    INTRODUCTION Arturia would like to thank you for purchasing our synthesizer model: the Prophet V. We are confident it will prove to be an extremely valuable addition to your music production studio. If you’ve purchased our products before, you know we pride ourselves in faithfully recreating the sound and feel of the original instruments, down to the smallest detail.

    2.2.3 Using Prophet V in plug-in mode Prophet V comes in VST, AU and AAX plug-in formats for use in all major DAW software such as Cubase, Logic, Pro Tools and so on. You can load it as a plug-in instrument and its interface and settings work the same way as in standalone mode, with a couple of differences.

    Let’s look at them in detail. The first seven of these options can be found by clicking on the Prophet V section at the very top left hand corner of the instrument window.

    3.2.6 Resize window options The Prophet V window can be resized from 60% to 200% of its original size without any visual artifacts. On a smaller screen such as a laptop you might want to reduce the interface size so it doesn’t dominate the display. On a larger screen or a second monitor you can increase the size to get a better view of the controls.
