Prophet X User’s Guide

Chapter 1: Getting Started

To create exactly the kind of split you want, sometimes you may need to 

swap the sounds on Layer A and B.

To swap Layer A and Layer B sounds:

1.  Press the 

edit

 

b

 

layer

 button.

2.  Press Soft Button 3 (

swap

 a< >b

). The layers are now swapped.

Exploring the Prophet X

Before you explore the sound creation possibilities of the Prophet X, 

we’d like to point you toward a few things that will help you tailor it to 

your needs. The better you know it, the more you’ll get out of it.

First, read about “Global Settings” starting on page 119. There are 

many useful settings and functions found in the Global menu that will 

affect the overall behavior of your Prophet X, including tuning, MIDI 

connections, calibration, and more. In particular, read about Pot Modes 

and determine which works best for you when you’re editing sounds. 

Also, starting on page 114, read about the various connectors on the 

back of your Prophet X and how you can use its various pedal, audio, 

MIDI, and USB inputs and outputs.

Finally, be on the lookout for tips and notes scattered throughout this 

manual to gain a better working knowledge of the Prophet X. We wish 

you many hours of musical exploration!
