and turn the pot all the way up, it will only go to 90. To get to the maximum

value of 127, you first 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).

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.

Encoder Mode: Detent, Non-Det – Optimizes behavior for the type of rotary

encoders (detented or non-detented) on your Prophet ’08. If you’re reading this

in a printed manual that came with a new instrument, you should have a Prophet

’08 PE with detented encoders. Just leave it set to Detent.

If you have updated the OS from an earlier version that did not include this

parameter, you’ll need to determine which hardware version of the Prophet you

have in order to choose the optimum setting. Early standard Prophet ’08s and all

Special Editions originally shipped with non-detented rotary encoders. That is,

all the controls rotate smoothly and without detents or obvious steps. On these

Prophets, this parameter should be set to Non-Det.

If you have a Potentiometer Edition (PE) Prophet, whether purchased that way

or converted from the earlier hardware version, set the parameter to Detent. This

is true even for those PEs that have a mixture of detented and non-detented

encoders. How do you know for certain if your Prophet is a PE? If the filter’s

Frequency control has definite minimum and maximum settings (that is, it

doesn’t just turn endlessly), it is a PE.

LCD Contrast: xxx

MultiMode: xxx

LCD Contrast: 1…100 – This sets the contrast level for the LCD.

MultiMode: Off, On – MultiMode allows separate MIDI control of voices 1

through 4 and 5 through 8. The implementation is fairly simple and enables

independent, bi-timbral control of the Prophet.

MultiMode is intended for use with an external sequencer or other MIDI

controller controlling the Prophet ’08. It is meant to be a one-way interface (that

is, from your sequencer to the Prophet).
