1. AC Power Connector—Accepts a standard, grounded IEC power
cord. Operates over a range of 100 to 240 volts and 50 to 60 Hz.
2. Sample Import—Accepts a standard, USB 3.0 ash drive (USB stick)
for importing samples into the Prophet X. The Prophet X has an inter-
nal memory capacity of 50 GB for additional sound libraries and user
samples. See “Formatting a USB Flash Drive” on page 120 to learn how
to import sample libraries.
3. USB—For bidirectional MIDI communication with a computer. The
Prophet X is a Class Compliant USB device and does not require addi-
tional drivers when used with Mac OS or Windows. See Using USB on

4. MIDI In, Out, and Thru—Standard 5-pin MIDI DIN connectors.
5. Sequencer—Accepts a momentary, normally open or normally closed
footswitch to turn the sequencer or arpeggiator on and off. Alternatively,
an audio signal connected to this jack can be used to either control
sequencer/arpeggiator playback, or to gate the lter and amplier enve-
lopes while notes are held. See Seq Pedal Mode on page 126 for more
information about choosing the appropriate mode for these behaviors.
Audio signals used to drive the arpeggiator/sequencer should not exceed 5
volts peak-to-peak.
6. Sustain—Accepts a momentary, normally open or normally closed
footswitch to control sustain.
7. Volume—Accepts a standard expression pedal that has a variable
resistor on a TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) ¼ inch phone plug. Once connected,
you can use the modulation matrix to route the pedal to control a variety
of things such as volume or lter cutoff frequency to add expressiveness
to live performance.
8. Pedal/CV—Accepts a standard expression pedal that has a variable
resistor on a TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) ¼ inch phone plug. Once connected,
you can use the modulation matrix to route the pedal to control a variety
of things such as volume or lter cutoff frequency to add expressiveness
to live performance.
