Sequential Prophet VS - EDIT WAVEFORM MODE

79
Note: Editing a waveform changes the sound of all programs that use that
waveform. You must remember that storing a new wave destroys an old wave,
and therefore changes any programs that use the number of that old wave.
So, before storing a wave it is a good idea to make sure that the NVRAM
or RAM cartridge destination number you have in mind isn't crucial for your
favorite program. Please see the paragraph below on view utility.
EDIT WAVEFORM MODE
When the Edit Waveform switch is o, the Prophet-VS operates normally, that
is, in Program Edit mode. Of course switching Edit Waveform on activates Edit
Waveform mode. The display reads:
WAVE MIX %
Axx Bxx Cxx Dxx
When the VS enters Edit Waveform mode, it no longer plays the program
selected in Program Edit mode. Instead, it plays a separate Edit Waveform
program. There is only one such program, and it resides in th VS’s non-volatile
memory. (That is, it is not erased when the VS exits Edit Waveform mode or
when power is switched o.) Its purpose is to provide a set of simple program
parameters which will not conict while you are editing waveforms. The mixer
envelope is not used. Instead, the joystick position sets the blend of the four
oscillator waveforms. With the exception of the OSCILLATOR GROUP and
Unison controls, all program parameters operate, and may be adjusted as in
Program Edit mode. If you wish, you can add modulation, resonance, or even
looping envelopes to the Edit Waveform program, but since it is not intended
for performance, there may be little point in doing so.
For simplicity, a basic, organ-style program is quickly available which
essentially resets the Edit Waveform program. To select the basic Edit
Waveform program:
1. Switch Edit Waveform o.
2. Hold down Enter and press Edit Waveform.
This enters Edit Waveform mode with the basic Edit Waveform program.
All modulation is disabled, simple envelopes are employed, and all four
oscilllators are set to the same waveform (#32 sine wave). Changing the blend
with the joystick appears to have no eect on the sound.
3. If desired, edit this basic program.
