Editing Programs

Because the majority of the sound-shaping controls of the Prophet Rev2
appear on its front panel, editing an existing program is simple: just turn a
knob and listen to its effect. Keep turning knobs and pressing buttons. If you
like what you've created, save the program. (See "Saving a Program" on
page 4.)
The rotary controls on the front panel are a mixture of "endless" rotary encoders
(which have no position indicator) and potentiometers or "pots," which have a position
indicator and a finite travel range from left to right. You can choose between three
different modes that determine how the synth reacts when you edit its parameters with
a pot. For details, see "Pot Mode" on page 16.

Comparing an Edited Program to its Original State

When editing a program, it is often useful to compare its edited state
to its original state to evaluate your edits. Alternatively, before saving

a program to a new location you may want to check the program in the
target location before you overwrite it.

It's also useful to be able to check the value of a parameter for reference.

there is a way to do this without changing the value:

Creating a Program from Scratch

An existing program can be very useful as a jumping off point for new
sounds. But it's also useful (and educational) to create a new sound from
scratch. The Prophet Rev2 makes this easy by providing a "basic preset"
that you can quickly recall at any time. This preset is very simple, with a
single oscillator as its basis.
To recall the basic preset:
