Stacked Programs
Stacking two programs allows you to create extra fat sounds, since you
can have two completely different programs layered on top of each other.
Polyphony is halved in Stack mode, so if you have a 16-voice Prophet
Rev2, in Stack mode, it functions as an 8-voice because it uses two
voices for each key played.
To turn Stack mode on:
• If it’s not currently lit, press the
stack a
+
b
button. The button becomes
lit. The program on Layer B is stacked with the program on Layer A.
Polyphony is halved since two voices are used per note.
To turn Stack off:
• If it’s currently lit, press the
stack a
+
b
button. The button becomes
unlit. Only the program on Layer A is heard.
To edit Layer B:
1. Press the
edit layer b
button. Layer B editing is enabled.
2. Change any parameters to change the sound of Layer B.
3. Press the
edit layer b
button again to turn off Layer B editing.
To edit Layer A and B simultaneously:
1. With Stack mode on (
stack a
+
b
button is lit) press and hold the
edit
layer b
button. It begins flashing, indicating that you are in “Link”
mode.
2. Change any parameters. The parameters are changed on both Layer A
and Layer B.
3. To turn off Link mode, press the
edit layer b
button again. It stops
flashing.
Saving a program saves any edits to programs on both Layer A and Layer B.
