Prophet 12 Operation Manual
Global Settings
6. MIDI Param Receive: Off, CC NRPN—Sets the method by which
parameter changes are received via MIDI. As with transmission, NRPNs
are the preferred method.
7. MIDI Control Enable: Off, On—When On, the synth will respond to
MIDI controllers, including Pitch Wheel, Mod Wheel, Pedal, Breath,
Volume, and Expression.
8. MIDI Sysex Enable: Off, On—When On, the synth will respond to
received MIDI SysEx messages, and will transmit them, when prompted,
to the MIDI Out. See Sysex Messages on page 82 for details.
9. MIDI Sysex Cable: None, MIDI Port, USB—Sets the port, MIDI or
USB, by which System Exclusive data will be transmitted and received.
10. MIDI Out Select: Off, MIDI, USB, MIDI+USB—Sets the port by which
MIDI data will be transmitted.
11. Local Control: Off, On—When on (the default), the keyboard and
front panel controls directly affect the Prophet 12. When off, the controls
are transmitted via MIDI but do not directly affect the “local” synth (that
is, the Prophet 12). This is primarily useful for avoiding MIDI data loops
that can occur with some external sequencers.
12. Mono/Stereo: Stereo, Mono—The Prophet 12 defaults to stereo
operation. When set to Mono, this parameter defeats all pan settings and
modulation, effectively making each of the outputs a mono output.
13. Pot Mode: Relative, Passthru, Jump—The rotary controls on the
Prophet 12’s front panel are a mixture of “endless” rotary encoders and
potentiometers or “pots.” The pots are identiable by their lined knobs
and the fact that they have about 300° of travel. There are three pot
modes to determine how the synth reacts when the programmable param-
eters are edited. (Master volume is not programmable, so these modes
don’t apply.)
When set to Relative, changes are relative to the stored setting. In Rela-
tive mode, the full value range is not available until either the minimum
or maximum value and the respective lower or upper limit of the pot’s
travel is reached.
