I made a clip of both Prophets. One is on the left and the other is on the right. I tried to match volume and settings as closely as possible so that the differences between the two were as minimal as possible*. Let's see who can guess which is on which channel. Have fun.
Prophet 5 revision 2 and 3
*This is by no means meant to be a definitive study or such. It was done on the fly, but it's still pretty accurate.

Excelent. Intriguing. Nice done of you.
I guess that the rev2. is in the left channel.

Re: SCI Prophet 5 revision 2 and 3.
Who knows... they both sound good. All Prophets sound good to me so I don't really care about the rev debate thing.
Re: SCI Prophet 5 revision 2 and 3.
Thanks for doing this. I'd also guess left is the rev.2 (both sound good though).

Re: SCI Prophet 5 revision 2 and 3.
Add me to the crew guessing that the left channel is rev 2. There seems to be more high end detail w/ more resonance.
Makes me want to go try this myself
Heath, are you using a P5 for the rev 3 sound or a P10 ? Mono vs Stereo would make a big difference.

Hi Urge,
I'm using two Prophet 5's. No Prophet-10. I figured that wouldn't make it quite fair.

By the way , you're killing me w/ both the Matrix 12 and the MM+. Just thought you'd get a chuckle....

Yup, revision 2 Prophet-5 is on the left channel and revision 3 is on the right.
