Recently the prophet 5 rev 4 price was lowered to 3K. The prophet 10/rev 4 was lowered to $3,500.
Was wondering 🤔 why the new price. Was also wondering how long this might last . Does anyone know ?

I have no direct knowledge that relates to discounts specific products, but I have observed that this isn't just a Sequential thing.  Recently, I've noticed miscellaneous discounts on gear that probably wouldn't have been there 2 years ago, I've seen gear sellers on Reverb more accepting of lower offers, and YouTubers talking about changes to the economy starting to be felt.

Some say it's a combination of factors:   Spending on elastic goods softening due to inflation of non-elastic ones like groceries, layoffs in the news giving pause to spending, etc..    There's another school of thought that says everyone who wants to be working is, and because more people are back to work and busy, they don't have as much time to spend at home with music gear as they did during the pandemic, so the covid related demand spike for music gear is returning to normal ranges, etc. 

Then again, when I see discounts for specific products only, I wonder if it's just a way to make corrections to inventory demand over-projections.  There can be many causes.  I've seen so many fluctuations in synth gear prices since the 80's as a result of various factors that I don't read that much into it any more.  I get the instruments that inspire me when I want them and when personal budget allows.

From my point of view, Sequential is trying to clear out existing inventory of the Prophet 5 Rev 4 and Prophet 10 Rev 4 to make way for new models or revisions. A lower price tag can be a strategic move to attract new customers and boost sales figures, especially during slower periods.

The price of music products can vary based on many factors, including supply and demand, the market, competition, and the pricing strategies of manufacturers. It can actually be a new business strategy to increase sales or move inventory.

Knobs don't seem to be a Sequential/DSI main point, for whatever reason.

Maybe this is a business strategy. Consumers can buy it if they really need it and the price is right. This product line is also quite expensive.

Even if AI doesn't destroy humanity, it is already draining the life out of meaningful communication online.
I'm sad that a new generation of kids will grow up thinking that soulless exchanges of generic information is normal.

I feel like there is this attempt to make it seem completely inevitable. I mean it's not like AI signed up for that account and posted it "itself". So why do weirdos go through all the motions of posting lowest-grade info on synth manufacturer tech forums? What's the motivation?

Harvesting the responses from humans that interact with the AI posts to train and improve the AI’s responses presumably.

Thanks! Yeah thats helpful, I knew i was missing some piece of the puzzle. Helps me make some sense of it.

To Google, Sam A, hard workers in Malaysia, the Phillipines, et al: I give the response low marks. Not helpful.

It's worth keeping an eye on official announcements from Sequential and major retailers, as pricing changes can sometimes signal product transitions or be limited-time offers.
