Lately I have been digging deep into the v2022 User Manual and have found these issues...
On Page 64, Section 5.2 Default Patch...
Filter Envelope Fast/Slow shows default value of "slow" but in reality it is "fast".
2nd Envelope Fast/Slow shows default value of "slow" but in reality it is "fast".
Bender Range shows default value of "5 semitones" but in reality it is "octave".
I am not sure which is correct (synth or document) but either the document should be updated or the synth code should be updated.
Available values for (1) LFO SHAPE are "TRI-PULS, SIN-RND, SAW-NOIS". However, the SynthGraphics Panel Overlay (see attached picture) does not match this order. If it is desired to have the options match the overlay, then the values should be changed to "TRI-PULS, SAW-RND, SIN-NOIS".
On the display for (111) LFO Clock Sync, I suggest renaming "LFO TRIG" to "LFO SYNC".
On Page 19 of the User Manual, the pick-me-up mechanism arrow definitions are the opposite of how the display behaves. The manual describes how a Left Arrow or Lower Arrow "indicates that the dial value (ca. 85) is higher than the active value." and that a Right Arrow or Upper Arrow "indicates that the dial value (ca. 40) is lower than the active internal value." In actuality, the arrow is pointing left when the dial value is LOWER than the active value and pointing right when the dial value is HIGHER than the active value. I would much prefer if the arrows behaved as described in the manual, meaning that the arrows would point to the direction that the dial should be turned to reach the active value.
The following are typos in the User Manual (some are nit picky, but why not?):
Page 30, "In practise the first logic this means that when a note is released and played again the same voice is used." should read "In practise the first logic means that when a note is released and played again the same voice is used." (the word "this" should be removed.)
Page 31/32, Section 3.8. There are 2 instances of "(1) LFO Target" that should read "(11) LFO Target". There are also 3 instances of "(11) LFO Shape" that should read "(1) LFO Shape".
Page 43, Step 8, "and the Record button LED >does< off" should read "and the Record button LED >turns< off".
Page 49, "you must stored it in a page in order to keep it" should read "you must >store< it in a >patch< in order to keep it".
Page 52, "However, transposition does never affect normal playing via MIDI in any mode" should read "However, transposition does >not< affect normal playing via MIDI in any mode".
Page 54, Section 4.7, "In Preset Mode the Prophet-600 loads patch data is receives via MIDI into the active controls" should read "In Preset Mode the Prophet-600 loads patch data >it< receives via MIDI into the active controls".
Page 57, "the sound of patches will unchanged" should read "the sound of patches will >be< unchanged"
