Prophet-10 User’s Guide
Global Settings
In Passthru mode, turning the pot has no effect until after the edited
value equals the preset value (that is, until the edited value “passes
through” the stored value).
Jump mode uses an absolute value based upon the position of the pot
when edited: turn a pot and the value jumps immediately from the stored
value to the edited value.
2. Release/Sustain : reL, HLd (Release, Hold)—This determines how
the front panel release switch affects the release parameter of both the
Filter Envelope and Amplier Envelope.
The release switch affects the behavior of the Filter and Amplier Enve-
lopes. The original Prophet-5 had a different way of handling Release
from the more common method used today. If the release switch is on,
the release knob setting on the Filter and Amplier envelopes is used. If
the release switch is off, the Release on both envelopes is fast.
If you then connect a footswitch, it acts somewhat like a piano: it’s
a quick release when the footswitch is not pressed, and it’s a longer
(programmed by the knob) release when the footswitch is held. Note that
the release switch needs to be off for the footswitch to operate this way.
Since this is, after all, essentially a ten-voice Prophet-5, we wanted it to
match the original synth. These days, however, many musicians expect
the footswitch to be a “hold” function, which is of course different than
the Prophet-5 release switch. So, we added a Global parameter that
allows you to select the original Prophet-5 method, or a more common
hold function with the footswitch.
Use the release/sustain parameter to choose between classic Prophet-5
Release handling (rEL) or the more contemporary Hold method (HLd).
3. Pedal Mode: nOL, REU (Normal, Reversed) —Sets the Prophet-5’s
response to an expression connected to either the amp jack or filter jack
on the rear of the Prophet-10. There are two main wiring schemes for
expression pedals that use a TRS connector. The most common connects
the wiper of the pedal’s potentiometer to the tip of the jack, while the
reference voltage is connected to the ring of the jack. Alternatively,
