And I'm assuming that they are proprietary to the SCP2000 and can't be read/
loaded by another app like Kontakt?
(prolly not if you couldn't get them into your VSampler...bummer)

Too bad. Bet you took a bit of time to lay those vocals down. And it would
take a good days work to play them manually, resample, and trim/edit each
one :(

If you still have the Prophet 2000 and the disk with your samples you don't
have to :)

I'm confused (not the first time)
Why would you need midi cables? Can't you just load up the sample and play
each note with your fingers and just record the output into Reaper/Sonar?
The Prophet 2000's I've seen have keyboards!
Or am I missin somephin here why you would need midi at all.
Just record you playing your samples live.

Duh ! ! ! !
I read your post a hunderd times and missed that! My mind kept seeing 2000.

Now I know egzaktly what you mean.
Although if the samples were something I'd use more than once, I might make
it a rainy day/beer drinking project!
