Filter
The Filter takes the basic, raw sound of the oscillators and noise genera-
tor and subtracts frequencies, changing the harmonic content and char-
acter of their sound. This change can be varied over time using the Filter
Envelope to produce more dynamic, animated timbres.

High levels of resonance can sometimes cause the Prophet Rev2 outputs to
clip. Monitor your outputs carefully to ensure optimal, clean signal levels. If you experi-
ence signal clipping, try reducing the levels of the resonanceSDUDPHWHULQWKH¿OWHU

frequency. This control is bipolar. Positive settings produce standard
behavior. Negative settings invert the envelope.
