Other modulation ideas:
• To create the “attack pitch blip” effect in classic synth brass sounds, dial up
a good two-oscillator synth brass sound (such as preset U2 P4 80s Synth
Brass) then route Envelope 3 to osc2 freq and set Envelope 3 to Attack: 0,
Decay: 30, Sustain: 0, and Release: 0 with an amount of 18.
• Route an LFO to pan to create an auto-panning effect. Panning width is
controlled by the modulation amount. Panning speed is controlled by
the LFO frequency. Add a second mod path to control the LFO speed
with the Mod Wheel for a faux rotating speaker spin-up/spin-down
effect. Enable the chorus effect and set up a third mod path to control
fx mix with the mod wheel for even better results.
• Route velocity to lter drive to subtly overdrive the lter the harder
you play.
Effects
You can add two digital effects to any Prophet X program. In stacked or split
sounds, each layer can have its own independent effects.
Not all sounds need effects to make them interesting, but adding a touch
of reverb or delay can add a sense depth, just as adding chorus, anging,
or phasing can add movement.
Effects settings are saved individually with each program. If you enable
the
sync button, time-based effects such as the delays can be synchronized
to the arpeggiator, sequencer, or MIDI clock for repeats that occur on the
beat.

To use Effects:
1. Press the effect 1 button to turn on effect 1.
1. Press the select 1/2 button to select effect 1 for editing.
2. Turn the effect type knob to choose an effect.
3. Turn the mix knob to blend in a good amount of the processed signal.
You’ll want to be able to clearly hear the effect when you tweak its
settings. You can dial it down afterward.
4. Use the param 1, param 2, and param 3 knobs to adjust the effect’s
parameters to your taste. See “Effects Parameters” on page 60 for
details on the adjustable parameters on each effect type.
5. Finally, adjust the mix knob again to optimize the amount of the effect.
Full left is completely dry. Full right is completely wet (a 100%
processed signal).
6. To sync a delay to the arpeggiator or sequencer, press the sync button
and adjust the time parameter (Parameter 1) as needed.
