"The PE-2000 was a professional synthesizer when it came out in the 70's and was widely used by the pioneers of 70's electronic music. For a sample of the sounds of this amazing synth listen to late 70's Vangelis or Tangerine Dream especially on the "Thief" soundtrack. This is Korg's second production synthesizer and truely prehistoric when it comes to synthesizers. This was Korg's attempt to get full polyphony in a synthesizer. It has three oscillators per voice and sounds monstrous. Here is a sound sample of the string patch http://www.till-kopper.de/korg-pe2000/Strings.mp3 (note this is Till Kopper's site) Here is a youtube video featuring Tangerine Dream using the PE-2000 to good effect: [below]. Also JM Jarre's Equinox Part 8 is nearly all done on a PE-2000. This keyboard is massive and heavy! It's about the size of a marshall 2x12 combo amplifier, but no need to worry because the shipping is free!"
