There are four modes that determine how glide behaves.
Fixed Rate:
The time to transition between notes varies with the interval
between the notes; the greater the interval, the longer the transition time.
The glide rate is fixed. This is the default glide mode.
Fixed Rate A:
The same as Fixed Rate, but glide is only applied when
playing legato. That is, glide only occurs when a note is held until the
next note is played. This effectively allows glide to be turned on and off
from the keyboard.
Fixed Time:
Glide is set to a fixed time, regardless of the interval
between notes.
Fixed Time A:
The same as Fixed Time, but glide only occurs when
playing legato.
To select a glide mode:

Pitch and Mod Wheels
The Prophet Rev2 has a spring-loaded Pitch wheel and a Mod wheel.
You can use these controls to enhance live performance by bending notes
and adding modulation in real time as you play.
In the same way that guitar players use note bends and vibrato to give
their playing expressiveness and character, these two controls can help
you define your sound as a performer and take you beyond just playing
notes on the keyboard.

Pitch Wheel
You can set a range in semitones for the pitch wheel, depending on your
playing preference. The range is up to 12 semitones (1 octave). Many
musicians use a range of 2 semitones (a whole step) since this is the bend
range of many acoustic instruments. For guitar whammy bar effects, you
many wish to set a wider range.
To set the pitch bend range:
1. Press the
misc params
button and use the
parameter
knob to scroll to

2. Turn the
value
knob to set the range in semitones.
3. Hold a note and move the pitch wheel wheel to hear the effect.
