Unison
Using Chord Memory
Unison has another useful feature: chord memory. Instead of assigning
voices to a single note, hold down a chord on the keyboard and press the
unison button. The Prophet X memorizes the notes of the chord. Single notes
played on the keyboard will then trigger all notes of the stored chord, trans-
posing them as you play up or down the keyboard. Try using this feature to
create powerful chord stabs.
If you save a program that uses chord memory, the chord is saved with
the program.
To use chord memory:
1. Hold down a chord on the keyboard.
2. Press the unison button. The chord voicing is memorized. Play a few
notes to listen to the result.
3. If you save the program, the unison chord memory is saved with it.
To store a different chord in chord memory:
1. Disable unison by toggling off the unison button.
2. Hold down a different chord on the keyboard.
3. Press the unison button. The chord voicing is memorized. Play a few
notes to listen to the result.
To switch back to non-chord unison mode:
With the unison button on, turn Soft Knob 2 and choose the number
of voices you want to stack. When unison mode is set anything except
chord, chord memory is off.
