The Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" concert from 1983 featured the use of the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 synthesizer. In the song "Making Flippy Floppy" it plays a small backing role throughout the song, but can be heard distinctly during a synth bridge in the middle of the song, and a synth bridge towards the end of the song.

It was manufactured starting in 1978, and was one of the early synthesizers which allowed the user to store patch information in memory. It was also an early polyphonic synthesizer, and allowed up to 5 voices to be played at once.

Arturia currently offers an emulator for the Prophet-5 (in combination with a few of the Prophet-5's predecessors).
