In an interview w/ Sound On Sound, Rob Swire of Knife Party [formerly Pendulum] states this about his Sequential Circuits Prophet 10:

"We did record bass guitar," says Rob, "and it's used as a layer like the guitars on some tracks, because it adds a subharmonic that gets lost otherwise." Nevertheless, most of the leads and basses on the album are, as you might expect, synthesized, and although the studio boasts a mint-condition Prophet 10 and several other desirable analogue synths, Rob has some other favourite sound sources that are more unusual.

It was initially misconstrued as just a dual-manual Prophet-5, but this wasn’t the case. It was a different instrument in its own right. I wish I still had mine."
