in their industrial-layered soundscapes.
  • Depeche Mode: Utilised the Prophecy for its advanced analogue emulations during their late-90s era.
  • Orbital: One of the prominent dance and techno acts to adopt the unit for live and studio work.
  • Ryuichi Sakamoto: The Yellow Magic Orchestra co-founder was filmed performing with the unit.
  • The Chemical Brothers: Frequently used the Prophecy for resonant sweeps and distorted textures. 



Collection only as I don't have a box and wouldn't want to risk it with a vintage instrument - I could deliver within a 10 miles radius if that helps.

I have it for sale elsewhere so it may go quickly.
