Тем временем, в конце декабря 2015 вышла OS 1.3!
New Features in OS 1.3
- Linear frequency modulation for classic DX-style FM
The Prophet 12 now provides a choice between its original exponential method of FM (frequency modulation), and linear FM, which is the type found on the classic Yamaha DX-series of synthesizers. Exponential FM is selected by default. To choose linear FM, you’ll need to use the menus in the Prophet 12 display.
- Assignable voice-stacking in Unison mode
The Prophet 12 now allows selectable voice-stacking in Unison mode. When unison is on, the Prophet 12 functions like a monophonic synthesizer in that you can only play 1 note at a time. However, that one note can be powered by up to 12 voices, depending on how many you choose to stack. With up to 48 oscillators powering a single note (12 voices x 4 oscillators per voice), you can create some very dense, speaker-rattling sounds.
Unison gives you control over not only how many voices to stack, but also the amount of detuning between the oscillators, and what note gets priority if you happen to play more than one note on the keyboard. (This is called the key assign mode or note priority. See “Key Assign Modes” in your manual for details.)
In many cases, stacking all 12 voices may be overkill and can produce sounds that are simply overpowering. In practical use, you may choose to stack fewer voices. To create a thick synth bass, for example, trying setting unison to 3 voices and setting detune to a value of 5 or so.
- MIDI note output for the arpeggiator
The Prophet 12’s Arpeggiator now outputs MIDI note numbers. Any notes that you hold on the Prophet 12 keyboard will be arpeggiated according to the current settings of the Arpeggiator and output over MIDI as MIDI notes. You can use this feature to drive other MIDI-equipped devices such as synthesizers and drum machines. To access this feature, use the midi arp notes setting in the global menu.
- New modulation destinations: Slop, Osc All Shape, All Delays
The Prophet 12 has several new modulation destinations. These include:- Slop (“osc 1 slop, osc 2 slop, osc 3 slop, osc 4 slop, osc all slop”)
- Osc All Shape (“osc all shape mod”)
- All Delays (“delay all time”)
- Slop (“osc 1 slop, osc 2 slop, osc 3 slop, osc 4 slop, osc all slop”)
- Disable screen saver option for OLED display
The Prophet 12 OLED display has a built in screen saver that puts it to sleep when not in use. This feature is designed to prolong the life of the display and we recommend using it. If, however, you want to disable this feature, you can now do so.
- Soft knobs allow Playlist list and set selection
When using Playlists to organize presets, soft knobs 3 and 4 can now be used to select Playlist 1-4 and the Set 1-10, respectively.
- Support for alternate tunings
By default, the Prophet 12 is set to standard, equal-temperament, chromatic west- ern tuning. Additionally, it now supports up to 16 additional alternative tunings, which you can access using the alt tuning scale setting in the global menu.
