Delay

The Prophet 12 has a stereo, four-tap digital delay per voice. It can be

used for simple delays or, in conjunction with modulation and short

delay times, flanging and chorus effects. Simple reverbs can be built

using different delay times and settings on the level and feedback of all

four delays. The delay time can be synced to the arpeggiator and various

modulation sources can be routed to delay panning.

The outputs of the delay are mixed back in with the synth’s left and

right channels, so the primary audio path from the filters forward is still

entirely analog.

Time: 0...255

—Sets the delay time for the selected tap, from a minimum

of 0.9556 milliseconds and a maximum of 1 second. For a complete list

of the available delay times, see Delay Times on page 52.

Sync: Off, On

—Sets the delay time to a subdivision or multiple of the

BPM setting. This allows the delay to be synced to the arpeggiator and

MIDI clock. The sync settings are all based upon one beat equals one

quarter note.

When Sync is on, Delay Time displays the following values.
