“For sale by original owner, purchased 1986, serial #02241. Exterior condition: excellent; never left my studio – but diskette drive needs replaced (“Lh” locked head error msg, will not read disks). (There have been replacement drives on the market – also USB-based floppy emulators from companies like HxC and N-Drive that specifically support the Prophet 2000, but I have no experience with those.)
61-key velocity-sensitive keyboard (no aftertouch)
12-bit sampling at 42K, 32K, or 16K
512K sample memory (two banks of 256K)
8-voice polyphony
Great-sounding analog VCFs (with resonance) and VCAs
Samples can be mapped into 8 layers across keyboard
Loads samples via internal 3.5” diskette drive (or MIDI Sample Dump Standard, SDS, if you can find appropriate software)
Built-in arpeggiator
MIDI In/Out/Thru
Original footpedal & approximately 100 sample diskettes (3.5”) included. (Can’t guarantee that 100% of them will read, given their age and because I can’t load them with its current floppy drive – however, approximately 35 backup copies—smaller boxes in the photo—are also included.)
Spring for pitch-bend was replaced.
No original manual, but PDF copies are easily available online.” Click here to search for synths on eBay
