Effects - Sequential Prophet Rev 2 User Manual

Effects

The Prophet Rev2 allows you to add an effect to any sound. In stacked or split
sounds, each layer can have its own effect.
Adding a touch of reverb or delay can add a subtle (or not so subtle)
sense of ambience and depth. Other effects such as the chorus and phaser
are useful for adding more obvious tonal enhancement and are also
useful for emulating classic instruments such as string synthesizers.
While the effects themselves are digital, the main signal path of the
Prophet Rev2 is analog. The /

effect, ensuring an analog signal path when off.
Effects settings are saved individually with each program. Time-based
effects such as the delays can be synchronized to the arpeggiator, sequencer,
or MIDI clock to produce repeats that occur on the beat.
