Prophet 12 Operation Manual

Global Settings

6 . 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.

7 . MIDI Control Enable: Off, On—

When On, the synth will respond to

MIDI controllers, including Pitch Wheel, Mod Wheel, Pedal, Breath,

Volume, and Expression.

8 . 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 82

for details.

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

Sets the port, MIDI or

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

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

Sets the port by which

MIDI data will be transmitted.

11 . Local Control: Off, On—

When on (the default), the keyboard and

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.

12 . Mono/Stereo: Stereo, Mono—

The Prophet 12 defaults to stereo

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

modulation, effectively making each of the outputs a mono output.

13 . Pot Mode: Relative, Passthru, Jump—

The rotary controls on the

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

potentiometers 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 param-

eters 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 Rela-

tive 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.
