Quick Start
Thanks for purchasing your Tetra synthesizer! Listen to the sounds, twiddle
some knobs, have some fun!
Please Register!
Please go to www.davesmithinstruments.com and register your synth. If you
purchased directly from us, there is no need to register — we already have your
contact information.
Powering Up
So, plug in the power supply, connect (in stereo!!) to your mixer/sound system,
and start playing!
You can use the P
USH
I
T
switch to trigger sounds without a keyboard. If you’re
using a MIDI keyboard, try applying keyboard pressure (aftertouch) and the
mod wheel. Many sounds are fairly simple at first, then come alive when you
use the controllers. With other sounds, you may need to hold the notes a while to
let the sound unfold. Playing in different ways has a big effect on the programs.
Selecting and Editing Programs, Combos, and Global Settings
Use S
ELECT
or the increment and decrement (+ and -) switches to step through
the programs. Hold the switches down briefly to increment or decrement the
bank. There are 4 banks of 128 programs. Banks 1 and 2 are the Prophet ’08
factory programs.
If you want to edit a program, just turn any knob. The new value will be
displayed in the bottom line of the LCD (the top line displays the programmed
value for handy reference).
After turning knobs, just press the Mode (P
ROGRAM
/C
OMBO
/G
LOBAL
) switch to
exit Edit Mode and return to Program Mode, allowing you to change programs
again.
While in Program Mode, press the Mode switch again to change to Combo
Mode. Combos contain a combination of four different programs—one per
voice—that can be used to play polyphonically or in unison, or to play four
different sequences simultaneously.
Press and hold the Mode switch briefly to display the Global menu and change
higher level parameters such as MIDI channel number, Transpose/Detune, and
so on. The S
ELECT
knob changes the displayed page and increment and
decrement change the values. These settings are remembered when the synth is
turned off.
