User Manual

Shape/PW: see table – Selects the analog waveshape as follows:

Display Waveshape

Off

No output

Sawtooth

Triangle

Saw-Tri

Sawtooth – Triangle mix

Pulse xx

Pulse Wave, with pulse width ranging from minimum

(0) to maximum (99). The pulse width will turn off at the

two extremes – this allows some interesting modulation

possibilities. A square wave will be at Pulse 50.

Glide: 0…127 – Sets the Oscillator Glide (portamento) rate. Glide can be set

independently for each oscillator. Low settings are faster.

Note: See “Glide Mode” in Miscellaneous Parameters on page 18 for

additional Glide settings.

Sync 2-> 1 – When enabled (lit), turns oscillator hard sync on. With sync on,

whenever oscillator 2 resets, it will force oscillator 1 to reset for the classic hard

sync sound.

Mix: 0...127 – Enables the outputs of Oscillators 1 and 2 to be mixed in varying

amounts. A setting of 0 is equivalent to 100% Oscillator 1 and 0% Oscillator 2.

A setting of 127 is just the opposite. A setting of 64 is essentially a 50-50 mix of

both oscillators.

Noise

Level: 0…127 – Controls the volume of white noise mixed into the filter.

Low-pass Filter

Each of the Prophet '08's voices utilizes an analog low-pass filter coupled with a

4-stage (plus delay) ADSR envelope generator.

4 Pole – Selects either 2- or 4-pole operation for the filter. (The filter is in 4-

pole mode when the 4

POLE switch is lit.)

Frequency: 0…164 – Sets the base filter cutoff frequency over more than 13

octaves.

Resonance: 0…127 – Sets the Resonance level of the filter. At high settings the

filter will self-oscillate in 4-pole mode. If the filter does not oscillate, make sure

the 4 P

OLE switch is on.
