Prophet-5/Prophet-10 / Re: Documentation Needs Consolidating
« Last post by gus on Today at 12:04:33 PM »
I love you guys, and I love my P10 to bits, but the amount of PDF's and forum posts that I have to search through for functions that are now in the operating system is unpleasant. Any chance you could consolidate all of the new functions into the manuals?

Thanks!

Thanks for bringing this up - yes, this is on our to-do list and we hope to have the new features rolled into the manual/addenda soon.

Recently I updated my P 10 to FW 2.0.4, and all the factory presets velocity/AT values was 000.
As they can't be modified as write protected, i found a workaround correcting the velocity/AT to 127 (where activated),  storing them to user locations and with SoundTower editor save as Sysex files, then finally reload them to their original factory location.
For someone who had the same issue I attached the P10 Factory presets version 2.0.4

Hi, I was curious how you edited and replaced all of the factory presets. Did you change each preset's AT and Vel values one at a time on the instrument, or within SoundTower? (and if done on ST, how/where?)

My problem with the AT/Vel on the factory presets is the AT is way too strong at 127 to be usable for me and I wish i could change all the AT->filter values to 10 and AT->LFO values to ~20. Or if not, just turn AT response off altogether.

If there was a way to batch all of those edits somehow it'd be great. Thx for any tips

OB-6 / Re: Silent hissing from OB-6 panel

My guess is it’s the power supply.  Next time I have my OB-6 module on I’ll put my ear up to it and see if I hear the same thing.

Pro 3 / Re: ROTTING rubber nobs!!!
« Last post by Zonbizoku on Today at 07:47:39 AM »
while I acknowledge that "environment" plats a part, the Sticky Nob issue has been a NIGHTMARE for Artirura.
I just scrubbed my minibrute nobs down in DNAT (outside of course) and they came perfectly clean.
I'll just have to find nice non coated nobs to order.

Just to chip in.
This is an industry wide problem.
The type of 'soft touch' or 'rubberized' plastics used on a lot of knobs these days (as well in teh unit bodies of consumer electronics like cameras and remote controls) has a really short shelf life before it starts to break down and often become sticky and unpleasant.
I can confirm for instance that Arturia suffers with it as i recently had to source a complete set of knobs and slider caps for my MatrixBrute for this very reason. Luckily Arturia were good enough to supply these free based on the amount of products i had registered with them.

I took delivery of a used Pro 3 SE today (i had to let my original go to help fund a new mac).
The pitch and mod wheels on this Pro 3 are also horribly sticky to the touch.
Bit more fiddly to clean the coating off on wheels.
Hopefully they come clean.
I've inquired with support if they can supply new wheels in the meanwhile.

Pro 3 / Re: MIDI CCs in the modulation matrix
« Last post by Lozmykeys on Today at 02:50:22 AM »
All those MIDI CC destinations in the modulation matrix ... would it be possible to use those for modulating other hardware - like say, the wet/dry of a reverb? They always seem to be greyed out on my Pro 3.

Hi did you find a solution for this? I'm trying to understand the MIDI CC in the Pro 3. I'm looking to send Midi-CV information to my eurorack so essentially extend the 4 CV outs. As you say they are all greyed out, which at first I thought the MIDI CC function may be turned off in the global settings. But even with it turned on and set to CC they are still greyed out. Also it starts off MIDI CC 1-4 then jumps in larger increments up to 119.. why is that? I'm still trying to understand how MIDI-CC works and I was hoping it would be as simple as any normal CV out i.e Mod source to Destination (MIDI 1,2,3,4...etc). But so far I've not found any information online detailing how these work

Prophet Rev2 / Re: Soundtower editor question
« Last post by pointexcited on Today at 12:11:10 AM »
Hi I have been using the editor for about a week. I have 2 questions:

Is the easiest way to save the current programme you are editing to the Rev2 Survival Race only by transmitting the whole bank? I cant see another option such as transmit programme.

I would like to move 60 programmes from U1 to spare slots in U4 (e.g. from U1. nos. 60-128 to U4 nos 60-128).
What is the easiest way to do this in one go/bulk transfer?

Thanks


A common workaround is to manually write/save the patch directly on the Rev2 itself after making edits. You can do this by pressing the "Write" button on the synth and selecting a destination.

In recent weeks I noticed one of my voicecards in P6 module sounded little off in some patches. I narrowed down the issue to poly mod not working on one of the cards. After patch init all seemed fine (all voices in tune) but as soon as I added poly mod amount to i.e. Freq 1, Shape, PW 1, it simply didn't do anything on just one voice, it still sounded like init. Neither repeated calibration nor the calibration table reset didn't help.  tap tap shots

So my thouht was that perhaps the card needs to be re-seated or maybe the contacts need cleaning. I suspected voice card 1 to be the culprit - it was the first channel of MPE voice channels, channel 2. I just sent the MIDI notes in MPE mode, one channel at a time. So I assumed it would be the voice card 1 (since MIDI channel 1 is reserved to MPE status/system messages in MPE mode).

And indeed, I checked all the cards and found some contacts on the voice card 1 were little dirty. Cleaned it, re-seated everything back into slots and voilá, all is sunshine again  8)

Leaving this info here in case someone finds it usefull in future  ;)
I think it might be a connection or installation problem.
Check connection->software installation, OS->Check poly mod. The last solution is to test on another device.

This is a way to preserve musical instruments and make a profit at the same time. It's really a very smart strategy.

General / Re: Drumtraks Repair - How To Get the Numeric Pad Switch Caps Off??
« Last post by Daniel23 on Yesterday at 11:39:11 PM »
Hi, I am trying to get the Drumtraks switch caps off from the numeric keypad switches. So far out of three attempts, I broke two of the "legs" on the "0" key and on the forward increment key; so I can't continue to pry. Does anyone have any tips? Should I just pry up the top cap buttom, sprunki clicker, then somehow that gets me better access to the bottom of the cap? Endgame is to remove/replace all 19 switches. I've safely removed the other 7 non-numeric keypad switch caps; they came off easy. But these numbered ones are really giving me grief! : )  Thanks, Karma
You could try gently rocking the switch caps back and forth instead of prying straight up to avoid breaking the legs. Removing the top cap first might give you better access to the base. Some people also suggest using a keycap puller or a thin plastic tool to reduce pressure on the legs. Patience and gentle force are key. Good luck!

If you have any reason to believe that Sequential’s P10 manual might be inaccurate, there is ample justification to address your concerns directly with support. Given P10’s switchable 5 voices limit in global settings, it is reasonable to assume that the manuals’ apparent consistency may not be an unlucky coincidence only.
