On page 8 of the 1.3 addendum it says "download the alternative tunings from the Prophet 12 Support section of the DSI website". Can somebody please point me to the appropriate page?

You could try the one here http://dsiforum.com/download/file.php?id=1551 worked with the beta so probably fine for the release version.

Also make sure to set some delay between sysex messages in whatever tool you are using to send the file.

Nice support site debugging, Howard Scarr! I would suggest asking DSI support to verify and fix that potential omission.

Im fairly certain that it's the Prophet 6 support site that has them... and that DSI once said to download them from there.

Thanks Bob. The .syx file doesn't come with any instructions - do I simply fire the data at my Pro12 just like an OS update?

Hi Howard!

Nice to see a Facebook friend here

Yes, as far as I remember (it's five months since I downloaded and installed the AltTunings1-16_17May2015.syx file), you just send it like an OS update.

Before you get TOO excited though, the various tuning options are sadly a global setting, rather than saved with each program, so you have to select the appropriate tuning by hand each time you want to revisit a particular non-equal-tempered program

So I'm running 1.2.26 beta and was wondering since the audio out mod source is still not working in 1.3 is there any reason I should upgrade?  Anything besides the audio out mod working in 1.3 that wasn't in 1.2.26?

Thanks!

Also the tunings file is made up of multiple sysex messages and the P12 needs a time gap between each message being sent so it is important to set this up with whatever sysex sender you are using.

I went ahead and did the 1.3 upgrade anyway and loaded the 40 new FM voices...Fun

On my PC I used MIDIOX and set its Low Level Output Buffers (Sysex View, Configure) to Num = 1024 ad Size =1024, in line with DSI's OS recommendation. I then set both Delay Between Buffers and Delay after F7 to 250 Milliseconds.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the catch, we've updated the support pages for Prophet 12 Keyboard & Module, as well as the Prophet-6 Keyboard & Desktop with the alternate tunings files under the "Download Sound Banks" links:

Is the audio mod source in the mod matrix working now?

Ugh. This bug snuck back in, thanks for letting us know. We've fixed it again and we'll post a new beta shortly after internal testing.

I came across this brief video demonstration of the Prophet 12's FM in use.
