Prophet-6 Operation Manual
Poly Mod
PW 1+2:
When Oscillator 1 and/or 2 is set to square wave, this modu-
lates the pulse width of the wave. Use a triangle wave LFO to create a
chorus-like effect often used to emulate strings.
Amp:
Selects the amplitude level as a modulation destination. Use a
triangle wave LFO to create a tremolo effect.
LP Filter:
Selects the Low-Pass Filter frequency as a modulation destina-
tion. Use a triangle wave LFO to create an auto-wah effect. Modulating
the Low-Pass Filter at high frequencies can create interesting timbres.
HP Filter:
Selects the High-Pass Filter frequency as a modulation desti-
nation. Modulating the High-Pass Filter at high frequencies can create
interesting timbres.
Poly Mod
Although the overall sonic character of the Prophet-6 is determined by its
analog oscillators and filters, much of its power to make truly unique and
unusual sounds comes from the Poly Mod section.
