“I am selling this Keyboard for a friends wife. He suddenly passed away two weeks ago. She has bills, rent everything coming up. I’m trying to help her, I don’t really know her. I just knew her husband.

Anyhow, I’m selling a Prophet 2000 SEQUENTIAL Keyboard. I just plugged it in, it lights up. I do not know how to work any of the controls. I plugged it into an amplifier and I got some sounds. I don’t know how to play keyboard at all or I don’t know how to program it at all.

Therefore I’m selling it as is. This was his working rig. So hopefully it will work okay. It has two small toggle switches on the back, I believe they will need attention. They are both kind of wobbly.

SOLD “AS IS”. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Sequential Circuits Prophet 2000 sampler
with original manual & memory expansion board fitted

******** Around 90% of my studio gear has to go ahead of moving into a smaller purpose built space, so 50 or so items to list over the next couple of days, mostly vintage synths, samplers and drum machines, plus a few effects and 500 series modules and more modern items etc. All top notch studio gems and rarities with the emphasis on what sounds good, rather than what costs a fortune. Some of this stuff you won’t see again any time soon, so keep checking back as I’ll literally be photographing and listing on repeat! ********

OK, the Prophet 2000. HUGE sounding machine, works great, was serviced in October 2021, invoice included, £160 spent. It has the full original manual file (these can sell for £100 on their own), and has the superb Synthechnics memory expansion board fitted, which is a modern reliable version of the old 2x one, doubles the onboard memory, and was another £100 or so.

UK power lead included, and the original manual is in excellent shape. A few marks and scratches here and there and a bit of old gaffer tape residue on a back corner, but no structural damage, all controls are fine, servicing included the floppy drive but no discs included, you might want to go down the floppy emulator route these days anyway (personally I was always happy with keeping it stock and just firing stuff in and out of the DAW).

Anyway, check Espen Kraft’s video or any other review to see what this thing is capable of adding in a modern studio setting. Literally only letting it go as I have a Mirage I’ve owned almost since new which I’m irrationally attached to, and only one vintage sampling keyboard can stay in my new slimmed down set-up. But it was a close call!

Collection in person only, might be able to meet up somewhere for handover but really prefer not to ship it, these heavy old metal cased keyboards are just not worth the risk.”

“I’m selling this Prophet 2000 synth as-is since it has an output issue. I haven’t dove deep into this synth but bought it used last year & each feature I messed with did work, including the disk drive & sampling. But when using factory sounds, either headphones or external speakers, it will play two notes panned hard left, then two hard right, then two left, and so on. Also the first note on the right is a bit buzzy each time. If I load a sample disk, it will do this ping pong panned output issue rotating with 4 notes each side. So no stereo output. At least this is what it was doing when I used it last week to prepare it for auction. I looked for this issue online and found one mention of this problem, but if you work on synths, perhaps this is the auction for you. Maybe it’s an easy fix for someone who knows what they are doing. It comes with the power cable and a stack of disks, half of which successfully loaded & half that either weren’t recognized or had some loading issue, so those could be considered blanks I suppose. The picture with the disks spread out is the stack that loaded properly. Nothing fancy, just a lot of basic sounds, the real magic is sampling your own stuff anyways. Physically, it’s a tank and just has a bit of scuffing & some white marks here & there. Keys are all solid and all work as well as buttons & knobs.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Dave Smith’s legendary sampler from 1985. It’s 12bit with variable sampling rates to get the warm, grainy sounds that machines from this era are famous for. It also has the same analogue filters as the Prophet 5.

It’s in near mint condition and has the optional memory upgrade installed as well as the latest 4.3B firmware. It also has a HxC emulator in place of the original floppy drive.I can deliver for the cost of petrol if you’re reasonably close to where I live, or you are welcome to collect. It’s a really heavy machine thanks to the steel case, so shipping would be expensive.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Sequential Prophet 2000 Plus (wavetable + Sampler), Arpeggiator, Case + Library. I am the original owner! I upgraded the memory to the maximum. The wavetables sound very good, I replaced the floppy drive and it works PERFECTLY! The filters are analog! I am including my own custom library. I was a keyboard department manager when this product came out and sampled tons of other synths/modules alone and together. I am including a Hybrid case as well as the original owners manual with all upgrade sheets. The Prophet, Case Library and Manual will all in one larger carton.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“The funky Sequential Circuits Prophet-2000 synthesiser.

An interesting early sampling keyboard from the 80’s.
Velocity sensitive, 8-note polyphonic, analogue machine.

All keys working (tested today!) etc etc.
In reasonable condition, just a minor few marks here and there as shown in the pics. The floppy drive MAY not be working correctly…I only have two discs to try to load from and the load command does signal a movement to the drive but doesn’t seem to achieve a successful load…so today I’ve just been testing with the 12 ROM sounds. The touch sensitive panel seems to be fine…….Sample input NOT tested.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Here we have my Sequential Circuits Prophet 2000 which is sadly not in the greatest of health. I’ve owned it for over 10 years, done some gigs, lots of recording she’s served me well. A few months ago I powered it up after not using it for a while and the display showed no power. Flicked it off and back on again and it powered up but no sound. Every other function works. You can select and load sounds, arp works and will control other synths over midi keyboard likewise. With the volume cranked you can hear a click that should be the sound . The filter will even have effect on this click. It has the gotek floppy emulator which has always worked perfectly and has been in it a good 5 years which I retro fitted fairly neatly. It also comes with an original manual which is a binder type and is massively useful and as a bonus was signed by the man who wrote all the sequential manuals Stanley Jungleib. I also have a sound library of about 200 discs on memory card and about 20 odd floppy’s. I’ll be very sad to see it go but I just don’t have the time or resources to fix it and am in need of something functional to replace it with. Remember this is for repair or parts.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
