Arturia Prophet V - Prophet VS Modules

ARTURIA – PROPHET V - MANUAL

Notice! The detuning knob for polyphonic voices is very useful for detuning the notes in “Unison” mode. This spreads
the effect of the sound (a bit like the chorus does). When “UNISON” mode is inactive, this parameter gives a bit of
instability to tuning of the oscillators (an instability that was typical in older hardware synths).
5.1.11 The Wheels
The wheels found on the side of the virtual keyboard, give you control of the frequency of the
oscillators (“PITCH”) or the modulation rate of the LFO (“MOD”).
PITCH : Wheel controlling the pitch of the four oscillators
MOD : Wheel controlling modulation
Wheels
Attention! None of the modulation made by the LFO will be audible if the Mod Wheel is positioned at 0 (at the
bottom). Also notice that the position of the wheel is stored in a preset.
5.2 PROPHET VS
The Prophet VS brings you a unique sound that has the strength to stand on its own, but at the
same time is complementary to that of the Prophet 5.
The Prophet VS uses vector or wave table synthesis for sound generation. This allows for a wide
variety of varied timbres to be produced, due to the 96 user selectable wave forms that can be
chosen as an oscillator. The mixing mode for the oscillators is also quite unique in that it moves
between four points representing the maximal gain of the four oscillators present in the
synthesizer.
