0 . Local Control: Off, On—
front panel controls directly affect the Prophet-6. When off, the controls
are transmitted via MIDI but do not directly affect the "local" synth (that
is, the Prophet-6). This is primarily useful for avoiding MIDI data loops
that can occur with some external sequencers.
1 . Seq Jack: NOR, Tri, Gat, T-g (Normal, Trigger, Gate, T-G)—

For best results when triggering the sequencer with an audio signal, use a loud
signal with a sharp attack/decay and little or no sustain.
2 . Pot Mode: Rel, Pas, Jup (Relative, Passthru, Jump)—
on the front panel are a mixture of "endless" rotary encoders and potenti-
ometers or "pots." The pots are identifiable by their lined knobs and the
fact that they have about 300° of travel. There are three pot modes to deter-
mine how the synth reacts when the programmable parameters are edited.
(Master volume is not programmable, so these modes don't apply.)
In Relative mode, changes are relative to the stored setting. In Relative mode, the
full value range is not available until either the minimum or maximum value and
the respective lower or upper limit of the pot's travel is reached. For example,
say the physical position of the resonance pot is the equivalent to a
