SECTION
8
FACTORY
PROGRAMS
8-0 INTRODUCTION
The
Prophet
is
shipped
"ready-to-play,"
with 120
factory
programs. As
explained
in
paragraph
1-3, the
programs are organized as three 'fO-program
files,
each
file
in
turn
consisting
of
five banks
of
eight
programs each.
Use of the PROGRAMMER
switches
to select
programs
was also discussed in paragraph
1-3.
This
section
contains
maps
of
the three
Program Files, and
front-panel
patch diagrams for
only the
programs
in File
1.
Go
ahead and
experiment with editing and
recording
programs. You
can always
restore
the
Prophet-5
to its original condition by loading the
factory Program
Files
through
the
cassette interface (as
explained in Section 'f).
8-1
PROGRAM FILE 1
File
1 consists
of the
Prophet-5's
original
^0
sounds. While
many
of these
sounds
have
become "classics," they
are still only the
beginning
of what
can be
done
with
the
instrument.
We have included the front-panel
diagrams
for
these
programs
to
encourage you to familiarize yourself with the
Prophet's
capabilities.
Knowing
how
these programs
are set up will help
you
understand
the process
of
programming
in
general, and
it will definitely
make
it easier for
you to begin
adjusting,
fine
tuning,
and
altering
(in other words, editing) the
various
preset
programs
to suit
your
particular musical needs and tastes.
Along with each
diagram for this file
you will
find
comments
and
notes by
Tom
Darter
concerning various aspects
of
each program. These
notes
contain the
following
information: the use
of
the
WHEEL-MOD
section
with
each patch,
including
the
optimum
settings for the
MOD
wheel to create
the effects
that
are program
med-in;
special considerations concerning performance
on the
keyboard
(what
range
to use,
whether
to use
a
sustained, chordal approach or
a
staccato,
detached
approach,
etc.)
to
obtain
the
maximum
effect
from
the program;
an
explanation
of
potentially
-active
settings,
such as the octave doubling in the
Brass program
1-1,
which
can be
engaged
by adding
a
waveform from OSC B;
an indication
of
control
positions
that
can be
adjusted
to alter some
aspect
of
the patch. This
information
is
provided
to help you
edit the
patch to suit your
tastes.
Occasionally
there is also some
explanation
of how
some
aspect of the
patch works,
such
as the
discussions
included
with programs
1-2,
1-*^,
and
1-6.
These
short
discussions
should help
you understand why
a particular
patch is configured
the way
it
is,
and
should
also help
you
create your own
sounds.
