Global Settings
23. Sustain Polarity: Normal, Reversed—There are two types of
momentary footswitches, normally open and normally closed. Either
type can be used with the Sustain switch input. This setting allows you
to accommodate both models in case yours behaves in a way that is
the opposite of what you expect due to its polarity. (Sustain is on until
the footswitch is pressed and then it turns off, which is the opposite of
the expected behavior.) Connect your pedal and choose the appropriate
setting based on its behavior.
24. Sustain Arp: Arp hold, Sustain—Sets the function for the sustain
pedal input the rear of the synthesizer. Selecting arp hold and pressing
the sustain pedal causes the arpeggiator to hold the current arpeggio as
if you had pressed the hold button on the front panel. Selecting sustain
chooses normal sustain pedal operation.
25. Calibrate Wheels—Calibrates the Pitch and Mod wheels.
26. Calibrate Sliders—Calibrates touch slider 1 and touch slider 2.
27. Basic Program—Loads a basic template program.
28. Calibrate Filters—Calibrates the lters. You shouldn’t need to do
this under normal circumstances since the lters are calibrated at the
factory and generally don’t require re-calibration or re-tuning.
29. Update Application—Updates the Prophet X operating system. To
do this you must download the new OS to a properly formatted USB
ash drive/thumb drive (see “Formatting a USB Flash Drive” on page
121) then connect the drive to the sample import port on the rear of the
Prophet X.
30. Update Library: Factory, User 1-8, Add-On 1-32—Imports add-on
sample libraries from a properly formatted USB ash drive/thumb drive
(see “Formatting a USB Flash Drive” on page 121) connected to the
sample import port on the rear of the Prophet X.
31. Format USB Drive—Formats a USB ash drive (thumb drive) so
that it can be used with the Prophet X to import add-on sample libraries
or update the operating system.
