Sequential Circuits Prophet 2000 Sampler - Expanded

via this auction

"Sequential Prophet 2000, expanded to 8 individual outs and 512KB RAM. This sampler really sounds great, can be surprisingly clean for a 12-bit sampler but lowering the sample rate will give you that classic low-fi grit! It has some unusual features for a sampler such as analogue filters and an arpeggiator. All this at a far lower price than the likes of the Emulator II are going for these days...

The voices are a bit strange/garbled when the keyboard is turned on 'cold' but they always work fine when restarted. Not sure why this is, maybe just a quirk of the machine? Other than this it all seems to be working as it should, it loads and saves discs OK and I've managed to sample into it. The disk drive is a bit fussy with older disks but I've tried it with some new TDK DD discs and they work perfectly. I've tested each of the individual outputs too and they seem fine. The pitch/mod wheels work and I've got signals in and out of the MIDI ports."
