Sound Banks
The Prophet Rev2 contains a total of 1024 programs. Banks U1-U4 are
user banks that can be overwritten. Banks F1-F4 are factory banks that
are permanent. As shipped, user banks U1-U4 are identical to permanent
factory banks F1-F4. Each bank has 128 programs (x 4 banks = 512
programs each). You can edit the programs of either bank, but you can
only save them to user banks U1-U4.
Why do we include banks of non-rewritable permanent sounds? So
that they are always available, to be used as is, or as templates for new
sounds of your own. It’s easy to design a new sound by tweaking an
existing one.
