Title: Prophet 08 module - Voice 3,4 no light, skipping 2 notes...
Post by: John Shin on December 02, 2019, 12:05:00 AM
I bought great condition P08 desktop version about 3 months ago.
Never happened before.

But suddenly voice 3,4 show no lighting and 2 notes silent..

Bad sign? shall I just turn it off and on again?

First try a calibration.  The Prophet '08 manual describes the procedure on the last page.

Press and hold the Global button, and at the same time press the LFO 2 button.  The instrument will then calibrate the filters and oscillators.  It takes about three minutes.  When it's done, turn off the instrument and then turn it on again.  Hopefully this will fix the problem.

Hello, Aelssandro! I did not do anything, I just turned it off and turned it on again, and now, all 8 lights turn on right! I think it was just temporary bad contact problem inside? or possibly weak power supply problem? not sure! did you manage to fix it? I now have no problem. I know it was slightly strange.

It really can be due to a loose connection inside.  Sometimes it's only a matter of disconnecting and reconnecting the several ribbon cables.
