Prophet ’08 Factory Program Banks

 

The downloadable “Factory” file below contains all of the factory program banks for the Prophet ’08 keyboard and desktop module. it also includes the installation instructions given below. The program data is in a MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) file that can be loaded into the Prophet ’08 via MIDI using a MIDI utility or other application capable of opening and transmitting SysEx files. The simplest method may be to use a shareware MIDI utility such as SysEx Librarian (Mac OS) or MIDI-OX (Windows).

These can be downloaded from:

http://www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/

http://www.midiox.com/

You will also need a MIDI interface to connect your computer to the Prophet ’08.

There is nothing you need to do to prepare the Prophet ’08 to receive the programs. Once the transfer begins, the programs will automatically be written to the Prophet ’08’s memory.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE

Be aware that loading programs overwrites any programs that are currently in memory. If you have programs you want to keep, be sure to save them to a SysEx file first. Refer to the manual for more information about initiating a SysEx dump from the Prophet ’08’s front panel controls.
