nal device, so that the external device can be heard. The Prophet-5's
keyboard does not affect the CV Out voltage when in CV Calibration
Mode.
6. Use the
switches to make negative or positive adjustments to the CV Out Low
Point, bringing the external device's pitch to "C". The range is from -99
to 99, adjusting the CV Out Low Point by roughly +/- 90 mV.
7. Press 2 to begin adjusting the CV Out High Point.

Adjusting the Prophet-5's CV Input Scaling:
The Prophet-5 is calibrated at the factory so that 0v received at the rear-
panel
jack will produce the same pitch as the lowest C note on the
cv in
instrument's keyboard, and 5v will produce the highest C note. Depend-
ing on the device you wish to use to control one voice of the Prophet-5
from the CV Input, you may need to make slight adjustments to these
voltage points in order for your controlling device to cause the Prophet-5
to produce the correct pitch. Some devices may not produce perfect Volt/
Oct voltage scaling, but the Prophet-5 can accommodate.
Adjusting CV Input scaling:
1. Connect the CV Out of the controlling device to the Prophet-5's rear-
panel

2. Connect the Gate Out of the controlling device to the Prophet-5's
