Touch Sliders

The Prophet X has two position-sensitive touch sliders. Like the pitch

and mod wheels, you can use these sliders to enhance live performance

by adding modulation in real time as you play.

Each slider serves as a modulation source, the value of which is deter-

mined by nger position. The touch sliders appear in the modulation

matrix as Slider 1 and Slider 2. (See “Appendix A: Modulation Sources”

on page 130.)

Normally, the sliders affect the assigned modulation destinations only

while they’re being touched. But when

latch is on, the slider holds the

value from the position at which it was last touched.

Use the mod matrix to assign modulation destinations to the sliders. You

can route multiple modulation destinations to a slider. To display the

modulation matrix, press the assign source or assign dest buttons in the

Modulation section. Modulations slots and routings appear in the display.
