Poly Mod Parameters - Sequential prophet 5 User Manual

You can control how much the source affects the destination by dialing in
a specific modulation amount with the
Use Poly Mod to create complex harmonic effects ranging from FM
(frequency modulation) to audio-rate filter modulation and beyond. Many
classic sounds on the original Prophet-5 were created through clever use
of Poly Mod.
