Sequencer
Arp Range: 1, 2, 3 —Set to 1, only the held notes are arpeggiated. Set to
2, the held notes and the notes one octave above them arpeggiate. Set to
3, the held notes and the notes one and two octaves above them arpeggiate.
Arp Repeats: 1, 2, 3 —Set to 1, each note in the arpeggio plays once.
Set to 2, each note in the arpeggio plays twice. Set to 3, each note in the
arpeggio plays three times.
Arp Relatch: Off, On—Works in conjunction with hold. When hold and
the arpeggiator are on, and arp relatch is off, played notes are held on
and arpeggiated, with additional played notes added to the held notes
and the arpeggio. When arp relatch is on, played notes are held on and
arpeggiated, but additional played notes will restart the arpeggio with the
new notes.
Clock Parameters
BPM: 30…250—Sets the tempo for the arpeggiator in BPM (beats per
minute). The tap tempo LED ashes at the BPM rate. When lfo sync is
enabled on the low-frequency oscillator, or clk sync is enabled in the Effects
section, the BPM rate affects the LFO frequency and/or delay effect. When
syncing to an external MIDI clock source, the BPM setting has no effect.
Divide—Selects a basic note value relative to the BPM. See the table below:
Name Tempo Timing Division
Half BPM/2 Half note
Quarter BPM Quarter note
8th BPM x 2 Eighth note
8 Half BPM x 2 Eighth note, half swing timing
8 Swing BPM x 2 Eighth note, full swing timing
8 Trip BPM x 3 Eighth note triplets
16th BPM x 4 Sixteenth note
16 half BPM x 4 Sixteenth note, half swing timing
16 Swing BPM x 4 Sixteenth note, full swing timing
16 Trip BPM x 6 Sixteenth note triplets
32nd BPM x 8 Thirty-second note
32 Trip BPM x 12 Thirty-second note triplets
64 Trip BPM x 16 Sixty-fourth note triplets
Tap Tempo—Tapping the tap tempo button sets the tempo. The LED
ashes at the BPM rate you set. For best results, tap the button 4 times.
Sequencer
There are 2 types of sequencers in the Prophet Rev2:
• 1-track, 64-step polyphonic sequencer for creating a repeating pattern of
chords and melodies
• 4-track, 16-step, non-polyphonic gated sequencer for creating a repeating
pattern for modulation (and can also be used for notes)

The Sequencer
Polyphonic Sequencer
With the polyphonic sequencer you can create sequences that are rhyth-
mically and melodically complex by constructing a repeating musical
phrase with notes, ties, and rests. You can play up to 64 steps with up to
6 notes held simultaneously per step. Use the bpm, divide, or tap tempo
controls to adjust sequencer playback speed.
In addition, you can play along with a sequence (provided there is avail-
able polyphony), making it a powerful live performance tool. When the
sequencer is playing, the arpeggiator is disabled.
