An early 8-
voice polyphonic sampler synthesizer, with a 61-
note velocity &
aftertouch keyboard. Relesed in
1985.
The Prophet 2000 is essentially a
low quality 12-bit sampler with a tiny 256
K memory upgradeable to 512K. For
sample storage a 3.5"
floppy drive is available. With the included
analog VCFs and
VCAs one can
apply trendy filter effects over the sampled
sounds.
The keyboard can be
split into 8
layers. An
arpeggiator is included, and
MIDI support is there as well. These things combined with a
cheap price can make the Prophet 2000
useful, despite its less-than-
optimal sampling capabilities.
