Sequential circuits samplers

Just picked up a Prophet 2000 and have a few questions.  Do they all 
run hot?  This thing is as hot as an ensoniq!  Also, all the sounds 
seem to be on a continuous panning, 4 notes left output then 3 or 4 
notes right output.  Sounds kind of cool, but I don't want it on all 
my sounds.  I can't see any parameters in the matrix to make this 
happen.  Do I have a problem?
Thanks

yeah, there is a warning about touching the back of the unit and getting 
burned!!

both my 2000 and 2002 run hot; the voltage regulators are bolted to the back 
panel. the regs run slightly hotter than they ought when the local voltage is 
240 because the nearest setting is 220 and this makes the secondary voltage 
higher in the power supply. the regs have to throw the extra energy away. I'm 
guessing you're in the uk... otherwise, maybe they all ran hot anyway. sounds 
like it's working, and SCI stuff generally has a reputation for running hot. 
(my p600 also gets hot and I've seen scorch marks under failed regs in 
pro-1's)

no. it'll do this until you change the way the voices are allocated ("dynamic 
allocation" on the matrix, I think, without looking). there are some user 
instructions in the files section. good luck! it's a wonderful sounding 
sampler; though we've been spoiled by bigger memories and digital effects, 
the 2000's somehow feel more like instruments.
