Description
I am selling my Sequential Circuits Prophet-3000 sampler. It's a REV B version (the latest circuit board revision) with 4MB memory. It comes complete with the User Manual, some new spare Sequential Circuits IC chips and parts to keep it alive, some original Prophet-3000 sample disks, some user made disks of Prophet 10, Prophet VS, an Xpander disk, and some flutes and things like that. Also included is the WCP1.6B OS disk needed to use a SCSI HD and a Prophet 3000 Diagnostic disk. This sampler has been completely recapped and calibrated to factory specifications back in 2013. I've been testing all the functions over the past week and confirmed everything is still in great working shape. It's really easy to record and playback samples. Editing is a breeze. It has features previously unavailable like automatically detecting pitch and mapping accordingly. You can instantly apply filter templates to your samples to change the envelope and resonance parameters to mirror those of a piano, drum, horn, strings, things like that to apply a realism to your sounds, or individually adjust all the parameters numerically or using graphs. It's 16 bit and up to 48 KHz. It uses the Sony CX20018 A/D converter like Eventide used in the H3000 for high end audio fidelity. It's got 8 assignable outputs. It's got the Curtis CEM3387 filter chips onboard for that analog warmth. These Prophet 3000s are extremely rare, almost prototype status. With REV B many of the bugs were worked out, though by design there are some quirks. MIDI OUT doesn't do anything, the jack is there but it was never implemented in development. If too many processor events happen while editing a previewing a new sample, the unit may produce a run away note, there's a KILL function in the menu to turn the note off if that happens. Still, it's a cool sampler and sounds huge and warm with synthesizers. Everything will ship in the original Sequential Circuits box it originally came in. Thanks for looking!
