Sequential circuits samplers

<<Anyway, the internal sounds don't seem right to me.  About 4 or 5 of 

the twelve make a sound when selected, the rest are fundamentally 

silent.  Does this sound like there's an issue?


When I was fooling around with the sounds I could load from the 

disks, it seemed that some had been messed with as if the mappings 

were off.  Not all of the sounds, just some.  Some of them did not 

play in the top octave of the keyboard, and one the lower octave.  Is 

this ringing any bells?  Any problems of note here, other than my 

unfamiliarity with the board itself?>>

best way to check it's working properly is, paradoxically, to let it boot 
normally with no disc-sounds loaded. what you're hearing is probably a 
consequence of the upper and lower transpose limitations of the machine- at different 
sample rates, it can shift a given sample only so far up/down the keyboard. 
also, discs designed for machines with less memory or with longer samples don't 
necessarily fill up all the sound locations in the machine. so even a working 
factory disc might leave gaps in the memory or memory locations- you could check 
all their sizes and see if they add up to.... er..... (scratching head- 
y'know, I used to regard myself as a power-user of the 2k...) 128 or 256 blocks. if 
there's an empty sample location, try setting it up to record into and see 
how big you can make it.
sounds like you got a good deal though.
