” Zum Zustand kann ich sagen, dass er super funktioniert – eventuell abgesehen vom Diskettenlaufwerk. Ich hatte beim Kauf keine Disketten mit dazu bekommen und mit denen anderer Sampler nicht erfolgreich getestet. Der Vorbesitzer versicherte allerdings, es würde funktionieren. In jedem Fall fehlt der aufgesteckte Auswurf-Plastikknopf. Man kommt dennoch gut an die eigentliche Mechanik und kann Disketten ohne Probleme einstecken und auswerfen lassen. Notfalls kann man das Laufwerk austauschen, auch bspw. gegen den famosen und sehr beliebten hxc2001 floppy emulator. Ausserdem können Samples (bzw. Sounds) angeblich auch per MIDI auf den PC und vom PC übertragen werden – leider nie probiert.” Link
“Vintage PROPHET 2000 SEQUENTIAL CIRCUIT .
The machine powers up,all the leds work,we’ve been able to
sample from an ipod and play it on the keyboard.
The pots all functions.
The preset functions and have there 12 factory sounds.
We have not been able to check the floppy drive as we don’t have disks.
We did not perform a complete check as we don’t really know much about this keyboard.
There maybe some issues but at this stage except for the fact that it powers up and the sampling system works and plays
that’s pretty much as far as the item can be described.
This machine is sold AS IS .
It comes with a perfect fit hard case but with no handles.
The case locks,open and closes perfectly .
Some foam inside has been added to maintain perfect protection.” Link
“Up for sale is a Prophet 2000 Keyboard Sampler. I dug it out about two weeks ago and have been testing it. Everything seems to work as I remember. Using the presets, I tested the analog section, the sampler, Arp, Stack, LFO, pretty much everything repeatedly, including all of the membrane buttons. All working. The potentiometer knob works well and is very accurate, though I think it could use a touch of deoxit. The only thing down is the drive. I’m getting a Lh display when I try to load. This is an easy fix as you can get a new drive for it cheap. I believe Wine Country sells them as well. It’s important to let the Prophet warm up for about 15 mins until it becomes stable. Also I’d recommend digging into the manual (which is actually really well written) and reading about the mapping, splits, voices, analog section, panning etc. as this system was built differently to most modern synths. It took me a short while to get back up to speed. Everything is in layers, and you have to solo parts to hear what the analog section is doing. Once I relearned this, I started having fun with it again. It’s got a lot of color and character due to its Curtis based analog section, and the arpeggiator is a blast. I have lots of great synths now that also take up a lot of space, so this one can’t stay.” Link
“Up for auction is a 1985 Sequential Circuits Prophet 2000 synthesizer. It is serial number 260 and in good working condition. I’m including the power cable, some blank disks, and several patch disks, some of which are copies of the original factory patches. If you’re a fan of house music, you’ll recognize the strings Marshall Jefferson’s Move Your Body on one of these disks. This synth has identical analog architecture to the Prophet VS (the digital part is quite different). Lots of character.
The floppy drive on this machine has been replaced with one from my old Emax sampler. It works, but please keep in mind this drive is also almost 30 years old and shouldn’t be trusted. Much newer replacements sell for cheap on ebay should you want one. BTW LH means “Locked Head,” as in the drive on the other P2000 on ebay right now is very much dead.
Cosmetically it’s pretty good. There’s a few blemishes and a small amount of rust underneath the back panel. I didn’t notice it for the first few months that I owned the machine, but it’s worth mentioning.” Link
” Biete hier meinen SCi Prophet 2000 Sampler an. Bis auf das kleine Loch welches man im Foto sehn kann ist er optisch im guten Zustand, auch leuchten alle LEDs und jede(r) Taste(r) sowie die Potis reagieren wie man erwartet. Auch klappt das samplen und bearbeiten wunderbar, soweit ich durchblicken konnte. Insgesamt im gebrauchten Zustand, aber durchaus gepflegt.
Die Bedienung ist sehr verstiegen, weil ich da nicht ganz durchblicke biete ich den Prophet 2000 nun hier an.
Umtausch und Rücknahme nicht möglich, sollte jemand gegen einen vintage Synthesizer tauschen wollen freu ich mich über eine Nachricht. Ich behalte mir vor das Angebot vorzeitig zu beenden, sollte jemand einen fairen Handel vorschlagen. ” Link
“The board is housed in all steel and is a well built and very heavy beast. It is version 3.0, which has 512K memory onboard. This keyboard’s functionality has been tested, and is in fully working order. There are no dead keys, and all available parameters in the presets are functioning and respond to editing. I also tested the sampler and MIDI functions, and everything appears to be in order. I applied Deoxit to all the pots and everything works well and in a linear fashion. All LED’s light up so no issues there. I ordered a sound disk to test the drive’s functionality, and it works perfectly. I will also include this disk with the keyboard. Cosmetically the unit is not perfect but in very nice condition overall. I will let the pictures tell the story of the condition. I replaced one missing knob with a matching original from Wine Country Sequential, and it has some scratches on it. This comes with the power cord and original manual. ” Link
” The Sequential Circuits Prophet 2000 is an 8 voice, 61 key, velocity-sensitive synthesizer introduced in 1985. It features 12 bit sampling, analog VCF’s and VCA’s, MIDI, and an arpeggiator. This vintage keyboard is in excellent condition with 35 sample disks with original box and manual. (keyboard stand & additional rack mount modules shown are not included)” Link
“I purchased this Keyboard in the mid 1990’s. It was shipped immediately to Wine Country Productions for a complete tune up and service. Wine Country is a company made up of former Sequential Circuit employees and are experts in servicing of these instruments. I had a complete cleaning, a broken key replaced, all contacts cleaned and repaired on the keys, new input jack, new line switch, and the floppy drive replaced(at the time, wine country was only replacing drives with a compatible prophet 3000 drive which is what is in this synth now. The drive was smaller and leaves a empty space above the drive. I have cut and inserted a piece of black foam to fill this void. It can be easily removed and replaced with something to your liking if you choose to do so-I will leave that up to the buyer(see pictures)). Also to note on the drive is that it WILL NOT format blank disks. It is not that the drive is faulty, it just the way the prophet 3000 drive operates in the Prophet 2000. Formatted blank disks can be purchased directly from Wine Country inexpensively and that is what I was directed to do By Wine Country after the repair. I also purchased a 10 disc sound library(see list below). I had plans of upgrading the Memory to the 512k and bought all sounds in the 512k format. Sadly I never made the upgrade and therefore as a result only 6 of the 10 disks will load and those 6 disks do not use all of the keyboard(meaning they only play on small sections of the keyboard due to the mapping of the keys in 512k being read by 256k memory. You can get many sound disks right from Wine Country still in 256k format if you like, but the 512k upgrade is only $119(from Wine Country) and makes this synth a severe powerhouse. I am including a printed pamphlet with all of the upgrades and links for sounds, etc in the operation manual. Speaking of that, it comes with the original manual in a 3 ring binder. Intact and in great condition. Power cord is included as well.
Condition:
Cosmetically it is in good condition. Has some scratches, nicks, scrapes, etc that are expected in a machine of this age. The membrane is in good condition as well and has some slight cracking on the most used buttons as to be expected. The pots have some scratching on the tops and the pitch bend wheels have some scratches(see pictures for further detail of actual condition-you decide). Overall it looks great and has been well loved and cared for. ” Link

