6 Getting StartedDave Smith InstrumentsWorking with Stacked or Split ProgramsThe Prophet Rev2 is bi-timbral, meaning that it can produce twodifferent sounds/programs at the same time, either by stacking them, orby allowing you to split the keyboard and assign one sound to the uppersection of the keyboard and a different sound to the lower section of thekeyboard.The two layers are referred to as Layer A and Layer B. By default, LayerA is always active when you recall a program. If either the split a | bbutton or the stack a +b button is lit, then Layer B is also active.Each Layer can have different Effect, Unison, Arpeggiator, andSequencer settings. This allows for some very interesting combinationsof sounds.As you scroll through various factory programs, you can tell which arestacked and which are split. On stacked sounds, the stack a +b button islit. On split sounds, the split a | b button is lit.All factory programs have a “B” layer, even if that layer isn’t currently enabled.To hear Layer B in isolation, press the edit layer b button and disable stack or split (ifactive) by turning off the stack a+b btutton or split a|b button. Pressing edit layer b asecond time enables Layer A again.PROGRAMBANK Edit Layer BStack A+BSplit A | BCompareWriteGlobalButton is lit whensplit is activeButton is lit whenstack is activePress to enableLayer B editingSplit and Stack buttons
