Arpeggiator

The Prophet 12 has a flexible and full-featured arpeggiator that can

be synced to the LFOs, delay, and external MIDI clock. Particularly

complex arpeggios can be created using split and stack with different

arpeggiator settings for layers A and B.

Arpeggiator

BPM: 30…250—

Sets the tempo for the arpeggiator in BPM (beats per

minute). Tap Tempo flashes on the beat. Also affects the LFO frequency

and delay time when Sync is turned on for an LFO or delay tap. When

syncing to an external MIDI clock source, the BPM control has no effect.

Clock Divide: See table—
