Output Level

Output Level
« on: May 25, 2024, 02:36:48 AM »
Hello,
is there an output level switch in the globals of the Prophet 6 to reduce the level?

The background to this is that some (but not all) preset sounds override the input of the GFI Specular Tempus, which is connected directly to the stereo output of the Prophet.
I want to use the full control range of the Master Volume control and the GFI has no Input Level control. An output level switch like this would be a help.
Some vintage synths like Polysix or JX-8P have such a switch.

Alternatively, a -6 or -10db pad in the plug could be an option.

Any ideas for this?
Thanks in advance


addendum:
Calbritation was performed, but did not change the Problem

Have you tried using the program level knob?

The program level knob controls the volume individually for each patch. 
I would then have to re-save all patches with a level that is too “hot”.
The 500 factory ROM patches would be left out.
That can't be the solution.

I am looking for a limitation of the maximum level.
This is not a problem or shortcoming of the Prophet 6, but the problem lies in the lack of input gain control of the Specular Tempus.
That's why I'm thinking of patch cables with an integrated -10db pad.

Compressor / limiter pedal between the synth and reverb pedal?
