Shape/PW: see table – Selects the analog waveshape as follows:

Sawtooth – Triangle mix 
Pulse xx 
Pulse Wave, with pulse width ranging from minimum 
(0) to maximum (99). The pulse width will turn off at the 
two extremes – this allows some interesting modulation 
possibilities. A square wave will be at Pulse 50. 
Glide: 0…127 – Sets the Oscillator Glide (portamento) rate. Glide can be set 
independently for each oscillator. Low settings are faster. 
Note: See “Glide Mode” in Miscellaneous Parameters on page 18 for 
additional Glide settings. 
Sync 2-> 1 – When enabled (lit), turns oscillator hard sync on. With sync on, 
whenever oscillator 2 resets, it will force oscillator 1 to reset for the classic hard 
sync sound. 
Mix: 0...127 – Enables the outputs of Oscillators 1 and 2 to be mixed in varying 
amounts. A setting of 0 is equivalent to 100% Oscillator 1 and 0% Oscillator 2. 
A setting of 127 is just the opposite. A setting of 64 is essentially a 50-50 mix of 
both oscillators. 
Noise 
Level: 0…127 – Controls the volume of white noise mixed into the filter. 
Low-pass Filter 
Each of the Prophet '08's voices utilizes an analog low-pass filter coupled with a 
4-stage (plus delay) ADSR envelope generator. 
4 Pole – Selects either 2- or 4-pole operation for the filter. (The filter is in 4-
pole mode when the 4
 POLE switch is lit.) 
Frequency: 0…164 – Sets the base filter cutoff frequency over more than 13 
octaves. 
Resonance: 0…127 – Sets the Resonance level of the filter. At high settings the 
filter will self-oscillate in 4-pole mode. If the filter does not oscillate, make sure 
the 4 P
OLE switch is on.
