When set to , changes are relative to the stored setting. In Rela-
relative
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.
For example, the Resonance parameter has a value range of 0 to 255.
Let's say the physical position of the Resonance pot is the equivalent of
a value of 100. If you switch to a program that has a stored Resonance
setting of 63 and turn the pot all the way up, it will only go to 90. To get
to the maximum value of 255, you first have to turn down until the value is
at the other extreme and the pot is at the limit of its travel (in this case, 0
and fully counter-clockwise, respectively).
In Passthru mode, turning the pot has no effect until after the edited
value equals the preset value (that is, until the edited value "passes
through" the stored value).
Jump mode uses an absolute value based upon the position of the pot
when edited: turn a pot and the value jumps immediately from the stored
value to the edited value.

built-in tunings. Set to 1. , the tuning is standard, chro-
equal temperment
matic tuning. Choosing 2 through 16 selects an alternative, non-chromatic,
non-Western scale that can be used to emulate ethnic instruments or in other
creative ways. See "Appendix C: Alternative Tunings" on page 132 for a
description of each tuning. Additional tunings can be imported as a SysEx
message.
The Prophet X display has a built-in screen
20 . Screen Saver: On, Off—
saver that puts it to sleep when not in use. This features is designed to
prolong the life of the display and we recommend using it. If, however,
you want to disable this feature you can do so by setting it to Off.
