Common Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Questions
How do I connect my Prophet-5 to my DAW using MIDI?
Connect a MIDI cable from your MIDI interface output to the Prophet-5's MIDI In port, and the Prophet-5's MIDI Out port to your MIDI interface input. Configure your DAW to recognize the Prophet-5 on the correct MIDI channel.
How do I save my custom sounds (patches) on the Prophet-5?
Press the "Write" button, then select the memory location (patch number) where you want to save the sound using the numeric keypad; finally, press "Write" again to confirm.
What do the Oscillator Sync and Poly Mod sections do on the Prophet-5, and how are they used?
Oscillator Sync hard-syncs Oscillator B to Oscillator A creating bright, aggressive timbres, while Poly Mod uses the Filter Envelope and Oscillator B to modulate Oscillator A and the filter cutoff for complex, dynamic sounds.
My Prophet-5 is making strange noises, or the pitch is unstable. What should I check?
Ensure the synthesizer has warmed up for at least 30 minutes, as the analog circuitry needs to stabilize; if the problem persists, consider calibrating the oscillators or contacting a qualified technician.
How do I transpose the Prophet-5's keyboard?
The original Prophet-5 does not have a dedicated transpose function; you would need to transpose using an external MIDI controller or within your DAW.
