4.2 Editing a program
This section explains the procedure for editing a program.
*
In these explanations
WI~
are modifying parameter values using only the knobs, but for making fine
changes it is more efficient to use the VALUE keys.
•Initializing a
program
The programs of the Prophecy consist of a complex combination of settings. In order to help you
understand the procedure for creating a program, we will initialize a program to the simplest possible
settings as follows.
III
Press the PERFORMANCE/EDIT Select key to enter Edit mode (the lower LED will
blink).
[gJ
Press the COMMON key to enter the Common section. Use the PAGE keys to move to
page CMN-10 [Initialize Program].
~
Press the ENTER key. You will be asked <Are you sure?> Press the ENTER key once
again. The program will be initialized, and the display will indicate <COMPLETED>.
Now play the keyboard. You will hear a simply sawtooth wave.
• Oscillator settings
The oscillator is the section that creates the "waveform", which is the most basic element of the sound.
The Prophecy is able to produce a wide variety of waveforms, but in this example we will use the most
basic Std.OSC in the following explanation of the sound-editing procedure.
III
Press the OSC key to enter the OSC section. Use the PAGE keys to move to page OSC-
cmn1 [Oscillator Set].
Make sure that the display indicates "SETOl:Std.OSC+Std.OSC". This means that Std.OSC is
assigned to both OSCl and OSC2.
[gJ
Use the PAGE keys to move to page OSC-cmn7 [OSC Menu]. Move the knob located
below the [STD1] display so that it reads [STD1] , and press the ENTER key. You will
move to page OSC:L-1 [Basic Pitch].
The four parameters shown in this page specify the pitch of OSCl. As you play the keyboard,
modify the parameters and notice how the pitch changes.
~
Use the PAGE keys to move to page OSC1-5 [STD WaveLevel]. Use knob 1located below
the "SAW" display, and change it to "PULSE". Play the keyboard and notice that the
waveform has been changed from sawtooth to pulse.
@J
Use the PAGE keys to move to page OSCl-6 [STD Wave Form]. While playing the
keyboard, rotate knob 3located at the lower right of the "LF02:Int+00" display. Notice
that the sound begins to "waver". This is because LF02 is being used to vary the width of
the pulse wave. For this example, set it to "Int+SO".
(§I
Now we will modify the setting of the LF02 that we heard in step
I!J .
Press the LFO
key to move to page LF0-1 [LFO Menu]. Rotate knob 2located under the [LF02] display,
so that it reads [LF02] , and press the ENTER key. Next use the PAGE keys to move to
page LF02-2 [Frequency]. Rotate knob 1 located under the "005(0.150[Hz])" display.
Notice that the frequency of the "wavering" changes. For this example, set it to
"031(0.800[Hz])".
