Prophet 12 Module Operation Manual

Global Settings

8 . MIDI Param Receive: Off, CC NRPN—

Sets the method by which

parameter changes are received via MIDI. As with transmission, NRPNs are the

preferred method.

9 . MIDI Control Enable: Off, On—

When On, the synth will respond to MIDI

controllers, including Pitch Wheel, Mod Wheel, Pedal, Breath, Volume, and

Expression.

10 . MIDI Sysex Enable: Off, On—

When On, the synth will respond to

received MIDI SysEx messages, and will transmit them, when prompted, to the

MIDI Out. See Sysex Messages on page 83

for details.

11 . MIDI Sysex Cable: None, MIDI Port, USB—

Sets the port, MIDI or

USB, by which System Exclusive data will be transmitted and received.

12 . MIDI Out Select: Off, MIDI, USB, MIDI+USB—

Sets the port by which

MIDI data will be transmitted.

13 . Local Control: Off, On—

When on (the default), the front panel controls

directly affect the Prophet 12. When off, the controls are transmitted via MIDI

but do not directly affect the “local” synth (that is, the Prophet 12). This is

primarily useful for avoiding MIDI data loops that can occur with some external

sequencers.

14 . Mono/Stereo: Stereo, Mono—

The Prophet 12 defaults to stereo opera-

tion. When set to Mono, this parameter defeats all pan settings and modulation,

effectively making each of the outputs a mono output.

15 . Pot Mode: Relative, Passthru, Jump—

The rotary controls on the

Prophet 12’s front panel are a mixture of “endless” rotary encoders and potenti-

ometers or “pots.” The pots are identifiable by their lined knobs and the fact that

they have about 300° of travel. There are three pot modes to determine how the

synth reacts when the programmable parameters are edited. (Master volume is

not programmable, so these modes don’t apply.)

When set to Relative, changes are relative to the stored setting. In Relative mode,

the full value range is not available until either the minimum or maximum value

and the respective lower or upper limit of the pot’s travel is reached.
