The Tune Button - Sequential prophet 5 User Manual

The Tune Button

The button runs an auto-calibration procedure on the Prophet-5,
tune
tuning its oscillators, filters, and other components. Use this calibration
procedure as needed over the first few days of use. The Prophet-5 learns
the range of temperatures at your location and will keep itself in tune
over this range.
Later, if you use the Prophet-5 in a different environment that is measur-
ably warmer or cooler (on stage, in an air-conditioned studio, and so on)
run the calibration procedure again.
Please be aware that it's possible for the Prophet-5's oscillators and filter
to be in tune with themselves but for the synthesizer to not be tuned to
concert pitch. Master tuning of the synth is controlled by the
knob. See page 42 for details.
