Prophet 2000
Appearance
The Prophet 2000 was a sampler synth created by Sequential Circuits, that contained analog VCF's and VCA's with digital preset tones. Introduced in 1985, it contained by today's standards, a puny 256k to 512k. Most of the sounds generated or music recorded had to be stored onto a floppy drive that could be inserted and loaded at anytime. It was MIDI enabled, went up to 8 polyphony, had a total of 8 layers, and a arpeggiator. Its sound output is also puny by today's standards with only a 12-bit lo-fi sound output. Despite all these limitations, the Prophet 2000 was capable of making some bizarre lo-fi sounds with its analog VCF's and VCA's.
