17 Prophet 12 Operation Manual Character
Character
The Character controls affect the sonic character of the mixed output
of the oscillators. The effect may or may not be subtle and may be
dependent upon the frequency and harmonic content of the audio being
processed. For example, Girth boosts and enhances low frequencies, so
the effect upon high frequency content is minimal.
Girth: 0…127— A low shelf filter to boost low frequencies, with some
extra harmonic modification at higher settings.
Air: 0…127— A high shelf filter to boost high frequencies, with some
extra harmonic modification at higher settings.
Hack: 0…127— Reduces the bit depth of the mixed output from the oscil-
lators.
Decimation: 0…127— Reduces the sample rate of the mixed output from
the oscillators.
Drive: 0…127— Emulates tape saturation.
