Key Mode: Low, Hi,Last, LowR, HiR, LastR—Sometimes called “note
priority,” this determines what note has priority when more than one note
is played on the keyboard or via MIDI when unison mode is enabled:
• Low-Note Priority is most common in vintage synths and is often used
for playing trills by holding a note and repeatedly tapping a lower note.
• Low Retrigger causes the envelopes to be retriggered with each
keystroke.
• High Note and High Retrigger are similar to the low note settings,
except that the highest note is given priority.
• Last Note and Last Retrigger give priority to the last note played.
Env 3 Repeat: Off, On—When on, the Delay, Attack, and Decay
segments of the envelope repeat. Sustain still affects the level at which
the Decay segment ends, but instead of sustaining at a xed level while
a note is gated on, Delay, Attack, and Decay loop until the note is turned
off. The Release segment begins when the note is gated off, just as it
does when Repeat is off.
VCA Level: 1...127—Sets a base level for the VCA (Voltage Controlled
Amplier). This allows the VCA to be bypassed for programs that drone.
If VCA LEVEL is on full, Envelope Amount has no effect. For typical keyboard
playing, VCA LEVEL is set to zero.
Split Point: C-2...C8—Sets the split point for Layer B in Split A|B mode.
In split mode, playing a key on the left side of the keyboard will play the
Layer A sound and playing a key on the right side will play the Layer B
sound. Polyphony is allocated equally between the two sounds, half of
the available voices on Layer A and half on Layer B. The split point is
saved with the program.
Exporting Programs and Banks
You can use the pgm dump command in the global menu to transmit the
current program, bank, or all banks in SysEx format via the selected
MIDI port. This allows you to save your programs so that you can share
them or archive them. You will need a computer and software application
such as SysEx Librarian for Macintosh, or MIDIOX for Windows.
To export a program or bank as a SysEx le over MIDI:
1. Connect your synthesizer to a computer using a USB cable.
2. Open your MIDI librarian software (SysEx Librarian, etc.) and cong-
ure it to receive SysEx messages.
3. Press the global button on your synth.
4. Use the parameter knob to select midi sysex cable, then use the value
knob to choose usb.
5. Use the parameter knob to select dump prog, dump bank, or dump all
banks, depending on which of these you would like to do.
6. Press write. The program or bank is exported
Dumped programs will load back into the same bank and program location in
memory when received by the Prophet Rev2 via MIDI.
