Description	The Prophet-3000 rack mount sampler was Sequential’s final product and the most sophisticated sampler of its time. Its sampler specs are 16 Bit with variable sample rates up to 48 KHz at 21 seconds. 2 MB internal memory expandable to 8, auto editing features for quick sample looping and trimming, and very warm analog filters. It also has a detachable face-plate with a great LCD display for more comfortable access and editing. It featured external SCSI hard drive support, optional memory expansion, dynamic voice allocation with 8 individual outputs, and a master stereo output. The last OS version of the P3000 was 3.0B. If you gotta have a classic vintage sampler that's fast and easy to use then the Prophet 3000 is a tempting offer, if you can find one, because unfortunately just as it was produced Sequential went under so there are not too many of these things floating around.

Velocity	As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key.	Aftertouch	Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel.
