This sectton shows How to remove the Prophet's m ain assemblies, Not dJl o f the procedures given
h e re should be necessary at any one time* For mosï service situations you w ill o n ly needtcM eparaie
th e to p and boctom panel assemblies and arrange th em as shown in fig u re 7-0. Thjs c o n fig u ra tio n ,
discussed in paragraph 1-2, allows access to trim m ers on PCB 4, VOICE BOARD (fjgc/re T-7).

For m ore extensive service you may have to i S w in g o u t/, o r co m p le te ly rem ove PCB 4. Procedures
b e lo w show how to do either, also, How to rem ove the rem aining assemblies: PCB COMPUTER
BO ARD, PCB 2, LEFT and PCB 1 , RIGHT CO NTRO L PANELS, PCB 6, POWER SUPPLY BOARD (PSB),
and th e KEYBOARD (KBD).

G e ne ra lly ；each p ro ced u re gives diia $ ie m bly o r rem oval instructions only. It is assumed that re ­
p la ce m e n t procedures are just the reverse.

Sections 2-5 o f this manual assume that you are fa m ilia r w ith the Prophet's m echanical design as
co vered în this section.

1-1 PRECAUTIONS

O bserve (he f 〇J!c>wing precautions when w o rkin g on the P rophet:

• To pre ven t damage to the to p panel, keyboard* o r w o o d w o rk , use a carpetted o r sim ila rly-co ve re d
w o rk surface when opening the cabinet,
• Set S7Û1, p ow er sw itch, OFF, and check 5702, H 5/230V , on the back panel o f units 184 and above
b e fo re co nn e ctin g i 〇 pow er outtet.

• Never switch line volrage w ith instrum ent p o w e r on.

• T rim m ing and tu nin g must, o f course, be p e rfo rm e d w ith p o w e r on. So, avoid the pow er supply
prim a ry circu itry, w hich conducts lethal voltages,
• Switch power off before disconnecting or connecting any internal circuitry, or removing or in­
stalling PCBs.
• Do n ot bend o r strain th$ RGBs. O therw ise may cause tin y breaks fn the p rin te d c irc u it traces
w h ich w ill be eKrremeiy d iffic u lt to fin d .

• To replace soldered com ponents, switch p o w e r o ff, rem ove (he PCB co m p le te ly fro m th e in stru -
m e n 【¿nd desolder from both sides. Use a vacuum syringe 〇r DIP d e s û ld e re r D o n ’t overheat fhe
pads. WORK CAREFULLY.

• R em em ber that in service position, the to p panel assembly balances on its rear edges. D a n 't
upset this balance by pushing to o hard when trim m in g .

2-11 MICROCOMPUTER SYSTEM

It should be clear írom the above that operation of the Prophet's analog circu itry requires only some
CVs, GATE signals, and lo g ic signals fo r the s w itch « -

You d o n 't need a co m p u te r to sound the voices* In a previous synth generation the required lignais
m ight be provided by patch cords, m edianical s w itc h « , potem iom eiers, and a voltage-divider
keyboard. But such c o n tro l w ou ld not usually be programmable or polyphonic,, and that is why the
Prophet has a m icro co m p u te r syscem. refers to the com bination of electronic hardware and
com puter software, or, program ,

fig u re 2*6 iills o u ï the main elements of the m icrocom puter system and its in p u t and 0111put {I/O )
circuitry. If you are unfam iliar w ith mfcrocomputers you might find it helpful to focus on the DATA
BUS (D0). Physically, this is a set of eight parallel wires carrying digital signals between the Z-80 cen-
(rol processor unit (CPU)^ m em ory (PROM, RAM), and (1/0} devices.

Obviously, not Ail of the mfornnâtion Transferable between data-bussed circuits w ill be abte to be
com m unicated sim ultaneously. This would be like trying to hold a telephone conversation over a
party line w ith â dozen ocherj. C on trol signals from the MEM ADR, iN PORT, and OUT PORI
decoders allow ,rconversaTiQn^between the CPU and any oneolherdata-bussed device b yHin effecl,
in h ib itin g devices not i nv 〇|ved w ith the conversation. In short, ：
he d e c o d e r signals tell the MEM and
I/O devices when they ¿re supposed to place data on the bui, or when data is intended fo r them,

