It is the correct behavior. The Prophet is not a stereo device. It has two 
channels of output and by default uses them that way, to distribute the 
voices. And the 11-O'clock position is the best place for the balance knob, 
because of the pot's resistance taper. At least, that's the way it is with 
the Prophet 2000 model (with the keyboard), which I have. Put it there, and 
use the mono output, and you'll have level sound output from all voices.
