Sequential circuits samplers

Hello All,

I have been restoring a perfectly working P2000 and am just loving what this synth has to offer.  I was wondering how I can restore the presets and parameters back to the factory settings.

Is the disk option the only way?

If so, does anyone have a disk with these presets & parameters?

Much appreciated.

The presets are in the OS ROM, and they load every time you turn it 
on. Different versions of the OS have different presets, and you can 
save them on disk, so if you have an earlier OS ROM with presets you 
like, but want to use a later version, put in the earlier ROM, save 
the presets, and the put in the later ROM. Then you can load the 
earlier presets and use them.
Any sounds you create or parameter changes you make will be forgotten 
when you turn the machine off, so you need to save those on disk.

i have version  1987 - 2002   v.4.0 of the rom ,
 16 voices sound from turn on , without disk in drive.

can you transfer banks and make the non working voice banks  work
by copying individually program/patch / sample etc to the non working ones?
this then will check if its the rom or the ram...

i think you have to check leads on main board , clean contacts , and do some
general  regular maintance then maybe will work correctlly..


i think the manaul says that only version three and higher support internal
preset voices which are loaded upon start up,, the other roms don't...

do you do much sys ex stuff?
maybe i can just send you a whole sys ex dump in midi format and this can be
sent to the p-2000
reinitiating the voices and set up...

 Plus, I have tried just accessing the internal sounds directly and only 1-8
work, 9-16 don't. So would getting a new rom probably solve this?

i don't think so the rom would hold alot more than just samples ,
you have any samples of your own to trade?

I've asked this before in here and never really got anything resembling an
actual answer....

well hopr to help  my volume was skakey when i first got mine , that
affected output , along with loose midi ports which made recieving and
transmitting notes a real rough edge..
eventually i brought back to life  after remounting the disk drive and
soldering alot of the circuit board... but  who wants to live with problems
right ? not me.. so i did it,, its done and now sequential is good to go..it
rocks , i use once in a while and i have made great many disks and couple
good songs with it...but it took acouple years , just can't bring back and
restore that classic 1985 car over nite now can we?

This is what I thought. So if the presets are permanently stored and can't be written over, then a p2000 machine which only plays maybe half of the presets must obviously have something wrong with the ROM, right?
