Setting the MIDI channel
Use the buon5“MIDIGlobalCh”(p.59) and “MIDISubCCCh”(p.59) in the
GLOBALEDITmodetosettheprologue’sMIDIchannel.

WhensynchronizingtoanexternalMIDIdevice,refertothatdevice’s
Owner’s manual.
Conguring the MIDI “LOCAL” setting when connected to an external MIDI
sequencer or computer
TheEchoBackseingofyourexternalMIDIsequencerorcomputersystemallows
theMIDInotesandothermessagesbeingplayedbytheprologuetobeinstantly
passedalongtoanyotherMIDIequipment,includingsynthesizers,tonegenerators.
However,thissameEchoBackfunctioncancausetheprologuetodoubletrigger:
oncewhenyouplaythenote,andasecondtimeastheexternalMIDIsequencerof
computer system sends the note back to the prologue.
Topreventthisfromhappening,youcansimplydisabletheLOCALconnectionbe-
tween the prologue keyboard and the tone generating circuitry.

Synchronizing the arpeggiator playback
Usethe“ClockSource”(p.59) seingonbuon5inGLOBALEDITmodetoset
whether the prologue will be the master (the device controlling the synchronization)
or the slave (the device being controlled) when the arpeggiator is played.

Using the prologue as the master to slave external MIDI devices
ConnecttheMIDIOUTconnectoroftheprologuetotheMIDIINconnectoronyour
externalMIDIdevice(s).
IntheGLOBALEDITmode,settheClockSourceoftheprologueto“Internal”,and
conguretheexternalMIDIdevicetoreceiveclockdataviaMIDI.Theprologuewill
act as the master, and the tempo that is set using the TEMPO buon on the prologue
