Prophet Rev2 User’s Guide
Adding Aftertouch
The Prophet Rev2 provides four different pressure response settings for your
convenience. The default setting provides a linear response. To choose a different
response curve, use the pressure curve parameter in the global menu.
Misc Parameters
The misc parameters button allows you to access controls for a number
of essential functions, described below.
Program Volume: 0…127—The master output level of the Prophet Rev2
is controlled by the front-panel master volume knob. In addition, the
volume of an individual program can be set with the program volume
parameter. This is useful for ensuring that sounds have roughly the same
volume from program to program. Unison sounds in particular can be
very loud compared to other programs.
Osc 1 Note Reset: Off, On—When note reset is off, the oscillators are
free running, which is typically how analog synths behave. That is, the
oscillators are running whether a note is being gated on (played) or not.
When the amplier envelope is set for a fast attack, this can cause a
soft, but detectable, pop or click at the beginning of a note because the
note might be gated on at a point in the wave’s cycle other than a zero
crossing. The rst cycle to play might be truncated. For some sounds,
like monophonic basses, this may actually be desirable. It adds a bit of
randomness to the attack that can make it sound more organic. When
note reset is on, the wave is always reset to zero — the start of its cycle
— when a note is gated on.
Osc 2 Note Reset: Off, On—See the explanation above.
Osc 1 Key On/Off: Off, On—When on, the oscillator is controlled by the
keyboard or note data received via MIDI. When off, the oscillator plays
at its base frequency setting and its pitch doesn’t change when you play
notes on the keyboard (although its pitch may be affected by modulation
from other sources).
Osc 2 Key On/Off: Off, On—See the explanation above.
