REVISED
SCALE
MODE
OPERATION
This
version
of
the
Prophet-5
has
three
enhanced
Scale
Mode
operations.
The
tuning
range
in
the
Scale
Mode
for
each
note
has
been increased
to
+1,
-Vi
semitone
(approximately
+94
to
-50
cents)
from nominal equal-tempered
center.
Existing
Scale
Mode
programs
will
still
work with
no
modification.
Each note now
has
two
ranges:
Range
1 is
-50
to
about
+^^ cents.
Range
2
is
to about
+94
cents. At
power
up,
all
notes are
in
Range
1. After going
into Scale
Mode,
turning a pot all
the
way
clockwise
will
cause
it to
automatically switch
to Range
2.
You will
hear
the jump
in
pitch.
Turning
the
knob
counter-clockwise
again,
you
can dial the
exact pitch
you
want,
and
turning
it
completely
counter-clockwise
will cause a
switch
back
to
Range
1. (You
will notice a
random
LED
will
light on
the
front
panel when a
pot is in
Range
1. This
LED
has
no
useful
meaning and
can
be
ignored.) Scale
Mode
programs
can still
be
recorded
as
usual.
For
those
with
Rev
3.3 machines (120
programs),
a new
feature has
been
added
to
allow
more
flexible
operation in
Scale
Mode
with the three
files. A file can be
independently
selected
in
Scale
Mode,
so
it is
possible to
have one file just
for Scale
Mode
programs,
and
one
for
Patch
programs.
Additionally,
moving
Scale
Mode
programs
between
files is
now
much
easier—it's
the same
as
in
Patch Mode. 3ust
switch to
Scale
Mode
and
follow the
same instructions
as
given for regular Patch
Mode
File operations. Saving
or loading
programs to
tape (either
sequencer or regular
cassette) always
references the file
selected in
Patch Mode.
It is now
possible to
switch both
Patch and
Scale Mode
programs
in
a sequence.
The
sequencer
now remembers
whether
you were in
Patch or Scale
Mode when
a
program
change was recorded, and
when playing back,
the changes
will be loaded
accordingly,
although the
actual front panel
mode does not
change. For example, say you are in
Patch
Mode when
playing back a
sequence.
Patch Mode
changes will
be displayed in
the front panel,
but Scale
program changes
will
not—even though
you
can
hear the
tunings change. To produce such a
sequence,
you would
probably want
to edit
Patch
Mode programs in
on a
second pass
after
recording the
notes, then go out
of
Edit,
switch
to Scale Mode and
enter
another Edit
cycle to
add the Scale
Mode changes.
(Note: After power on,
remember to enter
Scale
Mode and switch
PRESET on
before
running
sequences with Scale Mode
changes.)
