this manual is both an introduction to the instrument, and a source of further lflfoimatlon.

'f through, you'll see that we begin with the most intuitive approach, and end with a more

. c approach.

. There are sound charts to introduce you to the vocabulary of the Prodigy. They are arranged

u. -omly; I hope they will be a learning experience - not a lifetime crutch! Set each up and

, experiment; youll probably learn a lot of what you want to know. After all, experimentation is a

' time-honored tradition among musicians!

Next, do the step-by-step experiments in the Synthesizing By Ear" section. They are
designed to lead you to make your own conclusions about how to use the Prodigy.

Finally, study the Understanding Synthesis and A Closer Look At The Prodigy sections. They
will teach you how the instruments parts function. When you really understand your instrument you
can go quickly from conception to realization of a sound.

Above all, dont forget that the Prodigy is a musical instrument. Those PITCH and
4 MODULATION wheels were put there to let you create an expressive musical line. Use them!

Happy music-making with your Prodigy. When you discover something beautiful, share it

with your friends.
