If an external controller (ECS [sold separately]) is connected to the ECS jack, you can select programs
from the ECS. The Prophecy allows you to assign various control functions to the ECS.
* These settings are made in Edit mode Global section, page GLB-7 [ECS Function].
• Using MIDI to sel~ect programs
You can select programs by transmitting a Program Change message from an external MIDI device to
the Prophecy (see
page 36).

Portamento is an effect that produces a smooth change in pitch between two notes that you play. This
effect will be active
when the PORTAMENTO key has been pressed to turn portamento ON (the LED is
lit). Pressing the key will alternately switch the effect
on/ off.

•OCTAVE UP/DO'WN
These buttons shift the pitch of the keyboard in 1-octave steps. Press the OCTAVE UP or OCTAVE

of the following settings.
LA T (latched) (factory setting)
When you press the UP key or the DOWN key, the LED will light and the keyboard pitch will be
shifted 1 octave. When the UP key LED is lit, pressing the UP key once again will make the UP key
LED begin blinking,
and the pitch will rise to 2 octaves above the initial pitch range.
Conversely, when the UP key LED is lit or blinking, pressing the UP key will alternate between 2
octaves
up and 1 octave up. When the UP key LED is lit, pressing the DOWN key will return the
keyboard to the initial pitch range. When the
UP key LED is blinking, pressing the DOWN key will
return the keyboard to 1 octave above its normal range. The same applies
in the downward direction.
