We will deal with the combined Layer A/Layer B Mode in section 17.

For the Layer editing window you have access to every Prophet ’08 programming

parameters, including sequences. The Editor’s real-time controls allow you to tweak,

test and audition the sound of your presets right from your PC. Edits are automatically

sent.

Custom knob controls are used in the Editor window to display the functional

equivalent of the Prophet ’08 knobs. Adjusting any on-screen control transmits that

control change to the Prophet ’08, instantly updating the sound.

(See image below)

Note: In addition to the on-screen controls updating the Prophet ’08, adjusting the

Prophet ’08 controls will update the Editor display. This is because MIDI control

messages are transmitted bi-directionally, allowing you to use the Prophet ’08

controls AND the Editor parameter controls simultaneously!
