Re: What's special in the Prophet 2000

2008-05-18 by TonyB

Ok P2000 fans, I got my P2000 opened.  Surprisingly easy to service
with the built-in hinge in the back!!  OK, I have a Q for any of you
that have a fully functional P2000:  With no diskette, after booting
up, are all keys working??  That is, i select built-in sample #4,
which is a great, IMHO, hammond sample, does every key play a note?
What about the L/R knob??  For sample #4, is the sound ONLY on the
Left? PLMK, so I can continue troubleshooting my P2000.  thanx. T
