17 Prophet 12 Module 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 oscillators.
Decimation: 0…127— Reduces the sample rate of the mixed output from the
oscillators.
Drive: 0…127— Emulates tape saturation.
