On the value of the self-oscillation of the VCF resonance.

On the value of the self-oscillation of the VCF resonance.

Nice to meet you, all senior Prophet-5 owners.

I am not very good at English so if my sentences are wrong I apologize.

I own a Prophet-5 Rev.4.
My concern is that the resonance oscillation of the VCF may be too sensitive.
The VCO and noise outputs are set to 0, and it oscillates itself at about a knob value of 6.
I can't judge whether it is normal or not because I don't have the environment to test it with other units.
My other synthesizers oscillate at about 8-9.

How much does your Rev.4 oscillate?
I would appreciate it if you could tell me.
Thank you in advance.

Welcome to the forum!
My P5 also starts to self oscillate at 6, and I'd assume this is intended behavior.

Thank you for your kind response to my poor question.
I am relieved to know that my Rev.4 is not abnormal.

I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again.
Thank you so much.