” Up for sale is my Sequential Circuits Prophet 2000. I’m selling because I need some money, and because I also have a Prophet 2002, so I really don’t need this. It will come with a cord to plug it in, and 11 disks.
Some key things about this keyboard:
has midi capabilities
i believe the sampling is 12-bit
ANALOG FILTERS, with resonance
nice action with the keys
kind of complex with it’s mapping of samples across the keys, you could really do some neat stuff if you learn your way around it
NICE ARPEGGIATOR – you can go into a mode where you can add new notes to the sequence by playing them, and the sequence can be pretty long, so you can just add some notes, then play with the filters, etc
NICE doubling/quadrupling/octowhatevering feature. you can layer 2,4,or 8 (maybe 6 also) voices to play on each key press, and detune them to get a FAT sound.
LFO can be used for volume to get tremolo, pitch, or the filter, or all 3 at once.
it works! it’s in good condition, nothing majorly wrong with it physically, but not brand new looking- pretty much the type of physical shape you’d expect it to be for its age.
THE DISK DRIVE WORKS! it seems to load pretty well too (better than my 2002).” Auction ended. Click here to browse on eBay.

“Prophet 2000 keyboard
12-bit sampling synth keyboard from Sequential Circuits from 1985. Used by the likes of Depeche Mode, the Cure and Ultravox.
61 key midi keyboard with velocity and aftertouch. Built in arpeggiator.
Contains eight ANALOG 4-pole FILTERS with resonance.

“Pretty Good condition except for marks to outer casing, and one chipped under key which does not hinder playing or feel.
Expanded to 512k memory. Serial number is very low, possibly the first UK Prophet-2000 but cannot confirm.
Comes from BBC Maida Vale studios where it was used as a MIDI master keyboard.Any questions then please feel free to ask.

“This is a rare and lovely sampler/synth. It’s had all the upgrades available giving it 8 separate outputs and I think more memory. It was used to write the theme for the TV show ‘The Net’ back in the late 80′s or early 90′s and I’ve owned it since 1995. I had it serviced and repaired by The Synthesizer Service Centre back in 1999 and hardly used it since I moved to a smaller place. It’s a 16 bit machine that uses 4 bits for the operating system leaving 12 for the sound giving it a unique ‘edge’ and some lovely gutsy results. the built in patches are classic vintage sounds and it does wonders with whatever you record in or upload from a floppy disc. If you’re looking for that unique, authentic, vintage sound in a machine that’s a joy to mess around with look no further. I’ve loved it a lot but it needs to go to a good home where it will be used.
The down sides are. It has some damage to one of the output sockets which still works and can be easily replaced. It sometimes sends tiny amounts of midi data on the mod wheel channel which shows up on midi recorders but so far has never actually caused any midi events. Being such a unique device the OS is a bit weird but if I can get my head round it anyone can. It comes with full manuals so no problems getting it going.” Auction ended.

