CONNECTIONS
The following paragraphs describe connections which can be made to the
back panel of the Prophet VS. Except for the MIDI jacks, all signal connectors
are standard 1/4-inch phone jacks.
CAUTION! Switch power o to all equipment in use before disconnecting or
connecting any cable.
OUTPUT
Note: Stereo monitoring is strongly recommended.
1. To drive a monophonic amp, use the RIGHT/MONO jack only.
2. To drive a stereophonic preamp or amp, use both outputs.
3. To drive headphones or a stereo cable, connect them to LEFT/PHONES.
(Be sure nothing is plugged into RIGHT/MONO.)
The Prophet VS has a very exible output system. The LEFT/PHONES jack is
a tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) type. The tip is always connected to the left channel. If
RIGHT/MONO is disconnected, the ring of LEFT/PHONES is the right channel.
If RIGHT/MONO is connected, the ring is disconnected.
The RIGHT/MONO jack is a tip-sleeve (TS) type. If LEFT/PHONES is discon-
nected, the RIGHT/MONO tip is a monophonic mix of both channels. If LEFT/
PHONES is connected, the tip is the right channel only.
The impedance of the headphones or preamp/amp which are connected basi-
cally doesn’t matter. The audio output drivers can handle virtually any load and
are protected against shorts.
FOOTSWITCHES
4. Connect footswitch (not included) to the ALTERNATE RELEASE footswitch
jack.
The footswitch should be of the type that is normally open, and is
pressed to momentarily close. Sequential Model 839 is suitable.
This footswitch can be progammed to operate like a “sustain” pedal
on a piano. (Actually, it switches back and forth between two release
values.)
5. If a second footswitch is available, connect it to the AUX footswitch jack. The
AUX footswitch duplicates the function of the Arpeggiator Latch/Transpose
switch. (Again, see the main text.)
