Popup labels identifying the 
Start/Stop Sequencer and 
Sequencer Reset buttons 
are displayed when the 
cursor is placed on them. 
To the right of the Snap button is a MIDI status display. It shows the current MIDI 
status, and will display hexadecimal transmissions of MIDI data. With normal MIDI 
communication between SoundEditor and the Prophet ’08 instrument, the MIDI status 
displays ‘ON-LINE PROPHET ’08’. 
The Write button brings up the Write Program window, allowing you to write the 
current program to the Prophet ’08 at the location you specify. The Write button 
duplicates the action of selecting ‘Write’ from the Editor’s Edit menu. 
The Layer B (Layer A when active in Layer B) button brings up the Layer B (or 
Layer A) Settings window. 
The Sequen (Sequencer) button opens the sequencer control window A or B 
corresponding to the Layer editor window currently active. Full control of all 4 
sequencers is accomplished from this window. 
The Global button duplicates the action of selecting ‘Global Settings’ from the MIDI 
menu.
