...so I just snagged a Prophet 6 off of Reverb and it seems to be in good working order but I noticed something a little troubling - I can't write any patch changes - I hit WRITE, and I try to click a bank number to save to(0-4 - NOT 5-9) and the WRITE button remains blinking. It just doesn't seem to want to register a save. Am I missing something like a Global Auto Protect I'm suppose to turn off to save patches similar to how Nords are set up? This seems like a really odd problem to have and I didn't see anything in the manual that I thought might explain this outside of the "you can't overwrite banks 5-9" part. Anyone have any suggestions? OS version 1.3.1 if it matters.

...played around with it a bit more and here is what I'm seeing - I CAN write to patch 000-499 but I can't write to 500-999. Is that right? Seems to contradict what the manual says - I was thinking I could save to patches 000-004, 010-014, 020-024, etc, etc all the way up to 999 but it looks like I can write to a different range. Did I just misread the manual?

That's exactly how everything should work. The first 5 banks (0-4) are user banks that can be overwritten, the second 5 banks (5-9) are factory banks that are permanent. To be clear: banks 0-4 means presets 000-499, while banks 5-9 means presets 500-999.

Yes, thank you - I figured it out - was thinking bank was generic and not the name of actual button for the 100s place - ha. Came back here to delete my post and realized the forum was down. So embarrassed - thanks for the help! Carry on - dont mind me.
