Sequential Prophet VS - MASTER TUNE; KEYBOARD FUNCTIONALITY

as the other decreases. The Prophet VS can pan its voices to specic or
moving positions within the stereo eld
Check that Balance is centered, or set as desired.
Balance is best used to temporarily compensate for stereo position of the
output. Within each program there are several controls or modulators that
aect the voice loudness (including Program Volume, velocity, or pressure),
and these should be used for actually mixing levels in the Prophet VS. (For
example, it is better to balance Split or Double mode programs using Program
Volume.)
MASTER TUNE
This is perhaps the most basic performance parameter. To match the Prophet
VS's tuning to other ensemble instruments such as an acoustic piano, Master
Tune simultaneously adjusts the playback pitch of all voices over a limited
range. Master tuning can also compensate for tape speed variations.
Note: Master Tune is a non-programmable control and aects all programs
in the VS. The Master Tune adjustment is held in nonvolatile memory while
power is o. Therefore when power is switched on, Master Tune will be set to
however you last set it, so you don't need to worry about it each time power is
switched on.
To adjust master tuning:
1. Press Master Tune.
This is found under PITCH, on the far right.
The display shows the current master tuning oset from A- 4^0, from -99 to
+99 cents. (A cent equals 1/100 of a semitone.)
2. Play a key and use the slider to adjust the value.
By the way, since the Prophet VS uses digital oscillators, they do not drift.
3. To clear the "MASTER TUNE" display, select a program (or any parameter).
KEYBOARD
The keyboard ranges ve octaves (61-note: Cl - C6), and is touch- sensitive
both to key attack speed (velocity) and after-touch (pressure). Depending on
the specic selected program, the keyboard may switch between Single, Split,
and Double modes, as described in Section 3.
