11.1. Buttons and Checkboxes
A detailed view of the buttons and checkboxes in the Prophet ’08 Bank Manager is
shown below.
Here’s how the buttons and checkboxes function:
The Use Bank Data checkbox is part of the User Program Bank functions.
When Use Bank Data is unchecked (disabled), selecting a preset from the User
Program Bank switches the Prophet ’08 to the corresponding preset. This guaranties
synchronization between the hardware and SoundEditor. When Use Bank Data is
checked (enabled), the selected preset data from the User Program Bank is sent to
the Prophet ’08 edit buffer for editing and audition. This feature helps to browse
through presets in the User Program Bank without the need for dumping the entire
bank to the hardware.
Note: When Use Bank Data is enabled, Tempo and Clock Divide data is not
sent with the program data. If a sequence is playing when you select a new
program, you will hear the new program’s sound, but it will be played at the
tempo of the original program. This can be used to quickly audition new
sounds/sequences at pre-determined tempos.
Despite its location in the window, the Auto Dump checkbox is part of the Librarian.
When the Auto Dump checkbox is checked (enabled), a selected preset from the
Librarian Program list is automatically sent to the Prophet ’08 edit buffer for
editing/audition. When Auto Dump is unchecked (disabled), no data is sent.
The Add Current Program button copies the selected program in the User Program
Bank to the current Librarian category.
