Use this to link two Prophet '08s to double polyphony 

by intelligently processing the keys hit and passing MIDI data through to the 
Poly Chain MIDI out jack, where it can be routed to a second Prophet '08. See 
Using Poly Chain on page 30 for details. 

Note: If Poly Chain is set to Off, the Poly Chain MIDI out jack simply 
duplicates the MIDI out jack.
