Formatting a USB Flash Drive

In order to use a USB 3.0 ash drive (USB stick) to import add-on

sample libraries or install new versions of the Prophet X OS, you will

need to properly format the drive. Formatting the ash drive will erase

any previously-recorded data on the drive. Formatting time will vary

depending on the size of the USB ash drive. Larger drives take longer.

To format a USB ash drive:

1. Insert the USB 3.0 ash drive into the sample import port on the rear

panel of the Prophet X.

2. Press the global button.

3. Use soft knob 1 to select format usb drive.

4. Press Soft Key 1 (format now). Depending on the size of the USB

Flash drive, this may take anywhere from a few seconds to several

minutes.

5. When the USB drive is formatted, you can use it with the Prophet X.

Importing Add-On Samples/Instruments

You can add an additional 50 GB of samples by purchasing add-on

sample/instruments or importing your own. (User-created samples will

be supported in a future software release.) You’ll need to download

and copy them to a properly formatted USB 3.0 ash drive (USB stick)

then connect the ash drive to the sample import port on the rear of the

Prophet X.

Add-on programs will load to Banks A 1-4. Samples/instruments will

load to the

user group, which you can access using the display in the

Sample Playback menu.

To see samples and instruments added to the user group, press the group

button and turn the

type knob in the Sample Playback section.
