Program and Bank controls
Selecting Programs
Use the
bank
and
program
knobs to select and recall programs.
To choose a program:
1. Turn the
bank
knob to select the bank you want.
2. Turn the
program
knob to select a program within that bank.
Editing Programs
Because the majority of the sound-shaping controls of the Prophet Rev2
appear on its front panel, editing an existing program is simple: just turn a
knob and listen to its effect. Keep turning knobs and pressing buttons. If you
like what you’ve created, save the program. (See “Saving a Program” on
page 4.)
The rotary controls on the front panel are a mixture of “endless” rotary encoders
(which have no position indicator) and potentiometers or “pots,” which have a position
indicator and a finite travel range from left to right. You can choose between three
different modes that determine how the synth reacts when you edit its parameters with
a pot. For details, see “Pot Mode” on page 16.
Comparing an Edited Program to its Original State
When editing a program, it is often useful to compare its edited state
to its original state to evaluate your edits. Alternatively, before saving
a program to a new location you may want to check the program in the
target location before you overwrite it.
To compare an edited program to a saved version:
1. Edit a program.
2. Press the
compare
button. It lights up, indicating compare mode.
3. Play the keyboard to hear the saved version of the sound.
4. To disable the compare function and return to the edited sound, press
the
compare
button again to turn it off. Programs can’t be written while
in compare mode.
It’s also useful to be able to check the value of a parameter for reference.
Normally, to make a parameter value appear in the display, you have to
turn the parameter’s knob — which will change the parameter value. But
there is a way to do this without changing the value:
To check the value of a parameter without changing it:
1. Press and hold the
misc parameter
button.
2. Turn any parameter knob. The value appears in the display.
3. To check additional parameter values, continue holding d
own the
misc parameter
button and turn other knobs to check their value.
Creating a Program from Scratch
An existing program can be very useful as a jumping off point for new
sounds. But it’s also useful (and educational) to create a new sound from
scratch. The Prophet Rev2 makes this easy by providing a “basic preset”
that you can quickly recall at any time. This preset is very simple, with a
single oscillator as its basis.
To recall the basic preset:
• In the
transpose
section, press and hold the
down
and
up
buttons simul-
taneously, then press the
hold
button.
