PRESET
SELECTION
Since
the
Prophet
is
shipped
with a
full
complement
of 120
factory
programs
it
will
be
ready
to
play
as
soon
as
initial
tuning is
completed.
At
this
point
the
Prophet
automatically
enters
PRESET
Mode,
meaning
that
it
is
ready
to
patch
the
synthesizer
voices
according
to a
program
stored
in the
Prophet's
microcomputer
memory.
The
120
programs
are
organized
as
three
'tO-program
files.
Only one
file
can be
active
in
the
PROGRAMMER
at a
time.
Each
*0-program
file
is
in
turn
arranged
as
five
banks
of
eight
programs
each.
The
BANK
SELECT
switch
steps
through
the file's
five
banks
in
order,
and
the
eight
PROGRAM
SELECT
switches
(numbered
1
through 8)
allow
immediate
selection
of a
particular
program
within
a
bank.
When
the
Prophet
first
"comes-up,"
Program
File 1
is
active.
To
choose
one
of
these
40
programs,
step
through
the
banks
until
you
reach
the
desired
BANK then
press
the
PROGRAM
SELECT
switch
for the
program
you
wish.
The
selected
bank
will
be
indicated
by
the
numeric
display,
and
the
selected
program
will
be
indicated
both
by
the
numeric
display
and by
an
LED
embedded
in the
PROGRAM
SELECT
switches.
To
select
Program
Files
2 or
3,
hold
the
BANK
switch
and
press
PROGRAM
SELECT
2
or
3. This
will
bring a
fresh set of
40
programs
to the
PROGRAMMER.
The file number
is
indicated
on the
numeric
display
with
decimal
points:
no
decimal
point indicates
File
1;
a
decimal
point
after
the
BANK
digit
indicates
File
2;
a
decimal
point after
the
PROGRAM
digit
indicates
File
3.
(To
return to
File
1,
hold
BANK
and
press
PROGRAM
SELECT 1.)
All
factory
programs
in
the
three
files
are
charted
in
Section 8.
Also
included are
specific
patch
diagrams
and
comments
for
Program
File 1.
The three
program files are
also recorded
on
the
included
cassette.
Use of
the
cassette
interface
for program
storage is
discussed
in
Section
4.
The
Prophet
can
also
be
operated
in
MANUAL
Mode
(PRESET

with the
knobs and
switches
functioning
as
described
in
Section

PITCH AND
MOD
WHEELS
The
PITCH and
modulation
(MOD)
wheels
are located
to the
left
of the
keyboard.
Both
wheels affect all
voices
simultaneously.
The
PITCH wheel
has a
center
detent
position,
from which the
pitch of
all voices
may
be
varied up
or down
by
about a
5th.
The MOD
wheel
determines
the
amount of
modulation
routed
via
the
WHEEL-MOD
settings
of a particular
program.
When the
wheel is
fully
down
no
modulation
will
occur, and when the
wheel is
fully up
a
maximum
of
modulation
will occur.
For
information
on the
effects that
may be
engaged
within
Program
File
1,
see
the
notes
accompanying each patch
diagram in
Section
8.
