The Prodigy was the 1st synth I ever bought. At �400 I was gonna forgett it, but took the risk anyway. And now I am soooo glad I got it! Sending it through a BOSS anologue guitar pedal makes it kaick ass even more than it already does!
A kick ass instrument

I found my one in a room of a student who paint the moog black. O.k. I,ve got a job to do. Now the panels got the original color again. I love this instrument because it give me a special kind of feeling. The sound can be so mellow or otherwise raw. Use it in combination with a good reverb. I use the instrument in combination with cubase SX and play it over a audiotrack in combination with a Doepfer converter. Believe me. This is a very good comabination. Play a little with the nice filters and the tune knob.
Greetings. MoooooN.

A prodigy is maybe not a minimoog. That's totally true but a prodigy is a great bass machine. I use my one in combination with cubase sx (as sequencer) in combination with a doepfer mcv4 midi converter. TIP TIP TIP. Send it true a channel with a nice mod-delay and you've got a great bass sounds. Wow, wow wow. Jippy Ya YOEHOE. Try it!!! I like the design, I like the wood I like the knob's And most of all the interval unison. Play with it use it on a creative way..Jippie Ya yeeeeh.

I finally got my MiniMoog and the Prodigy a few months ago. Sorry, but I have to agree with the MiniMoog purists: The Prodigy definitely can't compete with the Mini. It is quite limited, less warm/fatt and doesn't give you the pressure on deep basses that blasts you away when just tickling the Mini's lower keys - guess that missing OSC does make a difference ;-)
BUT: The Prodigy does have its own sound again, though, which the Mini can't give you. My favourite: Just below self-resonance, with a good amount of contour and an audible cutoff freq., feed it through an overdriven tube pre-amp or other means of warm distortion while quickly tweaking the pitch wheel to change the sync on accents of your acid/lead line and it sounds like a hmmm... anyway - GREAT ! (Listen to The Prodigy's 'fire starter' intro...)
Again: IMHO, if you need a good deep bass guitar or even lower subbass style synth, try the Mini, the DX7 (yes!) or the MS20. But hey, everyone has different recipes here ;-)

A nice little synth but it is a bit limited. I bought this little guy about 13 years ago for $125 USD. It came with the box (long gone) and the manual. I was shopping for a synth and I couldn't afford any of the newer digital boards. It does produce some cool sounds which are nice and rude. My Yamaha AN1X is very polite and well behaved in comparison. Hook it up to an effects unit and it sounds better than many VA synths. I may need to have it serviced and cleaned even though it spends most of it's time in storage. Does anyone know of a shop in the NY/NJ area which specializes in this type of service? Thanks.
