Chapter 1: Getting Started - Dave Smith Instruments Sequential PROPHET X User Manual

Chapter 1: Getting Started

The Prophet X is an 8-voice stereo/16-voice mono, bi-timbral, hybrid
digital/analog synthesizer that combines synthesis and sample playback.
It has oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs, and other classic synthesizer
components in addition to a 150 GB library of sampled instruments on its
internal SSD drive.
The SSD drive also provides 50 gigabytes of internal storage for importing
additional samples from sample library developers. Support for user-created
sample content will be added in a future software release. By combining
synthesis and sample playback, you can create an almost infinite variety of
unique sounds.
We've designed the Prophet X to be as easy to use as possible, with its
essential sound-shaping controls within easy reach on its front panel.
Additional functionality resides in its three displays.
This chapter of your user's guide provides a brief overview of such
essential tasks as how to choose, edit, and save sounds. Later chapters
explain each of the parameters on the Prophet X, how to program sounds,
how to make connections, and how to use the Globals menu to set up and
manage your synth's overall behavior.
