Prophet-10 User’s Guide
Mixer
Mixer
The Mixer section is where you set the levels of the various sound gen-
erators on the Prophet-10. These include Oscillator A, Oscillator B, and
the white noise generator. You must turn up at least one of these in order
to make sound with the Prophet-10. (Alternatively, you can use the lter
to generate its own sine wave in self-oscillating mode by turning Reso-
nance to its maximum.)
Rather than limit the Prophet-10’s outputs to keep the instrument from
clipping, we allow you to adjust levels at various points in its signal path. This gives
you the option to “overload” things in interesting ways, if you wish to do so. If not, try
reducing the levels of the oscillators in the mixer section, the sustain parameter in the
Amplier Envelope, or the resonance parameter in the lter.
The Mixer
Osc A: Sets the output level of Oscillator A.
Osc B: Sets the output level of Oscillator B.
Noise: Sets the output level of the white noise generator.
