Calibrating the Prophet Rev2
Because the Prophet Rev2 is calibrated at the factory, controls such as
the Pitch and Mod wheels shouldn’t require re-calibration. However, if
for some reason you experience unexpected behavior with these controls,
you can use the built-in calibration function to tune them occasionally.
Calibrating the Oscillators and Filters
To calibrate the oscillators and lters:
1. Press the global button.
2. Use the parameter knob to select calibrate, then press the write button.
3. The synthesizer performs its auto-calibration procedure. Don’t turn off
the power while it’s doing this.
4. When nished, the front panel controls will return to normal and you
can play the Prophet Rev2 again.
Calibrating the Pitch and Mod Wheels
To calibrate the Pitch and Mod wheels:
1. Press the global button.
2. Use the parameter knob to select calibrate wheels, then follow the
instructions in the display.
3. When nished, the front panel controls will return to normal and you
can play the Prophet Rev2 again.
Resetting the Global Parameters
If you’re trying to track down a problem, it’s sometimes a good idea to
reset the Global parameters to their defaults. This is a quick way to make
sure that the Prophet Rev2 returns to its factory settings.
To reset all Global parameters to their default settings:
1. Press the global button.
2. Use the parameter knob to select reset globals, then press write.
