I think that the Curtis chips may have later been replaced by SSM chips
(or maybe it was the vice versa).

Curtis' address is:
Curtis Electromusic Specialties
2900 Mauricia Ave
Santa Clara, CA  95051

I don't know if they are still distributed in the same form as
the Prophet version, but Curtis still seems to put out new
pro-audio chips.

SSM can be found at:
Solid State Microtechnology for Music
2076B Walsh Ave
Santa Clara, CA 95050

Last I checked (a few years ago), their chips are still available.
Anchor Electronics, next door on Walsh, distributes SSM parts.
I don't have their address, but it is readily found on lots of
electronic mags.
