Importing Programs and Banks
You can use a MIDI librarian application such as such as SysEx Librar-
ian for Macintosh, or MIDIOX for Windows to transmit exported
program or banks back into your Prophet Rev2. You will need a
computer and an appropriate software application.
The Prophet Rev2 is compatible with Prophet ’08 sounds, so you can
import any Prophet ’08’ programs and they will sound just as good, if not
better!
To import a program or bank as a SysEx file over MIDI:
1. Connect your synthesizer to a computer using a USB cable (or MIDI
cable, if you are using a dedicated MIDI interface).
2. Press the
global
button on your Rev2.
3. Use the
parameter
knob to select
midi sysex cable
, then use the
value
knob to choose either
usb
or
midi
, depending on which port you are
using to connect to your computer.
4. Open your MIDI librarian software and configure it to send SysEx
messages to your synthesizer.
5. In the MIDI librarian, open the programs and/or banks you want to send.
6. Transmit the programs. The Prophet Rev2 should load them. They will
replace any existing programs in those memory locations on the synth.
Programs will load back into the same bank and program locations from which
they were originally exported.
Calibrating the Prophet Rev2
Because the Prophet Rev2 is calibrated at the factory, controls such as
the Pitch and Mod wheels shouldn’t require re-calibration. However, if
for some reason you experience unexpected behavior with these controls,
you can use the built-in calibration function to tune them occasionally.

1. Press the
global
button.
2. Use the
parameter
knob to select

3. The synthesizer performs its auto-calibration procedure. Don’t turn off
the power while it’s doing this.
4. When finished, the front panel controls will return to normal and you
can play the Prophet Rev2 again.
Calibrating the Pitch and Mod Wheels
To calibrate the Pitch and Mod wheels:
1. Press the
global
button.
2. Use the
parameter

calibrate wheels
, then follow the
