In this video, synthesist Starsky Carr captures the process of upgrading a Sequential Prophet-5 to a Prophet-10.
The process takes about a half hour, but Carr condenses it down to 8 minutes.
Electro-Harmonix has introduced the Intelligent Harmony Machine Harmonizer / Pitch Shifter Pedal, a pitch-shifting harmonizer that lets you automatically create diatonic two- and three-part harmonies.
Diatonic harmonies or chords are ones based on the standard notes of the scale in a key.
The Intelligent Harmony Machine also performs polyphonic pitch shifts, so the pitch shifts you dial up are applied to chords as well as single notes. A Major/Minor switch lets you select whether 2nds and 3rds will be major or minor.

Pricing and Availability
The Intelligent Harmony Machine is available now for $230.
