Master List of Prologue Issues & Feature Requests

1. {Issue} The crashes. I've had a crash or 2 since updating to the latest. Turning off the global "auto off" function seems to have helped. Still needs to be addressed though.

2. {Issue} When the LFOs are running freely (Voice Sync Off) and you have the MW controlling the LFO rate. Engaging the MW will result in the LFOs being in sync again. I need to do more experimenting with this one. If anyone else could try to replicate this one it would be great. Might only happen when midi clock is involved. (edit) OK, after some more investigating, I've found that this only happens when the LFO is in midi clock sync mode.

3. {Issue} (Prologue 16) Editing the Sub layer on a layered patch edits the Main layer as well. When midi thru is activated in your DAW and Local Control on the Prologue is turned off...Trying to edit only the Sub layer using the Panel switch doesn't work. The edits apply to both layers even though the panel switch is set to Sub.

1. {Feature Request} The lack of separate layer control of the MW and PB wheel. The synth has 2 timbres yet there is no way to apply the wheels to only one layer.

2. {Feature Request} Gate Time of the Arp should be added as an editable parameter. Instead of just a mod destination.

3. {Feature Request} We need more options for the arp then just the 16th note default it is set to. Beat Divisions. 1/4th, 1/8th, 1/32nd, triplets, dotted etc....

4. {Feature Request} With Local Control off, the MW and PB are still connected to the internal Prologue sound. This is huge and should be be turned off when local control is off. As it is the Prologue fails at even the most basic of controller duties...Playing keys! I don't expect it to be a master controller at all but this is too much. The Sub37, with only 37 keys, has menu items that allow you to turn local control off for the keys, knobs and wheels separately.

I didn't mention the tuning issue that many, myself included, have been vocal about as I have done some tests recently and I've come to the conclusion that the operating environment is the answer. I know, all VCOs are susceptible to heat and humidity. This synth is very sensitive to heat and humidity. Even has a disclaimer in the quick start manual that it is not meant to be used in tropical climates. When my studio is 76 degrees and the humidity is normal the tuning issues practically disappear.

Feel free to add to this list. I probably missed a few things and I'm sure more will pop up in the future.

For me the most desirable feature to add is control over how many voices are used for unison. Most of the time I find unison feature useless cause 16 voices is a bit to much.

You could knock it down to 8 voices by making the preset a combination and turning the sub layer down using the balance knob.

Nice idea, thanks Grok.

1. { Issue/Feature } I'd like CC11 (Expression) to be output over MIDI so that I can record a full performance, not have to do two passes.
2. { Issue } The occasional eighth note on my eight voice going a full semitone to a tone out – a manual tuning can fix it but doesn't always
3. If I think of more I'll add them, but these are the two biggies ^^

+1 on Expression pedal/CC11 transmitted via MIDI!!

Just got my prologue today - loving it, but this seems like a pretty easy implementation for Korg?

- Scrolling through presets via Program/value knob:
scrolling with SHIFT pressed should scroll through 10 at a time (instead of 1 at a time).

Couple of 2.00 bugs/issues.
1) when editing layers using different user oscillators, parameter labels in the edit/program/multiengine programming menu are corrupted by switching the TYPE switch while in the edit menu. The rest of the menu items follow the switch context. However, for user supplied oscillators with TYPE switch context is incomplete. For example: when working on a layered patch that uses a different user oscillator in each layer, the multiengine parameter menu may or may not contain the setting for the layer selected with the TYPE switch. In fact, sometimes it has the menus from both mixed together - this is most evident when the number of parameters per oscillator is unequal. If I'm editing a layered patch with two different user oscillators, I have to exit edit mode between layer operations to get the menus correct upon editing.
2) every once in a while, I get a mangled AMP env on a low key. Something like the release dropped out as the attack took off - legato doesn't seem to effect it.
3) on MacOS Catalina, when I "drag and drop" an oscillator from a finder file window into an oscillator slot in the librarian, the P16 will load up Runner Brass (prog 1) preset values, but remain at the preset location I last selected - the one I'm currently programming. After I load the oscillator, Prog 1 preset is still loaded - I have to hit Shift-Write to reload the controls I was working on before I reloaded the oscillators.
