Dave Smith Instruments
Mixer
The Mixer section is where you set the levels of the various sound
generators on the Prophet X. These include Instruments 1 and 2, which
are sampled, and Oscillators 1 and 2, which are digital oscillators. You
must turn up at least one of these sources in order to make sound with
the Prophet X. (Alternatively, you can use the lter to generate its own
sine wave by turning up resonance all the way so that it self-oscillates.)
Rather than limit the outputs of the Prophet X to keep the instrument from
clipping, we allow you to adjust levels at various points in its signal path. This gives
you the option to “overload” things in interesting ways, if you wish to do so. If not,
try reducing the levels of the instruments and oscillators in the mixer section, the env
amount parameter in the Amplier Envelope, or the resonance parameter in the lter.