Let's see what takes place to sound a singie key, The CPU^ of course, runs everything according to
unalterable prograrn instructions contained in erasable/programmable read-only-m em ory (EPROM).
(The program is actually a continuous fil 〇〇p ,r+) The CPU places data and addresses on those busses,
and activâtes the -IOREQ and -WR signals. This produces CSÔ from the OUT PORT DCOO, w hich
latches the data into the keyboard, switch, and LED matrices+ matrix converts (d ig itiz « ) key
strokes into binary data. The address changes, JOREQ and, this tim e -RD are activated. This produces
-CSE fro m the IN PORT D C O D ^d rivin g m atrixdata representing the key held on to the bus. TheCPU
performs caicu lotions on the m atrix data to determ ine the actual position oí the key pressed. ït then
places the key num ber in to the SCRATCH PAD RAM by supplying an appropriate address and -MREQ
to the MEM ADR D CO D, and -WR.

T〇sound the n oie rhe key num ber is read from the SCR ATCHPAD and latched to th e d ig ita l-to analog
converter (DAC) w hen the O U T PORT DCOD issues CSC* VDACFan analog voltage corresponding to
the latched key num ber, is distrib u te d hy the CV DM UX to t in this case, KEY 1 CV. CV OM UX ad*
dresses are afso latched by command from the OUT PORT DCOD, Finally, the CATE signal is latched
o fi the bus, •

All of this activity is yet 3 m inu te port fon oí the w hole loop. O f course, ih e program must be constantly
read írom EPROM. In PRESET mode^ ïhe CPU also reads patch CV and S data fro m the NV PRCM
RAM. in M A N U A L m ode, the loop also includes a scan of the black switches and knobs. In either
mode, data output also operates the LEDs.

Although these operations are sequential, you perceive no delay betw een, fo r exnm ple, the key­
stroke and the note p roduced because of the speed at which the program is executed. The program
loops about 100 times each second in M ANUAL m ode, and about 140 times in PRESET. (This amounts
to about 350 to 475,000 DB operations per second,)

Paragraphs 2A2 through 2-15 describe output and input circuit functions in m ore detect.

The final c irc u itry lo be discussed a tthe fu n c tio n ^ EeveJ has only been b rie fly m entioned before. The
TUNE circu itry is ¿ negative feedback u$íng m u ltip le xin g and period rti^asiicement to m in i­
mize pitch differences between the osdjlators. It does this by issuing separate BIAS CVs íor each OSC
(5¢¢ 2-4). A t the DAC the BIASES have a full range oí about 10V, But ïhis is a tte n u a te d 100;1 to provide

The need fo r 3 TUNE circuit shoujd be clear by this tim e+As has been sho 於 n Hthere a『 e many sources

oscillator pitch, any can detune them, AdditionaJly, each OSC aïso has a V/O CT and a H] V/O CT

D uring th e TUNE ro u tin e j the co m p ute r initializes all S/Hs that aifect tuning {and defeats any external
CV), It has no c o n tro l over th e MTUN or P-BNO, so the^c must be centered and not movçd» The
com puter then stìts O S C 1A BIAS CV to 2V,and the OSC A INIT FREQ and KEY T CVs to cause a pitch
near 300 Hz, It then selects OSC TA's sawtooth output through the TUNE MU>Í. Ilf for some reason
an oscillator has failed, the T UNE ro u tin e cannot eiiecute.) C otinter 0 is program m ed to count 1 cycle.
Gating c o u n te r 1 .the REF CNT w ill be approxim ately 9000. In other words the period of one q^de at
300 H i is approxim ately equal to 9000 CPU d o ck cydei.

The CPU now sets all BIAS CVs to 〇 V#leaving the INIT FREQs and KEY CVs unchanged. Returning to
OSC 1A it again counts one cycle periods and compares it to the REF CNT. The period w ill almost
always be too lon g w ith 0 BIAS* It then increases the BIAS on^ step [03 mVl, and measures the period
again. The count-and-com pare process co n tio ue î until the oscillator count equals the REF CNT, at
which p oint the com puter saves the BIAS 1A value. This repeats for the nine rem aining oscillators,, so
thâteach has a BEAS CV in m em ory w hich matches its pitch to the others at 300 The tuning ro u tine
ignores badly m istuned oscillators* If BIAS increases 100 steps w iih o u t tuning the osciltaior, the CPU
resets It to 2V and goes on to the next oscillator«

Next, the co m p u te r obtains another set oí ten biases to match the oscillators dt 600 H zhby program ­
m ing co u n te r 0 to count tw o cycles, and raising the INIT FREQ and KEY CVs by IV . (Two cycles at
600 H z^h o ü ld takeexactly the sam etim e as one cycle at 300 Hz). The process continues at 1200 Hz for
fo u r cycles, and aT 2400 Hz fo r e ig h t cycles. W hen d o n e , the c o m p u te r h a i fo u r bias values fo r each
oscitlatof ai fo u r d iffe re n t frequencies (40 total).

