Global Settings
Use the Group and Bank buttons to increment and decrement through the Global settings
To set a Global parameter:
1. Press the globals button. Pressing it once activates the upper set of
parameters. Pressing it a second time enables the lower set of param-
eters.
2. Press the program selector button (1 - 8) that corresponds to the desired
parameter. The parameters are printed above each switch.
3. Use the group and bank buttons as decrement and increment buttons to
step through available settings.
4. Once you’ve chosen the desired setting, press the globals button again
to exit.
Globals - Top Row
1. Transpose: -12…12—Master Transpose control, 0 is centered. Steps
in semitones up to one octave up (+12) or down (-12).
2. MIDI Channel: ALL, 1…16—Selects which MIDI channel to send and
receive data, 1 to 16. all receives on all 16 channels.
3. Param Xmit: Off, CC, NRn—Changes to the values of front panel
controls are transmitted via MIDI as Continuous Controllers (CC) or
Non-registered Parameter Number (NRn). Transmission of parameters
can also be turned off. You could, for example, turn the lter cutoff
frequency knob on the Prophet-10 and have it affect the cutoff frequency
of another synthesizer. For a list of Prophet-10 CCs and NRPNs, see the
Support page for the Prophet-10 on the Sequential website.
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. For a list of
Prophet-10 CCs and NRPNs, see the Prophet-10 Support page at Sequential.com.
