Sequential circuits samplers

Hi there!

Bought a Prophet2000, v.3.0 1986 and sold it some years later to a 
friend. Just get it again (free) from my friend - awesome! The 
diskdrive is broken but I think that can be fixed after reading of 
that here in the archives.

Have some questions (I don't have the owners manual):

1. The voices pingpong L - R - L -R.... except when using dubble 
voices in LA and ME mode. Are there an easy way to get 8 voices in L 
and R output at the same time?

2. Can two different sounds be paned so one is L and one R for 
simulated stereo? How?

3. Is there any interests of exchanging sounddisks or build a 
sounddisk bank for exchange here? In that case - an easy way to send 
P2000 sounddisks is for instance using the PC program Disk Image.


Best regards!

I  think we need an FAQ!
Any volunteers?

<<... but I still wonder>>

have a quick look at the guide in the files section. 

you can, on a preset-by-preset basis, change the way the voices are allocated 
within the sampler. more scientifically, the sampler d>a is directed in turn 
at the 8 analogue "synth" channels (these things are like p600's without the 
oscillators) in the same way as a polysynth uses it's voices... only better. 

so you can build a preset in each "half" of the machine and ringfence 4 
voices each for them; a very basic multitimbral function. 

or (as you are hearing) the voices can be allocated on a seemingly random 
basis that sometimes ends up being L-R-L-R because you're playing a certain way 
(non-legato). 

the thinking is that if you are only using one instrument (i.e. not 
multitimbral) you'll probably be hooked up in mono and not get the dancing outputs. 
four voices each are hardwired to the stereo left and right outputs, unless a) 
there's a mono plug in the right output or b) I've remembered all this wrong.

(gets book out)
it's in "dynamic allocation". on or off. saved w/ the preset.
(v3 and above, there's a "fixed output" option. this is intended for use in 
conjunction with the "plus" 8-output card which is a bunch of op-amps and jack 
sockets you could weld in, and locked the voices one per socket. useful for 
drums or.... something.)

if it's off, you get the left map through the left voices and 4-voice 
polyphony (& the right...). so if you're only playing one map (i.e. not multitimbral, 
split or merging two maps) you should switch it on and hook-up in mono or at 
least pan the two outputs together a bit on y'r mixer; this can be quite good 
with a bit of reverb. 

dynamic allocation steals from the first note played when you get to 8 notes 
(or less if there's a stack on). 
(5-17 in the full manual).

Thank you, very helpful!
