125 Prophet X User’s Guide Global Settings
16-voice mode, the base channel controls voices 1-8 and the other chan-
nel controls voices 9-16, Notes, program changes, and other MIDI data
received on the specified channels provide independent control of the
two parts.
Note that a program change needs to be sent to each of the two chan-
nels when setting up Multi Mode. Only Layer A of the selected program
is loaded. There are no stacks or splits in Multi Mode. Use CCs or
Layer A NRPNs for automation of parameters. Program Layer B data is
completely ignored in Multi Mode
13 . Local Control: Off, On. Key/Wheels Off—
When on (the default),
the keyboard and front panel controls directly affect the Prophet X.
When off, the controls are transmitted via MIDI but do not directly
affect the “local” synth (that is, the Prophet X). When
key
/
wheels off
is selected the front controls are enabled (so that you can edit them) but
the keyboard and pitch/mod wheels are off. This is primarily useful for
avoiding MIDI data loops that can occur with some external sequencers.
14 . Velocity Curve: Curve 1... Curve 8—
Sets one of the eight velocity
curves for the keyboard to adjust the velocity response to your playing style.
15 . Pressure Curve:
Curve 1, Curve 2, Curve 3, Curve 4—
Sets one of four
pressure curves for the keyboard to adjust the aftertouch to your playing style.
16 . B Outputs: On, Off—
Setting this parameter to
on
sends the audio
output of Layer B of stacked or split sounds to the
b
output
jacks on
the rear panel. This is useful if you want to amplify, mix, or externally
process Layer B separately from Layer A.
17 . Mono/Stereo: Stereo, Mono—
The Prophet X defaults to stereo
operation. When set to Mono, this parameter defeats all pan settings and
modulation, effectively making each of the outputs a mono output.
18 . Pot Mode: Relative, Passthru, Jump—
The rotary controls on the
Prophet X’s front panel are a mixture of “endless” rotary encoders and
potentiometers or “pots.” The pots are identifiable by their lined knobs
and the fact that they have about 300° of travel. There are three pot
modes to determine how the synth reacts when the programmable param-
eters are edited. (Master volume is not programmable, so these modes
don’t apply.)
