" Up for auction is a SCI Prophet 3000. These samplers filters are analog and sound amazing with there Curtis CEM chips same as Prophet 5 they are very warm and smooth and sound nothing like more recent digital filters and miles ahead of software samplers. There were only three 16 bit samplers that had analog filters to my knowledge The CMI Fairlight the EMU Emulator 3 and the SCI Prophet 3000. They all eventually replaced the analog filters with digital ones in later models and the sound was never the same.
This unit is in excellent condition both function wise and cosmetics. It was just serviced this week by Tom Virostek of Straylight Engineering. Tom replaced Several caps on Power Supply and main board. Also added more robust voltage regulators. Everything works as it should. Very shortly Tom will be offering a very nice memory upgrade for the 3000 check out the website for more details. A very nice guy by the way who does great work. I am also including a very large library over 120 disks of some great samples from Mini Moogs to Pianos The only thing Ive found is that sometimes floppy disks need to reinserted into the Floppy drive as they don't read properly. The Prophet also has most parts still available through Wine Country in Northern CAThe Prophet 3000 sounds truly awesome and in my opinion is a sleeper of a classic"