Now, w hen playing the com puter determ ines the pitch each oscillator i$ to sound and co n tin ua lly
corrects by applying one o f the fo u r biases. It us«s the 300-Hi BIAS up to about 450 K z r w here the
600 Hz BIAS takes o v e r The 1200 Hz B [AS CV is used between about 900*1800 Hz, and 2400 Hz BIAS CV

3-19 SD212 CONTROL PANEL - * SWITCH AND LED MATRICES

The SWITCH and LED MATRICES are also divided across PCBs 1 and Z The keyboard connects to
PCB2 to share bus driver packages w ith the switches. The LED matrix indudes the elements of OS225
BANK/PROCRAM display, all 7-segment decoding done by software.

The program scans the keyboard fifst* Scanning pUces a bit across one coordinate of the switch
matrix, then checks the in te rce p tin g coordinates fo r its appearance, The resulting num ber uniquely
identifies a co m b in a tio n o f switch closures. For example, the CPU sends 00000001(1H) to U209/12
switch driver latches^ w ith CS8 from the OUT PORT DCOD. DX0 is now 1 ,DX1-7 are 0, This sets up
the lowest eight keys. Each key is located on a binary colum n, and d o sin g its switch adds the co rre ­
sponding bit w eig h t to the num ber driven on to the bus (read) by -CSE from the IN PORT DCOD,
Suppose DO is held, DY2 w o u ld be 1 ,resulting in 00000"100 (4H). If C O were also h e ld ,10000100 (132H)
w ould be read. 4
•i,

To scan the next eight Weys, DX1 is set and the DY columns âgïin read. The p ro e â ^ continues for
DK2-DX7, Note that three co n tro l switches are wired in the keyboard matrix. This is no problem . The
com puter ^ k n 〇w 5r, that any n u m b e r read fro m DX7 larger than 3T K, must include one oí these switch
ope rations ‘

The control switches are read in s im ila r fashion^ w ith -CSE from the IN PORT DCOD,, except 5112 EDIT
and S113 TUNE each d rive tw o columns. Separately clocked sections of the U204/5 BUS DRIVERS are
paralleled for hardware efficiency. The d rive r OUTs are tri-stated {high impedence) except w hen
th e ir corresponding DtS pins go lo w .

In the L tD m atrix, UZ13/14/15 cu rre n t sinks invert OXO-DX5 to eifeciiveJy ground the paths
through Q201-Q20Ö. Latched bits ¿re inverted at the -Q outputs of U20&/11, then again by the
transistor switches. To lig h t DS205 and D5204, for example, first CS8 w ould latch 1H, then CS9
(also from O U 丁 PORT D C O D } w ould latch 3H. To operate DS225』b ip latched by CS9 correspond
to the display segments re q uire d . For example^ to display BANK 2, CSß biches 10H (DX4 - 1 ) ,
then CS9 latches 5BH (01011011) to light segments a, b, d, er and g* (The LEDs must be cleared
to read the switches.)

Component designators include three items of informaticm:

COMPONENT CLASS
PCB or A5SEMHLY NUMBER
R4122
-COMPONENT NUMBER

COMPONENT CLASS Í4 symbolized by standard letters, fo r example, U for integrated circuit, RT

for lem pera tu re-se risiti ve resistor, and OS íor indicator.

PCB 〇f ASSEMBLY NUMBERS are:

1 RIGHT CONTROL PANEL none
2 LEFT CONTROL PANEL POWER SUPPLY BOARD [PSBl
3 COMPUTER BOARD 7 CHASSIS ASSEMBLY
A VOICE BOARD

COMPONENT NUMBERS are either sequenced according to their position on n PCB, or according
to the position of its designator (callout) on the pictorials ÍPA d o c u m e n t).

Cenerafly, the schematics (SD documents) group logether components electrically related to one
another, even (hough they may actually be located on different PCBs. For example, ihe POT MUX
circuitry is im plem enied across PCBs 1 and 2 but is drawn on ^ single sheet (SD211). In such cas«
you can rely on its designator \o indicate the PCB on which ä com ponent is located. You may then
easily fin d it fro m the pictorials.

