Focusrite acquires renowned analogue synth brand Sequential

Focusrite is an audio equipment manufacturer known for producing some of the best audio recording and processing equipment. Recently, Focusrite announced that Sequential will now function as a part of the Focusrite group.

Sequential, formed by Dave Smith, has had a massive impact on the music industry. Their synths such as the Prophet 5 still remain to be one of the industry favorites when it comes to analog synths. Apart from the Prophet 5, synths such as the Prophet X, Pro 3 SE, OB-6, etc. are some of the key highlights of the wide arsenal of products produced by Sequential. Despite the acquisition, Sequential will operate as a separate entity and will retain its existing internal structure.

From his creation of the world’s first fully programmable polysynth (the Prophet 5) to his co-invention of MIDI, Dave Smith has literally changed the world of music several times. We’re looking forward to continuing his history of innovation and expanding the global market for Sequential’s instruments.”
