Sequential prophet 5 - Page 34

Pressed
by
itself,
the
TUNE
switch
works
identically
in Scale
Mode
as it does
in Patch
mode.
In
fact,
frequent
tuning
is
recommended
when
developing
Scale
Mode
programs.
The
Prophet
is
always
equal-tempered
when
power
is first
turned on.
In
general,
one
selects
a
program
in
Patch
Mode
then
selects
Scale
Mode and
adjusts
the
intonation.
The
resulting
intonation(s)
can
be
recorded
and
edited
or not.
Switching
between
Scale
programs
allows
the
Patch
Mode
program
to
be
played in
various
intonations. Whatever
intonation
is
in
effect
when
Scale
Mode is
exited
determines
the
intonation
of all
Patch
Mode
programs.
You
can
enter
Scale
Mode
while
any
of the
three
'tO-program files
are selected.
However,
due to
Scale
Mode
software
idiosyncracies,
the
numeric
display does not
indicate
the
selection
of
Program
Files
2 and 3
with
decimal
points.
Program files
can
only be
selected
in
Patch
Mode:
you
can't
switch
files in
Scale Mode.
NOTE;
The
back
panel
RECORD
ENABLE/DISABLE
switch must
be
up
(ENABLE) to
record
Scale
programs.
Also,
since each
Scale
program
you record
will erase the
Patch
program
previously
in
that
location,
you may
want
to first
SAVE existing
programs
through
the
cassette
interface.
Preparation
1. Switch
power
on (this is
always
a
good
start).
2. Allow
a
thorough
warm-up,
possibly several
hours,
depending on
environment and
the
precision
you
desire.
3. Select a
Patch Mode
program to
work with
in tuning.
The sound
should be free of
frequency
modulation
and
have
enough
harmonics
to
allow easy
pitch discrimination.
^. Check the
PITCH
wheel and set
MOD
to
minimum.
5. With
one hand,
hold the
PROGRAM
SELECT
of
the selected
Patch program
and
(with other hand) hit
TUNE.
Notice
that the
PROGRAM
SELECT
display inverts—the
selected
program
is unlit
(while
all others
are
lit).
This
indicates Scale Mode.
(If
a
Manual patch
were to
be used,
PRESET
would
be
OFF
and
any
PROGRAM SELECT
could be held
while
pressing
the TUNE
switch).
When Scale
Mode is entered
PRESET
will be
off, location
1-1
will be
displayed,
and
the
instrument will be in equal
temperament.
Recording Equal-Tempered
Scale
Program
Use of Scale Mode
best
begins
by
recording
an
equal-tempered (E-T) Scale program.
This establishes a
convenient
basis
from
which to create
other tunings or to
quickly
return the
Prophet to
standard
tuning,
before
returning
to
Patch Mode.
6. Switch RECORD on
(it lights).
7.
Select the
BANK
in
which the
E-T Scale
program
is to
be stored.
8. Press
the
PROGRAM SELECT for the
E-T Scale
program
destination.
The
E-T Scale
program is
now recorded.
(If
you
were to
return
to Patch
Mode at this
point and
select
this
program,
you would
hear a useless
program.)
