Oscillators
Wave Reset: Off, On—(In the osc1 shape tab in the display) When
Wave Reset is off, the Prophet X oscillators are free running. That is, the
oscillators are running whether a note is being gated on 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 wave reset is on, the
wave is always reset to zero—the start of its cycle—when a note is triggered.

Glide Rate: 0...127—Sets the oscillator glide (portamento) amount.
Glide can be set independently for each oscillator. Low values are
shorter/faster. The glide switch must be on to hear the effect of glide
rate. For a detailed explanation, see “Glide” on page 77.
TAB 4 - Osc Select
Soft Key 4 toggles between Osc 1 and Osc 2 so that you can edit their
parameters from the display.