PCB 4 com ponents arç designated somewhat d iffe re n tly from the resL This PCB hoJds íive essen-
tiatly identical, parallel circuits. So, paraMel passive components are given the same designator. For
exam ple, there are five R41225 — one per voice. Individual aaive com ponents are still individualEy
design a ted .

F〇f clarity, power supply decouplers ar6 not ide n tifie d on each voice pictorial. Instead tht;y wiil
be found on PA 410, w ith other (non*voice) PCB 4 components.

A note on our rendering of bus lines and continued signals: We bus lin e i together to prevent íong,
confusing parallel runs. For example, DATA BUS lines are drawn as a single lì ne, w ith 丨ndivÉdua丨lines
sym bolized DB04 D Ö 1.D B 2, . . w here ihe bus ' o r "fans-out" at a device. If there are no OB
(or A, ADDRESS BUS} sym bols the bus lines are assumed to connect according io the device pin
names,

Alrhough bussing wires reduces the number oí interrupted signals, some breaking ot lines on s
page or continuation of signals between pag&s cannor be avoided. At these points you w ill find
a symbol ^uch as:

Trim m ing and Tuning

4-0 GENERAL
>i
Prophet trim m in g and tu n in g is a sensitive procedure which as a rule should not be done more than
necessary. Prophets are carefully adjusted at the factory, where many trim m ers are sealed t。prevent
m i^ d iiis im e n t by vib ra tio n or accident You w ill rarely be able to make an audible im provem ent
upon th e « trim s 一 unless a m alfunction hai occured or a part has been replaced. If you do try to
achieve dll o f the (deal settings described below when no repairs have been invofved^ you may
succeed only in correcting íor the difference between our and yo u r DVMs o r room tem perature.

These procedures are ordered for a Prophet assumed to be 100% efectrically íunctronál but com ­
pletely untrim m ed. But this does noe mean you should completeJy re trim whenever som ething
doesn't sound right, Ra(her, fo r exampie, isolate "a m ning p ro b le m " to a specific voice (see para. 4-9)
and correct the errant o s c illa to r O f course you should fam iliarize yourself w ith the e n tire trim p ro ­
cedure before attem pting it on the P rophet M ake a udty ru n ", using the schematics and pictorídls
in Section 3.

A com plete retrim begins w ith the power supply, then scales the DAC and ADC on PCB 3, PCB 3 VCAs
are balanced fBAL), th ç LFO triängle symmetry (TRI SYM) checked, and the OSC A and B Master
Sum m er (M SUM) offset is trim m ed. PCB 4 is then installed, the a m p lifie r and filte r envelope gen-
er^tors (AMP and Fl LT ENV GEN) limed* VCA BALs and OSC B TRI SYMs set. Then the voices are iuned
— filters before oscillators— and the Prophet closed. This raises the oscillators to normal tem perature.
The Prophet is again opened fo r "h o ttu n in g " and the oscillators are fin e -tu n e d as quickly as possible.
Finally, the overall voice levels are matched. W hen using the Prophet w ith an externai sequence 。
an accessory trim m e r prevems detuning of VOICE 5, _

4-1 PREPARATION

You wilJ need a 4-1/2 digit DVM and ^ quality dc-triggered oscittoscoper prefer^bJy with- a 10X h 〇ri-
zontal am plifier section. As usual, dua 卜trace capability helps, A frequency co u n te r can be used
instead of a scope for tunings but this method is generally much slower i 〇 d o n 't recommend it.
The procedures include directions for trim m in g by ear alone w here this is possible. However, w hile
it is possible to tune the Prophet by ear alone we can't recommend that either. The Prophet has it i
ow n A-440 reference, w hich is ^aivated by holding S103. PROGRAM SELECT 1 and pressing ST CM,
PS2 stmullâneously.

NOTE. EACH PROCEDURE 0ELOW [S SRF-CONTAINED AND REQUIRES THAT THE CONTROLS
BE SET AS USTED IN TABLE ^-Ûk Note also that the Prophet presets to program 1^1 w henever pow ef

Service Notes

5-0 GENERAL i

It should be possible for the qualified technician to service the Prophet using th e schematics and
standard tro u b le sh o o tin g techniques* The comments below suggest general approaches to correct
typical symptoms in each su b -drcu itt

CAUTiON: Observe the precautions in paragraph 1-1 of this manual.

