Specifications

Voice Volume: 0…127 – Sets the voice volume; usually used for matching

volumes between Programs.

Note: There is enough gain in the synth voice that with some settings,

some mild clipping distortion may be heard. If this happens, try lowering

the V

OICE VOLUME, and/or the VCA ENVELOPE AMOUNT (or VCA

ELOCITY AMOUNT).

Name – The lower LCD line will display the name of the Program. The

PARAM 1 knob selects characters for editing. (The active character blinks.) To

change the character, use the PARAM 2 knob, the V

ALUE knob or the +/YES or -

O switches.

Osc 1 Key: On, Off – Turns keyboard tracking on or off for Oscillator 1.

Osc 2 Key: On, Off – Turns keyboard tracking on or off for Oscillator 2.

Osc Slop: 0…5 – The amount of random oscillator frequency slop. The analog

oscillators in the Prophet '08 are very accurate, and will not drift. This works

great for accurate sounds, and allows precise de-tuning. Oscillator Slop allows

subtle amounts of frequency drift. For larger amounts, use a random LFO or

white noise mod.

Glide Mode: see table – Sets the way the oscillators respond to Glide settings.

Display Glide mode

FixRate

The Glide rate is fixed. The time to

transition from one note to another varies

depending upon the interval between the

notes.

FixRate A

The same, but Glide is only applied when

played legato; that is, when a new note is

hit while another note is still held. This

only applies in Unison mode.

FixTime

The Glide time is fixed. The time to

transition from one note to another is the

same, regardless of the interval.

FixTime A

The same, but Glide is only applied when

playing legato; that is, when a new note is

hit while another note is still held. This

only applies in Unison mode.

Pitch Wheel Range: 0…12 – Sets the bend range, in semitones, of the pitch

wheel. The setting is the range in the positive or negative direction. For

example, a setting of 7 lets you bend a note up or down by a fifth.
