Prophet-6 Operation Manual
Getting Started
Getting Started
The Prophet-6 is a six-voice, polyphonic analog synthesizer with
voltage-controlled oscillators, lters, and ampliers. It was designed to
provide all of the warmth and presence of a vintage-era synth with the
added convenience and stability of a state-of-the-art, modern instrument.
The Prophet-6 is rst and foremost a performance instrument. All of its
sound-shaping controls are immediately accessible on its front panel,
packing a tremendous amount of power and versatility into a compact,
easy-to-use format.
You can nd in-depth information about each of the Prophet-6’s parame-
ters in later sections of this manual. But don’t hesitate to dive right in and
start turning knobs and pressing buttons before you begin reading. You
can always get back to where you started, even if you have no idea what
you’re doing. So start exploring and keep your ears and mind open!
