About this listing
A rare opportunity to acquire an original Sequential Prophet 3000, serial number 180.The Prophet 3000 was Sequential Circuits' groundbreaking 16-bit stereo sampler introduced in 1987. It featured stereo sampling, graphical waveform editing, automatic looping, automatic key mapping, dynamic panning, detachable remote LCD control panel and SCSI expansion capability years ahead of many competing systems.Production numbers were extremely low, generally estimated at around 250 units. The model's commercial life was cut short by Sequential's acquisition by Yamaha, making surviving examples highly collectible today.This unitSerial number: 180Includes: remote control panelIncludes: sample disksIncludes: original storage/shipping boxFeatures: Wine Country Productions labels/mediaBased on the serial number and known production history, this appears to be a later production unit rather than one of the earliest pre-acquisition examples.According to the previous owner's records, this Prophet 3000 was purchased directly from Wine Country Productions in 1989 and has remained with the same owner ever since. It is now being offered for sale as part of the owner's estate.Technical Highlights16-bit stereo samplingUp to 48 kHz sample rate8-voice architectureAutomatic sample looping and pitch detectionAutomatic keyboard mappingAnalog filtering and extensive modulationDetachable graphic LCD editing surfaceSCSI expansion capabilityEight individual outputs plus stereo outputsConditionExcellent condition; everything else has been checked and works as should be.