5-1 POT M U X /A D C

C on trol knob m alfunctions are most likely failures of U2Ö1 -03. However, any dâtâ bus p ro ble m co u ld
couse incorrect p o t m u ltip le xin g . See Table 2-0, Dirty pots may Clean th e m or replace w ith
10-100K linear taper. Jf several pois ju m p , check the ADC C A ÍN and U334 A D C itself* Observe VDAC
w hile turning knob^ to check th e ir effect on the staircase.

5-2 KEYBOARD (K6D)

Most keyboard problems are caused by dirty, bent, or broken J-wires.

Dead notes not caused by J-wires, usually o ccu r in groups of eight, making it easy to isolate the p ro b ­
lem matrix row or column.

Also, check W702 keyboard cable. D ie d i fo r CSfl and -CSL

S-3 SWITCH MATRIX

If à switch does n o t fu n ctio n its LED w ill âlso probably not lig h t a#id the p ro b lfirn m ust be in th e switch
m atrix, if a switch L£D Lights^ but th e fu n c tio n is notenabi^d,,the problem must be in the c o rre s p o n d ­
in g o u tp L i laich o r analog circuitry.

Check operation o f other switches to isolate m alfunction to a single row or co lu m n .

Check for CS8 and -CSD.

5-4 LED MATRIX

If ih e Prophet power5-up with a few bright LEDs, bui doesn't o p ífa te ，you can assume the comptiter isn t
running.

Some owners may notice a slight difference in brightness between the BANK and PROGRAM nurrierical
display%. This Í5 normal, resulting from different scan times for each display.

If a switch LED doesn't indicate switch status (on or off), check that the ^vvitch iî indeed functioning. For
example, if 5213 enables 05C B PULSE but DS213 doesn t light* check operation of LEDs connected in ihe
same matrix row or column: DS203 10, DS105, and the c-segments of OS225, IÍ ihey didn r workj ilie
problem might be R219, Q201, R240, or U208.

Check íor CS8 and CS9.

5-5 COMPUTER

See also paragraph 5-6.

M ost com puter malfunctions are caused by failures of divices connected to the d^ita bus, {Wave*
forms 5-0A and B show a normal bus !me,) For eitannple, any shorted inpi.it may pre-vtiru that
entire data line from ever being a Shorts between data lines w ill confuse the computef. terribly, t
If you suspect â data bus problem, try to pick o u i the lines with questionable levels. Low ihotild
be 0-5DOmV, High should be 4-5V (3^V for CMOS), Reading of 1 o r 10V, for e ^ m p le , indicate a
failure. First, check +12V and -5V supplies. Then remove any socketed (computer) device: U322
d o ck, U312/13 EPROMs, or the appropriate 6508 — WHICH WILL CLEAR THË PROGRAM MEMORY!
If this doesn"! locate the probiem t you w ill have to cut traces to all other daia^bussed devices uniil

CSO is the earliest CS, so maybe used for "lo o p sync".

if th e com puter NdiesJ,r seemingly random ly, you m ight check U322 CPU CLOCK fo r ¡ntermittents*
Also check thatHJ71G and P301 are firm ly interlocked. If the co m p u te r doesn't com e up at allFihe
p ro b le m could be a tu n in g problem* Pull W703 and try agâtn. If îh e panel how lights normalty (after
5-7 seconds) check either OSC 1A — which can hang up the TUNE routine, if dead — or U301-06.

tf co m p u te r TUNEs to o quickly, o r not at all, check U31G. Bad 6500s may also cause erratic tunings,
since they hold the BIAS values.

V6 NON-VOLATILE PROGRAM MEMORY

NOTB ； The NV PRCM RAM \i w eII-protected, b u l not fo o lp ro o f. Technicians should warn players
that th e ir programs can be lo it through the course of repair, and encourage them to back-up their
patches w ith diagram$TPanel blanks are available from the factory,

C ^ U n O N ; Any Vdd short w ill d e a r the program memory.

If programs w ill not record, check BT301, Vdd, and w hether -CS, U309-T remains high throughout
p 〇w e r-u p or dow n. The briefest pulse here may erase a few byte^.

C369 should be able to h old Vdd for a few minutes 一 but we d o n Jf guarantee ii- This niay you
lim e t〇 insert a m icrohm iti eter in series w ith BT301. Total current draw should be about 10 í í A pr less-
A single, bad 6506 can draw as much as SO ßA.
