MIDI IN combo box selects the midi interface port to which your Prophet ’08’s Midi Out
is connected. This interface processes midi data sent to Prophet ’08 Sound Editor
from the Prophet ’08.
MIDI IN recognizes and filters out incoming midi data in two ways:
1) The SysEx dump byte size must match expected byte count for the message type
2) The SysEx dump message signature must be set for the Prophet ’08 (the byte that
specifies the kind of SysEx message) If either of these two conditions is not met,
Prophet ’08 Sound Editor will ignore the invalid message and the data will not be
processed.
MIDI OUT combo box selects the midi interface port to which your Prophet ’08’s Midi
In is connected. All data sent from Prophet ’08 Sound Editor (parameters, commands,
continuous controllers, and notes played by mouse piano or assigned computer keys)
goes to this port.
Poll button looks for and activates the midi ports if available.
Note: To reset (jump start) the connection between your midi interface and Prophet
’08 Sound Editor click Poll. This should reset the drivers, empty buffer contents, and
reset the interface.
After making your configuration selections, click the POLL PROPHET ’08 button. If
MIDI communication is working correctly, the program will display the Prophet ’08
ROM Software Version at the top of the window.
Click the OK button to store the settings and close the dialog box. You are now ready
to explore Prophet ’08 SoundEditor!
