The Prophet 600 is an FM synth.

No no no. Here's how to do it on your Prophet 600, assuming the Pro53 is similar enough. Set Osc 1 to square, Osc 2 to triangle. In the poly-mod section, set OSC B to modulate Freq A (at maximum). No other modulation. Have the PW of OSC A in the middle (normal). OSC A should be +1 octave above B and...

bluesynths.com has demos showcasing the filters

Well the CZ101 and the CZ1 actually do sound a little bit different, but all it is is that the CZ101 lacks the high response of the CZ1:

I would say the internal demo is almost as important The Chief, or the sound + interface, ie everything.

Well to begin with, none of the customers actually care

I must say that none of those synths are good for learning subtractive or even FM synthesis. Not knobby enough for a newbie really. I don't like this idea that synths for people not familiar with synthesis have to have to be covered in knobs. Subtractive synths really aren't that hard to figure out...

This very website says:
Roland Juno 106
Chroma Polaris
Nord Lead 2
Sherman Filterbank 2

obviously some of these didn't exist in 1995, but it might give some ideas anyway

Although I think Stab Frenzy may be partially or wholly correct, because the OSCar does have the additive oscillators. Or maybe they are many many DCO sines?

Not too early if you consider that the PPG 1020 and 1003 had DCOs in 1976 or so.

OSC OSCar

ultra-rare PPGs from the 70s

did you type "DCO" into the search on vintagesynth.com
or were you hoping that we'd dig up something that you hadn't thought of or heard of... because that's going to be expensive

FM7 allows this too. They update it and allow the carrier to be the audio in (a "sample"), but still only one audio in.

A ring-modulator does that for amplitude modulation (you provide the samples obviously).

But quite frankly, what your describing would create hellish noise.

I always how and with the sounds where made, maybe a DX7 along the CS80 and Prophet 5?

It does sound like there are some FM sounds in prologue...
