If any of you started experiencing these problems after updating to 1.8, that’s most likely the issue. It wrecked my unit till I downgraded. What it caused was:

1. Pitch problems nonstop, especially after warming up.

2. Hissy noise on notes 5 and 6, again, usually  after warming up.

3. Calibration hanging on 43, also after warming up. It would pass calibration if the unit was cool.

The fix is to email support and get a copy of 1.74 and reinstall it. Why a new OS would break certain units is beyond my knowledge but it clearly is happening. Hopefully they can make a newer update that works universally.

That is, if it even needs many updates at this point… Cheers.

Some thoughts,

• Unless I am missing something the modulation paddle is normally only effective in one direction. When the modulation paddle is pulled downward it proportionally engages modulation. It doesn't seem to have a function when pulled up.
  
  Can we give it a purpose? Perhaps in Page 2, give settings for what get changed and range. Options like filter modulation, filter amount, OSC2 pitch, macros?
  
  I would like the option for non-quantized oscillator pitch settings, combined with allowing for specific tuning chances to be save with the patch. When using cross modulation, the pitch can drift considerably. Essentially allowing for a patch that sounds great, but is hopelessly out of tune to be made usable.
  
  Split and Double modes could benefit from allowing a different base tuning for the constituent patches.
  
  I have one problem when I play... I run into the Transpose Up button causing a jarring change in pitch. A way to optionally lock them, or a mode requiring two click to engage the change would be helpful. Otherwise, I'm going to have to become a better player
  
  I love my OBX8!

Is there a way to copy the "A" part of a preset onto the "A" part of another preset? I can't figure it out!  Thanks in advance!

Hello, all -
Is this 2.0.4 OS a beta or an official release?  On Sequential's support area for the Prophet 5/10 there is only listed 2.0.1, nothing more recent.  Any clarifications much appreciated, as I am hesitant to update from 2.0.1.
Thank you.

As a new owner, THIS. A bit confused. Mine shipped with 2.0.0, so I went to the Sequential download page and updated to 2.0.1 (no change log found???), then I find out there's also a 2.0.4, but can't even find the download for it...

Hi Josh,

The left encoder from the screen changes the Bank (OB-X8, OB-8, etc.). The right encoder from the screen changes the Group (each group contains 8 presets). Once you've selected your Bank and Group using the encoders, press the Programmer buttons 1-8 to select a preset. The A/B/C/D letters are present on the legacy banks, as that was how the vintage presets were originally categorized. You can find more info on page 6 in the manual.

To reset all patches to their factory state, navigate to the 'Reset Prgm To Factory' Global and select ALL.
