I have tried the other editor that you recommend, on windows XP. It appeared very promising at first, but I eventually encountered several bugs/crashes both from my computer and my prophet when using it, mostly when trying to dump samples into the prophet, as well as some other minor analog and mapping parameters control/recall bugs. As said in my previous message, I use a prophet 2002 plus with 2x256Kb memory, dont know if that makes any difference.

It will not run on a Mac Mini. That old version of Sound Designer is meant to run on Mac OS 7.1 or so. Plus there is no point to run Sound Designer with the new Prophet 2000/2002 editor and E-Synthesist's Prophet Tools. They are far more powerful and faster and reliable.

Trust me, I know. I have 7 old vintage Macs right now and the old Sound Designer for the Prophet 2000 can't touch the new tools.
If you have to have the best of both worlds you can put a Mac Mini like I did in an old Mac case. Not a cheap or easy project but it can be done. (see pic) There is a Mac Mini in that Mac Classic II. You can see on the screen that I am running EMXP under Windows 7 under Boot Camp.

I have a Propet 2002 Plus unit in my studio, I very much love its sonic signature but it is quite a pain to program sounds with it... So I was wondering if anyone here has the old Digidesign Sound Designer Software? I am not sure of which software version would be compatible with my unit so anything is welcome and I will try it out.
Also, I will very soon switch to a mac mini computer for MAO. I am not very familiar with apple computers yet, does anyone know of a good way to run this out-of-date software on the most recent versions of Mac OS?
Cheers in advance,
Pierre.
