hello people At last i find users of SCI samplers to hopefully share stuff with... I met the P2002 a few months ago (heard about it but never quite heard it before) as one half-working unit was given to a friend. Man, that was a dive.The sound of that one was awesome, though sporadically cut by PSU dysfunction's loud clicks.Diskett drive was dead,also.I managed to find one disk drive and got it installed by a tech guy here in Paris.I learnt then that one had to invert the order of a few cable in the "nappe" connecting the drive , allowing thus to use "easy to find disk drives".I should get more details about that soon... Unfortunately, having had repaired the thing, i got my lucky friend involved in the Prophet and unwilling to let go of it, even for SOME money. So i found another one for myself, fast and for about 180 euros which was reasonable.That one doesn't have any problem, it is i that has a problem with it: i still don't get most of the feats of programming that beast.Still could not get the relationship of the analog controls of Sound, Map and Preset. Clear on the paper but can't understand what goes on when i'm at it. Sometimes the best moments with a machine is when you don't really know what you're doing , but that is discovering..I have had the 2002 for a few months now....Have access to what i believe is the complete manual for the 2000 in english that i can in most cases understand, it has those midi sysex specs too, in case one is really courageous enough to get a midi controller programmed.(by the way does someone.... ) This morning i decided i would get my old 486 PC laptop run that AWAVE studio app that is knomn to support SAMPLE transfer as SDS. The only way i could get it to receive samples is by checking "automatically request next sample", meaning i had to upload all smples to the PC. The Demo doesn't feat the send to sampler function. I find 110 dollars a bit much for the sole purpose of sample transfer for my P2000. All i really want to do is get my own short looped waveforms down to the sampler,as i plan to use it mainly as a classic hybrid synth as it can sound as DEEP and powerful as the PPG wave 2.3 when you get down to it. Of course i made some drum kits ,sampling the Drumatix , rndom sounds and such, but as far as looping goes ,i find it difficult to get it to smooth those clicks.I am aware that it may be difficult to find an APP to handle the loop feats of the 2000, but if any of you heard of or ... maybe, only MAYBE could share one or even....PROGRAM ONE (dream on, boy) well... Aw right, let's shutup tiego, Paris
