Key Modes and Unison Mode
Key Mode (sometimes called note priority) determines what note has
priority when more than one note is played on the keyboard or via MIDI.
This is particularly important when using Unison Mode:
• Low-Note Priority is most common in vintage synths and is often used
for playing trills by holding a note and repeatedly tapping a lower note.
• Low Retrigger causes the envelopes to be retriggered with each
keystroke.
• High Note and High Retrigger are similar to the low note settings,
except that the highest note is given priority.
• Last Note and Last Retrigger give priority to the last note played.
To choose the Key Mode:
1. Press the
misc
params
button and use the
parameter
knob to scroll to
the desired mode.
2. Play a few notes to listen to the result.
Key Assign settings are only relevant to Unison mode. They do not affect poly-
phonic playback.
Master Volume/Program Volume
The master output level of the Prophet Rev2 is controlled by the front-
panel
master
volume
knob. In addition, the volume of an individual
program can be set with the
misc
params
controls. This is useful for
ensuring that your sounds have roughly the same volume from program
to program. Unison sounds in particular can be very loud compared to
other programs.
