Feature Request: Gated Sequencer mode. Make the sequencer useful!!!

As it stands the sequencer just runs on midi start or button press. Wouldn't it be a bit more useful to have the sequencer run when you hold down a key like with the gated mode on the Pro-3 and Rev2?

The sequencer is a great feature that I just don't get to use right now as there's no way to control it playing in a useful manner.

Surely this can't be too hard to implement? It's a glaring omission on this synth.

I use it all the time. And totally disagree about it being somehow a “glaring” omission. How did nobody spot it wasn’t there before?! Lol

Fair enough to ask for a feature request but can’t call it a glaring omission surely. Also it probably isn’t that easy to implement tbh on the P6 architecture. But you never know..

Yes, adding a gated mode for the sequencer, like on the Pro-3 and Rev2, would make the Prophet-6 more useful and flexible. It seems like a simple firmware update could add this feature, and it would give users more control. You could suggest this to Sequential for a future update!

If it’s possible, that’s cool. But it would also be more useful to have the sequencer run through the last step while changing presets. As it is, the next sequence with the new patch starts suddenly, which breaks the timing. So an option for the sequence to finish the last step or to continue playing without jumping back to the first step would be extremely helpful.

Ok, how did this thread suddenly get bumped up, but it doesn't matter. I agree with what hoodoo-ray said, I'm currently using it as well without any problems, and the feature you're talking about isn't considered a bug?
