27 Prophet X User’s Guide Oscillators
Wave Reset: Off, On—
(In the
osc
1
shape
tab in the display)
When
Wave Reset is off, the Prophet X oscillators are free running. That is, the
oscillators are running whether a note is being gated on or not. When
the amplifier envelope is set for a fast attack, this can cause a soft, but
detectable, pop or click at the beginning of a note because the note might
be gated on at a point in the wave’s cycle other than a zero crossing. The
first cycle to play might be truncated. For some sounds, like monophonic
basses, this may actually be desirable. It adds a bit of randomness to the
attack that can make it sound more organic. When
wave reset
is on, the
wave is always reset to zero—the start of its cycle—when a note is triggered.
