and
can
be
switched
on/
off

The
Prophecy
provides
not
only
equal
tem-
perament,
but
also
a
variety
of
unconven-
tional
tunings
such
as
Pythagorean
and
Werckmeister,
and
scales
used
in
Arabian
and
Indonesian
music. These can be specified for each
program, allowing you to cover a
wide
range of musical
genres. You
are
also free to create
and
use
your
own
original scales.

In
the
MOSS
(Multi
Oscillator
Syntnesis
System)
tone
generator
of
the
Prophecy,
the
basic
sound
created
by
the
two
sets
of oscillator,
sub
oscillator,
and
noise
generator
is
passed
through
the Wave Shape, Mixer, Filter,
Amp,
and
Effect
blocks
to
shape
the
sound.
In
each
of
these
blocks,
general
purposes
EGs
and
LFOs
can
be
used
as
modulation
sources. While the
Prophecy
is a
cutting-
Multi
Oscillator Synthesis
System
edge
digital synthesizer
that
uses the very latest
in
DSP
technology, it also provides the possibilities for detailed
manipulation
that
were
characteristic
of
analog
synthesizers,
letting
you
turn
your
imagination
into
sound.

The Oscillator block provides
seven
types of
oscillators,
such
as
Analog,
VPM,
and
Physical Modeling,
and
also contains a Sub
Oscillator
and
Noise Generator. The
Wave
Shape block
can
be set to either Clip
or
Resonant
wave
shaping,
and
determines
how
the
waveform
is
shaped
and
the
balance
at
which
it
is mixed
with
the original
waveform.
The Mixer Block
determines
the
levels
at
which
the
two
systems
of Oscillator,
Sub
Oscillator,
Noise
Generator,
and
Feedback
are
sent
to
the
Filter
block. The Filter block
provides
two multi-mode filters
(switchable
between
LPF
/HPF
/BPF /BRF),
and
can
be
placed
in
either series
or
parallel to control the
output.
The
Amp
block lets
you
independently control the level
of each
output
signal. The Effect block
provides
seven
types
of
effect;
Distortion,
Wah,
Chorus/Flanger+
Delay,
Reverb,
and
Dual
Parametric
EQ. (You
may
select either
Chorus/Flanger+Delay
or
Reverb.)
