The Audity 2000 takes its name from the classic and one-and-only Audity, but that's about it.

I used to have Audity 2000, but its incompatibility with other synthesizers in the Proteus 2000 line and the inability to work with the prodatum editor really upset me. I sold the Audity 2000, but then really missed its sounds. But then I found out that ROM X-Lead contains a full set of samples...
