8.  EDITOR (Layer A and Layer B) 
A unique feature of the Prophet ’08 is the Layer concept. Each Program has two 
layers, A and B. Each layer can contain a completely different patch. The layers are 
typically used to create stacked and split Programs, though you can also switch 
quickly between the layers using the LAYER A/B button. (Please refer to the 
Prophet’08 User Guide for full information on this feature.) 
The Editor windows for Layer A or Layer B are brought forward by toggling the Layer 
A and Layer B buttons. When Layer A editing window is active the Layer button will 
have ‘Layer B’ as caption and in the converse when you are actively editing Layer B 
the Layer Button will have 'Layer A’ as caption. (See images below):
