Understanding Sequencer Trigger Modes

[XJuarezz]

Hello,

I'm programming a sound in which I need the sequencer to restart every time I hit a note. "Seq Trigger" is set to Normal, where according to the manual, "sequencer resets to step one each time a new note is played", but I obtain a different result. The sequencer is restarted only when voice 1 is engaged. So if I hit a note 8 times, the sequence is free running as as I see the prophet goes through voices 2 to 8 in the backlit menu, and restarted at voice 1.
When I'm playing in Unison the sequencer restarts every time I hit a note as all voices are in action.

Is this normal behaviour or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks for your help

It is normal, when not in unison, that the synth will cycle through all the voices. What happens if you hit (and release) the same note 8 times is this:
- first hit triggers voice one from step one of the sequence
- second hit triggers voice two from step one of the sequence
- etc.

Now, if you trigger (and hold) more notes simultaneously, you will trigger multiple voices at the same time, starting from step one, and you get a polyphonic sequence.
