Re: [prophet2000] Re: Prophet 2000 MIDI - AAAahhhhhahahahh! Help me set this up correctly

<<Thanks.  I could swear I set it to mode 3A but it wasn't working 

properly.  Oddly, too, although I had the switch in back set to THRU, 

it was still sending note and controller messages to the next synth 

down the line.  I guess I'll have to play with it more, but the more 

I work with my P2K the more I suspect it has an issue related to the 

Op ROM.>>

or it could be "digital" trouble of the other kind. I will stand corrected, 
if I'm wrong, and I haven't used my p2k in a while, but- I think you have to 
explicitly save any changes you make to a preset before selecting another, or 
everything (including the midi mode) reverts. could you be doing something like 
that maybe? 

it may seem counterintuitive to have this setting non-global like this, but 
these things were made when midi was young, and they thought you might use the 
thing in mode 3A some of the time and 3B some of the time, bi-timbral. I used 
to do this a lot, and have the 3A patch using a stack and dynamic allocation 
the fatten it up.

the switch on the back is weak hardware- I bridged mine with soldered wires 
to make it permanently through. but on the subject of it's midi output, the 
apreggiator is great fun with an analogue synth on the end of it.

duncan.
