Appendix C: MIDI Implementation
The Prophet-6 receives MIDI data according to the settings you have
chosen in the global settings. In addition, there is interaction between
some of the Program parameters that determine the overall response of
Prophet-6 to MIDI data. Following are the Global parameters that affect
response to MIDI:
MIDI Channel: All, 1…16—Selects which MIDI channel to send and
receive data, 1 to 16. All receives on all 16 channels.
MIDI Clock: Sets the Prophet-6’s ability to send and receive MIDI clock
messages:
• Off: MIDI Clock is neither sent nor received
• Out: MIDI Clock is sent, but not received
• In: MIDI Clock is received, but not sent
• Slave Thru (i-0): MIDI Clock is received and passed to MIDI Out
• In, No Start/Stop (n55): Receives MIDI Clock but does not respond to
MIDI Start or Stop command.
When set to in or slave thru, if no MIDI clock is present at the selected input,
the arpeggiator and sequencer will not function.
Clock Port: MID, USB—Sets the port(s), MIDI or USB, by which MIDI
clock signals are received.
Param Xmit: Off, CC, NR—Changes to the values of front panel controls
are transmitted via MIDI as Continuous Controllers (CC) or Non-registered
Parameter Number (NR). Transmission of parameters can also be turned off.
NRPNs are the preferred method of parameter transmission, since they cover
the complete range of all parameters, while CCs are limited to a range of 128.
Param Rcv: Off, CC, NR—Sets the method by which parameter changes are
received via MIDI. As with transmission, NRPNs are the preferred method.
