Re: [prophet2000] Strange Prophet 2000

2008-03-25 by Pat Swayne

I'm sure others on this list can explain it 
better, but the P2K is not a stereo device. You 
should use a mono hookup to your amp, and set the 
"balance" control to 11 o'clock. If I had my P2K 
book in front of me, I could explain it better, but I'm at work.
You may need to upgrade the OS (ROM) in your P2K. 
The older ones may not play the samples correctly.
If you want to make your own samples, you need a 
high impedance mike. Most are low impedance these days.
Remember, the P2K is 1980's technology. But it's 
combination of analog and digital make it a wonderful machine today.
