7 . Stereo/Mono: Ste, Mon (Stereo, Mono)—
stereo operation. When set to Mono, this parameter defeats all pan settings
and modulation, effectively making each of the outputs a mono output.
8 . Pgm Dump: Prg, Ten, Ban, usr, All (Program, Tens, Bank, User
Transmits the current program, ten programs from the
Banks, All)—
currently selected bank and tens location, the current bank, all user
banks (0-4), or all banks (both user and factory) in SysEx format via the
selected MIDI port. (See: "MIDI Sysex.") Dumped programs will load
back into the same bank and program location in memory when received by
the Prophet-6 via MIDI.

Oscillators

Oscillators provide the raw building blocks of the Prophet-6's sound by
producing waveforms, each of which has its own inherent sound charac-
ter based on its harmonic content. The Prophet-6 has two oscillators, plus
a sub oscillator and a noise generator per voice. Level controls for each
of these are located in the Mixer section.
Each oscillator is capable of generating triangle, sawtooth, and variable-
width pulse waves. These waveshapes are continuously variable and
smoothly transition from one shape to the next as you turn the
knob. This provides a variety of "in-between" waveshapes.
The oscillators on the Prophet-6 are extremely stable. To emulate the random
pitch drift and oscillator instability of vintage instruments, use the
dial in as little or as much drift as you like.
