Global Settings
Sequential
4. Param Rcv: Off, CC, NRn—Sets the method by which parameter changes
are received via MIDI. As with transmission, NRPNs are the preferred method.
5. MIDI Control: Off, On—When On, the synth will respond to MIDI
controllers, including Pitch Wheel, Mod Wheel, Pedal, Volume.
6. MIDI Sysex: Mdi, USB— When set to MIDI (Mdi) it will receive
and transmit them using the MIDI ports/cables When set to USB it
will receive and transmit them using the USB port/cable. MIDI SysEx
messages are used when sending and receiving a variety of data includ-
ing, programs, alternative tunings, system updates, and more.
7. MIDI Out: Off, Mdi, USB, ALL—Sets the port by which MIDI data will
be transmitted (MIDI and/or USB).
8. Local Control: Off, SOm, ALL—When on (the default), the keyboard
and front panel controls directly affect the Prophet-10. When off, the
front panel controls are transmitted via MIDI but do not directly affect
the “local” synth (that is, the Prophet-10). This is primarily useful for
avoiding MIDI data loops that can occur with some external sequencers.
When set to “SOn ” the front panel controls of the Prophet-10 remain
active, but the pitch and mod wheels do not directly affect the “local”
synth (that is, the Prophet-10).

1. Pot Mode:
REL, Pas, Jup
(
Relative, Passthru, Jump)—
There are three pot
(potentiometer) modes to determine how the synth reacts when the program-
mable parameters are edited. (Master volume is not programmable, so these
modes don’t apply.)
In Relative mode, changes are relative to the stored setting. In Relative 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.
For example,
the resonance parameter has an internal value range of 0 to 127. Let’s
say the physical position of the resonance pot is the equivalent to an
internal value of 100. If you switch to a program that has a stored Reso-
nance value of 63 and turn the pot all the way up, it will only go to 90.
To get to the maximum value of 127, you rst have to turn down until the
value is at the other extreme and the pot is at the limit of its travel (in this
case, 0 and fully counter-clockwise, respectively).
