A
rackmount 8-voice
polyphonic sampler.
Released in
1987, the P3000 features quite
sophisticated technology for its age. It is a 16-bit sampler with
variable sampling rate up to 48KHz. There's 2MB of
internal memory, which is
expandable to 8MB.
Audio editing features include
quick sample looping and
trimming. A
resonant low-pass
VCF provides warm
filter effects to the sampled
sounds.
MIDI support is included for
external control, and there's also an
SCSI interface for sample
storage. A
detachable face-
plate with a large
LCD display allows
comfortable access and
editing.
Unfortunately the Prophet 3000 was released just as its
manufacturer Sequential went
out of business. Not many
units were produced, so the P3000 is hard to find
nowadays.
