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.
