Title: Smell coming out of the Prophet
Post by: johnsimmons on September 07, 2022, 07:32:01 PM
Hey everybody,

I just got my Prophet 5 and it's been a lot of fun setting it up and getting used to it, but i've noticed it is really putting off a smell in my room. It seemed to go away some when i turned it off for a few hours for dinner and stuff, but now that i'm playing it again it's back. I'm guessing it's not something on the exterior but an exhaust. Sort of an electric, ozone kind of smell. It was strong enough that i had to open a window and run a fan for a bit.

Not really a complaint, since it will probably go away, but it's the first brand new gear i've ever noticed that had a smell. OLD smelly gear, well, thats normal. Anyway, i probably smell too.

2 days later, and it seems like it went away. Probably just flushing out the stale electrons. Anyhoo...
