Clock and channels

Official manual

Use GLB-8 [MIDI] for Global Channel, Local Control, Omni and Clock Source. For the Prophecy arpeggiator to follow incoming clock, choose EXTERNAL. Choose INTERNAL when the Prophecy is the clock source.

With Omni OFF, incoming channel messages need to match the Global Channel. Local OFF disconnects the keyboard from the internal sound engine while it continues sending MIDI OUT.

Patch and data transfer

Official manual

GLB-12 controls Program Change transmit and receive. GLB-13 and GLB-14 map banks and program numbers; specific numbers depend on those settings. GLB-15 controls SysEx transmit and receive.

Do not assume a downloaded bank or SysEx file will be compatible. Back up existing data before trying a transfer.
