Sequential circuits samplers

.BIN implies a raw, unadorned stream of byte values; no 
headers, checksums or other formatting. The fact that it is 
32768 bytes long means it fits exactly into a 
15-bit-wide/256kbit EPROM chip (via an EPROM programmer).

For more information about EPROMs, see 
http://www.qsl.net/yo5ofh/doc/how_eprom_works.htm

Putting it in a .zip file means that you can test the 
integrity of the file (since the .zip format contains a 
checksum) to make sure there aren't any errors.

Note that I haven't tested this data (i.e. burned it back 
into a chip and tried it in my Prophet 2002+) so I can't 
make any promises that it'll work.

If anyone is brave enough to try this firmware in their 
2002, can they please let us know how it goes... ;)

Cheers,

John :^P
