User Manual

The Arpeggiator (and Sequencer) can also sync to MIDI clock from an external
sequencer or other device. See “Clock” in Global Parameters on page 7 for
more information.
Note: If the arpeggiator does not seem to be working, check the G
LOBAL
settings to make sure Clock is set to Internal. If Clock is set to use an
external clock source, the Prophet '08 must be receiving MIDI clock
messages in order for the arpeggiator to run.
The tempo and note value are determined by the BPM and C
LOCK DIVIDE
Controls.
BPM: 30…250 – Sets the programmed tempo for the sequencer in BPM (beats
per minute).
Clock Divide: see table – Sets the note value for each sequence step relative to
the BPM.
