Dave Smith Instruments PROPHET 08 DESKTOP - Manual (Page 25)

Voice Volume: 0…127 – Sets the voice volume; usually used for matching
volumes between Programs.
Note: There is enough gain in the synth voice that with some settings,
some mild clipping distortion may be heard. If this happens, try lowering
the V

change the character, use the PARAM 2 knob, the V

switches.
Osc 1 Key: On, Off – Turns keyboard tracking on or off for Oscillator 1.
Osc 2 Key: On, Off – Turns keyboard tracking on or off for Oscillator 2.
Osc Slop: 0…5 – The amount of random oscillator frequency slop. The analog
oscillators in the Prophet '08 are very accurate, and will not drift. This works
great for accurate sounds, and allows precise de-tuning. Oscillator Slop allows
subtle amounts of frequency drift. For larger amounts, use a random LFO or
white noise mod.
Glide Mode: see table – Sets the way the oscillators respond to Glide settings.
Display Glide mode
FixRate The Glide rate is fixed. The time to
transition from one note to another varies
depending upon the interval between the
notes.
FixRate A The same, but Glide is only applied when
played legato; that is, when a new note is
hit while another note is still held. This
only applies in Unison mode.
FixTime The Glide time is fixed. The time to
transition from one note to another is the
same, regardless of the interval.
FixTime A The same, but Glide is only applied when
playing legato; that is, when a new note is
hit while another note is still held. This
only applies in Unison mode.
Pitch Wheel Range: 0…12 – Sets the bend range, in semitones, of the pitch
wheel. The setting is the range in the positive or negative direction. For
example, a setting of 7 lets you bend a note up or down by a fifth.
