NotesProphet 12 Desktop Module Specifications OSCILLATORS Five DSP-based oscillators per voice (including one sine wave sub oscillator) Four classic wave shapes (saw, square, triangle, sine) per oscillator Twelve selectable complex shapes per oscillator Three noise types per oscillator: white, pink, violet Analog VCAs Shape modulation Oscillator cross modulation: frequency modulation (FM) and amplitude modulation (AM) Hard sync on each of the four oscillators CHARACTER EFFECTS Five high-quality digital effects. Thicken the signal and add harmonics or completely destroy the signal pre-filter. Girth and Air are high and low shelf equalizers with harmonic excitement. Useful for thickening and/or adding air to the signal. Hack and Decimate are sample and bit rate reduction algorithms which can add subtle grit or completely destroy the signal. It’s harsh yet musical! Drive is a soft saturator for adding soft distortion and harmonic content to the signal FILTERS Famed Curtis 2- or 4-pole resonant analog low-pass filter (self oscillates in 4-pole mode) per voice 2-pole resonant analog high-pass filter per voice FEEDBACK AND DELAY Tuned feedback Four-tap syncable multi delay with feedback and amount per delay per voice ENVELOPES Four Delay + ADSR envelopes (LPF, VCA , and two Auxiliary envelopes) Auxiliary envelopes 3 and 4 freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations All envelopes can repeat/loop LFOS Four syncable LFO’s with phase offset and slew per LFO MODULATION 16 x 2 modulation matrix with 26 mod sources and 97 mod destinations Modulation assignment buttons enable quick and easy modulation routing ARPEGGIATOR Sophisticated programmable arpeggiator with up, down, up+down, random, assign modes Re-latching arpeggiator PROGRAMMABLE DISTORTION Independent programmable stereo analog distortion per layer. CONTROLS 12 knobs and 34 buttons enable deep and comprehensive editing with little to no menu diving. Crisp OLED display is easily visible in low light situations and from many angles.