“HELLO! Up for auction is my SCI Prophet 2000 sampler. I have used it on all my productions. It just has a sound that no other sampler can give. It all has to do with the analog filters, lfo’s, and envelopes. I am only selling as I just bought an emulator III to handle my sampling duties. If you have never used one of these, you are missing out. Anything you sample into this baby comes out bold, big and sweet. I believe it has to do with those AWESOME FAT analog filters.

“This is a used Sequential Circuits Prophet 2000 Digital Sampling Keyboard from the mid-1980′s. It has 61 velocity sensitive keys, 8 voice polyphony, and each voice has an analog VCF and VCA, which is a very useful feature.
The keyboard works great and is in very good cosmetic condition – these are the issues that I noticed while testing for the auction:
The MIDI THRU/OUT switch is missing.
The LINE/MIC switch is stuck in the LINE position.
Otherwise, the keyboard has normal wear from usage that is not unusual for its age – some scuffs/scratches. The membrane over the EXECUTE, 1, 2, and 3 buttons has some extra wear, but the buttons all function perfectly.
I tested the basic functionality, such as the buttons and keys, the audio output, MIDI in and out. I also recorded a sample through the audio input, and stored it on a floppy disk using the built in floppy drive. I formatted the disk in the same drive before loading the sample to it. Finally, I powered off the sampler and loaded my sample from the floppy disk and verified that it worked.
Includes the power cord.
The manual for this keyboard sampler is well written and easy to understand. ” Auction ended. Click here to browse on eBay.
“Reluctantly selling my Sequential Prophet 2000, expanded to 8 individual outs and 512KB RAM. This sampler really sounds great, can be surprisingly clean for a 12-bit sampler but lowering the sample rate will give you that classic low-fi grit! It has some unusual features for a sampler such as analogue filters and an arpeggiator. All this at a far lower price than the likes of the Emulator II are going for these days…
The voices are a bit strange/garbled when the keyboard is turned on ‘cold’ but they always work fine when restarted. Not sure why this is, maybe just a quirk of the machine? Other than this it all seems to be working as it should, it loads and saves discs OK and I’ve managed to sample into it. The disk drive is a bit fussy with older disks but I’ve tried it with some new TDK DD discs and they work perfectly. I’ve tested each of the individual outputs too and they seem fine. The pitch/mod wheels work and I’ve got signals in and out of the MIDI ports.
Cosmetically it’s in decent condition. It’s got its fair share of scuffs and scratches (as you’d expect from a 25 year old keyboard) but nothing is broken, everything works as it should. It looks like the data entry pot has been changed at some point. I’ve got an original Sequential knob that doesn’t seem to fit on the pot, that’ll be included in the sale and I’m sure fitting an original pot wouldn’t be a major problem. (They’re still available from Wine Country)
Included in the sale is a printed copy of the manual (in a massive ringbinder!) and six sample discs from Wine Country including a surprisingly good Grand Piano and some Oberheim OB8 samples that really make the most of the analogue filters.” Auction ended. Click here to browse on eBay.

“This prophet served me well until the disk drive stopped loading samples. I have replaced the disk drive twice with no results. They spin up fine but the unit does not recognize them. Which leads me to believe that the original was probably fine and the problem lies elsewhere. Everthing else works great. Keyboard is wonderful, arpeggiator, all internal sounds, and all other controls are fine. I have lots of sampled sounds on disks that will be included. Should be a simple fix for someone who knows electronics. This is a fun instrument with very good sound quality. Wine Country Productions in California does restorations on them.

Das Original-Manual (Englisch) ist vorhanden – die Original-Disketten aber leider nicht mehr auffindbar.
Die technischen Details stehen sehr schön ausführlich bei Vintage Synth
Betrachtet und verwendet den Prophet heutzutage nicht mehr als ernsthaften Sampler – sondern seht ihn mehr als einen 8-Stimmigen analogen Synth (immerhin hat er schöne analoge Curtis-Filter) mit Samples im DCO statt Basis-Wellenformen – so macht die musikalische Anwendung noch richtig Sinn.
Auch der Midi-Syncbare Arpeggio macht richtig Spaß !
Das der Prophet ein “Lo-Fi” Sampler sei ist Blödsinn – die Samples sind kristallklar bei 40kHz/12bit und 70dB Signal to Noise Abstand. Aber man kann das Resultat durch den Filter sehr “dirty” oder auch warm klingen lassen.” Auction ended. Click here to browse on eBay.
