I had a rev 2 prophet 5 (the one with SSM 2040 chips) back in the 
early 80s (this was before MIDI, for all you kids out there). The 
filters sounded fantastic, especially on brassy swells. 
Unfortunately, I don't have that synth anymore (sob) so I can't do 
side-by-side comparisons to the 440. But I do have some recordings of 
me playing the prophet and I have been able to recreate those sounds 
with a 440 and the rest of the MOTM line. JH did a great job in 
recreating a classic.
