Calibrating the Prophet X
Resetting the Global Parameters
If you’re trying to track down a problem, it’s sometimes a good idea to
reset the Global parameters to their defaults. This is a quick way to make
sure that the Prophet X returns to its factory settings.
To reset all Global parameters to their default settings:
1. Press the global button.
2. Use the soft knob 1 to select reset globals, then press Soft Key 1
(reset now). Globals are reset. You can now can play the Prophet X
again.
Exporting Programs and Banks
You can use the dump current program, dump current bank, and dump
current all banks commands in the global menu to transmit the current
program, bank, or all banks in SysEx format via the selected MIDI port.
This allows you to save your programs so that you can share or archive
them. You will need a computer and software application such as SysEx
Librarian for Macintosh, or MIDIOX for Windows.
To export a program or bank as a SysEx le over USB:
1. Connect your synthesizer to a computer using a USB cable.
2. Open your MIDI librarian software (SysEx Librarian, etc.) and cong-
ure it to receive SysEx messages.
3. Press the global button on the Prophet X.
4. Use the soft knob 1 to select midi sysex cable, then use the Soft Knob
3 knob to choose usb.
5. Use the soft knob 1 to select dump current program, dump current
bank, or dump all banks, depending on which of these you would like
to do.
6. Press Soft Key 1 (dump now). The program or bank is exported
Dumped programs will load back into the same bank and program location in
memory when received by the Prophet X via MIDI.
