Using the Main Display

The most frequently used controls on the Prophet X are on its front
panel. But there are many additional controls (as well as numeric display
of values) visible in its main display.
For example, adjusting a knob or switch in the Mixer section reveals
the instrument level and oscillator level parameters in the display. The
display also reveals additional parameters not found on the front panel
such as panning. You can select and edit these additional parameters
using the four Soft Knobs and Soft Keys located above and below the
display.
The Soft Knobs are detented encoders that are useful for dialing in values
with precision. The Soft Keys select between various menu tabs.
