Global Settings
Sequential
pedals may be wired in reverse, with the wiper connected to the ring
of the jack and the reference voltage to the tip. Either type can be used
with the Prophet-5. If the expression pedal causes abrupt changes in the
parameter (instead of smooth, continuous control) try switching this
mode.
4. Alt Tuning: NOL, 1…16 (Normal, 1…16)—Selects one of the Prophet-10’s
built-in tunings. Set to normal (NOL) the tuning is standard, chromatic tuning.
Choosing 1 through 16 selects an alternative, non-chromatic, non-Western
scale that can be used to emulate ethnic instruments or in other creative ways.
See “Appendix D: Alternative Tunings” on page 64 for a description of
each tuning. Additional tunings can be imported into the Prophet-10 as a
SysEx message.
5. Vel Response: 0-6 (Curve 0, Curve 1, Curve 2, Curve 3, Curve 4, Curve
5, Curve 6)—Sets one of seven velocity curves to adjust the keyboard’s velocity
response to your playing style.
6. AT Response: 0-7 (Curve 0, Curve 1, ... Curve 7)—Sets one of eight
pressure curves to adjust the keyboard’s aftertouch response to your play-
ing style.
7. Pgm Dump: PrO, Ban, GrP, USr, ALL (Program, Bank, Group, User
Banks, All)—Transmits the current program, the current bank, the current
group, all user banks, or all banks (both user and factory) in SysEx
format via the selected MIDI port. (See “Appendix C: Exporting and
Importing Programs/Banks” on page 62. Dumped programs will load
back into the same bank and program location in memory when received by
the Prophet-10 via MIDI.
