Common Sequential Prophet-5 Questions
How do I send and receive MIDI clock sync to the Sequential Prophet-5 (2020) to synchronize it with my DAW or other MIDI devices?
Navigate to the Global Parameters menu and set the MIDI Clock parameter to 'Internal' for the Prophet-5 to be the master clock, or 'External' to sync to an incoming MIDI clock signal. Ensure your DAW or other device is configured to transmit MIDI clock on the same MIDI channel as the Prophet-5's receive channel.
How do I save a preset sound I've created on my Prophet-5 (2020)?
Press the 'Write' button, select the memory location (bank and number) using the Bank and Program buttons, and then press 'Write' again to confirm the save; the sound will be stored in the selected location.
The tuning of my Prophet-5 (2020) seems off. What can I do?
Run the autotune procedure by holding the 'Tune' button for a few seconds; this will automatically recalibrate the oscillators and improve tuning stability. Recalibration is best done after the instrument has warmed up for at least 30 minutes.
What is the 'Vintage Knob' on the Prophet-5 (2020) and how does it affect the sound?
The 'Vintage Knob' simulates the component variations found in vintage Prophet-5s, introducing subtle differences in tuning and waveshape across the voices, providing a more organic and less predictable sound. Turning it up increases the effect.
How do I transpose the keyboard on the Prophet-5 (2020) to play in a different key?
While there isn't a dedicated transpose function, you can achieve transposition by adjusting the 'Global Tune' parameter found in the Global Parameters menu. Note that this will affect the tuning of all presets.
