Hi Prophet 2000 Lovers!

Couldn't find so much about Prophet 2000 on Internet (some nice sites 
where there, for intsance FTG Prophet 2000 - great site!). So I put 
up one at my website http://www.soundofmusic.se > Synth & Such. 
Welcome!

I bought the Prophet 2000 when it was new, sold it and for a week ago 
get it back (for free - unfortunately without the manual) after 
almost 15 years. It was much better than I remembered it - I have 
lived night and day with it now for this week and love it - especial 
the filters and VCAs, it's really nice. The way to work with it was 
immediately remembered = very good interface on Prophet 2000.

I also made an inventory and tweaked the presets of my old diskettes 
from the 80s. And they sounds really nice now. If someone is 
interested of these I sell them at cost price (more info at the 
webpage).

Hope you'll enjoy this site. I'm also glad for your response.

Best Regards!

If you like FTG Prophet 2000 so much, it's extremely bad manners to
plagarise it. You quite obviously copied the compatible floppy list because
it's carried over the mis-spelling of Canon, and the Sound Of Sound article
still has the credit that Andrew originally gave me when I transcribed it
for him. I don't remember you asking me if it would be alright for you to
use it too.

That sounds not good. I'm sorry to hear that - and excuse me if I 
tread on your toes. My purpose with the P2K page is not competition, 
I'm not that kind of person (but I can be if someone is stupid and 
challenge me). Therefore I also said that FTG is a great P2K site. I 
could omit that (SO good is it not, I just encurage you a little 
bit)...

The main part of all info at my P2K page (as well as almost the main 
part at everything at my site or my lectures and masterclasses) is my 
own research. But information is not patent, at least not when it's 
public and/or common. I have self tried more than one of the floppy 
dives at that list (and now even more) and can now testify about that 
as well as someone else. And I can write about my experiences. But 
anyway, I don't want to make you, or anybody else mad, so I apologize.

I don't think persons outside Sound On Sound shall have credits for 
what Sound On Sound publish. In that case I "transribed" the floppy 
drive list when I copied what you wrote... I have given credits to 
the author, thats Sound On Sound. But again, I'm sorry if I made you 
mad and beg to be excused. I'm sorry to hear about competition from 
you in this thing, very sorry.


But perhaps somebody else will be helped and/or encourage of what I 
write, and will not se it mean or selfish but as an helping hand.

Best regards!

You're missing the point. It's got nothing to do with ownership, it's to do
with basic politeness and the ethics of ripping off the work that someone
else has done to try and make information accessible and then to try and
pass it on as the result of your effort, on a commercial site of all things.
The correct way of 'transcribing' (the phrase you're looking for is copying
and pasting by the way, transcribing is taking a printed document and
converting into to text, which is what I did) would have been to link to the
original source of the information you didn't collect yourself.

Incidentally, I am not the owner of the site, I just helped out with the SOS
article.

I don't wanna fuss here in this forum, but you wrote against my info 
public (I prefere personal things private via e-mail or between 4 
eyes when possible).

>.. as the result of your effort, on a commercial site of all things.

My site is not a commercial, it's just hobby, my way of "coolecting 
stamps" and nonprofit. The diskettes (and the CD) are the first 
things I ever sell since I started the site for soon 3 years ago. And 
thats more as an service, I don't make any money there. I have never 
done a penny from my site - until this day (and the diskettes don't 
run at a profit).

I'm surprised!!!

But I hope we can be friends!

Toby,

Your site is cool.

However, it would have been polite to credit where you have "borrowed" the information from (my site).
The content is not copyright and is there for all to share, but it's simply in the spirit of the open sharing
nature of the internet to credit your sources. You're clearly not that new to the internet so I was surprised you hadn't
and instead simply linked to my site (which is in need of an update).

Otherwise, nice work.

Andrew

The link to FTG is there again, after the air is cleared. And you are 
welcome to link my page if u want.


I hope the audience here had enjoy the thrilling machination - just 
like a real soap opera (including small advertising when opening the 
messages). Don't miss next thrilling episode of "The Prophet2000". 
Right now we're looking for actors and walkers-on to next season 
of "Prophet2000"- send a description and a photo of yourself and a 
handdrawn picture (2x2" - with the modulation wheel visible) of your 
Prophet2000 to info@... with the subject "I want to be a 
star, and I want my credits now". Maybe You will be the happy one. We 
love you!! God bless America!!!...  ;-)


I'm sorry, my imagination runs riot...



Best Regards!

I definately like the site you put up.  It's very handy to have a 
fresh site with a collection of all that information somewhere.  I 
would have done the same thing myself had I the time.  The other 
sites are nice but seem incomplete to me.  Now all that is needed is 
a scan of the manual!

To the others with their sites, take it easy.  Yeah, he should credit 
whomever he got the information from, but there's no reason to be 
snippy about it.  No one is going to get famous, make money, or win 
awards with a site on the Prophet 2000.  This is an aging but 
beautiful machine with little support save for what you can buy from 
Wine Country, and I doubt many of us can afford to pay for the 
equivalent in support that a healthy user community can provide (like 
this, or the Mirage, the Poly 800, the Roland D-50, etc., etc., ad 
infinitum).
