Key Modes and Unison Mode
Key Mode (sometimes called note priority) determines what note has
priority when more than one note is played on the keyboard or via MIDI.
• 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.
To choose the Key Mode:
1. Press the misc params button and use Soft Knob 3 to scroll to the
desired mode.
2. Play a few notes to listen to the result.
Key Mode settings are only relevant to Unison mode. They do not affect poly-
phonic playback.

Master Volume/Program Volume
The master output level of the Prophet X is controlled by the front-panel
master volume knob. In addition, the volume of an individual program
can be set with the prog volume parameter (in the amp envelope menu).
This is useful for ensuring that your sounds have roughly the same
volume from program to program. Unison sounds in particular can be
very loud compared to other programs.
