Prophet 6: Great sound with minor drawback

[javartin]

Just got my p6 for about a week and still learning it. THICK and FAT SOUND ! What an analog magic !

The only thing that I feel needs to be changed is the patch selection, specially when jumping from like 99 to 100 or 109 to 110. Need to use both hands to hit several buttons before reach the sound that I want. Other than that everything is cool.

Very quickly did a short track using P6. https://youtu.be/p0aNgj-sQ9I

You can change one patch up or down by using the BANK and TENS buttons together. Click and hold BANK and then click TENS and it moves up one patch. And vice versa to go down a patch. Definitely saves a lot of clicking to jump from 99 to 100.

And cool sounds you made!

Anyone got a workaround for pressing HOLD when you've got a nice arpeggio going using two hands? At the moment I bend down and press it with my nose  OK when alone in the studio.. doesn't look so great on stage!

What about pressing hold before playing the arpeggio?

Problem with that is that you have to know exactly what you are going to come up with before you press the keys.. and I more often than not use the assign arp mode as well, so when I get something that is interesting or fits right I have to press Hold at that point. Not a major thing, just wondering if there was a workaround.. In fact just typing this I wonder if using the sustain pedal when arp is on replicates the Hold button? Or just increases the sustain / release.. I will try that later!

Is there not an external MIDI command for the hold button? If so,you could program it to a footswitch.

.....Oh I don't know, get a cape on and you can do most things including eating a curry and no one will bat an eye lid!
