So I decided to get my old Sequential Circuits Prophet 2002 rackmount sampler out to see if it would even read some of the old floppy disks with samples. It read a few of them, so I made a test file to illustrate how crummy sounding the first gen samplers were. If this thing worked perfectly and read all the disks without any errors, I still wouldn't use it, even though I paid close to a grand for it in the early 80s. All the samples are heavily compressed sounding, and they have some patches where they split the keyboard with a slap bass on the left and organ or guitar on the top, dup the samples and make it 5ths, or put stupid filter wahs on things like acoustic guitar. The last two sounds in this recording are ones me and a friend did at a 24 track studio with a tenor sax and a Yamaha grand. The piano sample disk was riddled with errors and only the top section worked. Anyway, here's what a thousand dollar 12-bit 15 pound piece of hardware from the 80s sounds like! <g> http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=403575&songID=9955710 -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ __ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / /_ ____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_.___/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms

Hehe, I used to live at the music store, playing around with all the keyboards and synths for hours on end. One that I always liked screwing around with was the "Orchestron", which had clear plastic records that you inserted into the keyboard to load a sound. They had a series of dots that were the sampled sounds. Here's a flute disk. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FMBJEkaC8Lw/RuQlHBUR0dI/AAAAAAAAIL0/tRJZBlFTzQI/s400/75a0_1.JPG And the keyboard it goes in. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FMBJEkaC8Lw/RzNiU54kryI/AAAAAAAAKsQ/LFo9HbSbem0/s400/vako orchestron.jpg >> So I decided to get my old Sequential Circuits Prophet 2002 >> rackmount sampler out to see if it would even read some of the >> old floppy disks with samples.

Back in 1989 when I got this one, it was a hot instrument. I also had the keyboard version, which was the Prophet 2000. There's a short clip of me, Joey Who??? (guitar), Tar Nation (bass), and DJ playing my old P2000 in the floor. It was a keg party at my place. I used to pull all the shelves out of my refrigerator, buy a keg to stick in there, and then invite all my friends over, half or more who were musicians. It always turned into jam night with video. None of us had ever played this song live or together, and I was surprised at how close we hit this section, so I made a clip of it. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=5672&content=videos&vidID=30493 -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ __ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / /_ ____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_.___/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms
