Preset Basics

The Prophesy provides 127 unique, stored sounds called presets. Each Prophesy preset

remembers effect settings, mixer settings and MIDI information which can be recalled at any time.

The sound of a particular preset is dependent upon the preamp channel that is selected,

which effects are selected, and how each of those effects is configured. Each effect provides

numerous parameters that can be edited to change its characteristics, and therefore change the

sound of the preset.

Figure 5-1: Display shows preset number (122), preamp channel ("Mega Drive"), preset
title ("Hot Lead") and assigned effects (Chorus, Pitch Shift).

Presets are instantly recalled when accessed via the front panel PRESET control or a MIDI

footswitch. When a preset is selected, the Prophesy will display the preset number, channel, title,

and any additional effects that have been assigned to the preset which aren't automatically

included with every preset (HUSH, compression, wah, tremolo and reverb are automatically

included with every preset). Active effects are indicated via illuminated buttons at the right of the

display, as shown below:
