The ProphetRev2desktop module is justas powerful and easy to use as its counterpart, the Prophet Rev2keyboard. The module has the same controls with the same the same ease of use as the keyboard version.Best of all, it sounds just asawesome, because its exactly the same on the insideDave Smiths reimagining of his now-classic Prophet 08 poly synth.
The Prophet Rev2 retains all of the key features of the Prophet 08 and expands on them. It has twice the polyphony, twice the mod matrix, waveshape modulation on all waveforms, digital effects per layer in stacked or split voice mode, a polyphonic step sequencer per layer, and more. The result is a true analog powerhouse.
Youcan download any of the many existing libraries of Prophet 08 sounds and they will not only sound identical, but can be enhanced with the new features.
Features:
- 16-Voice Polyphony
With 16 voices to play with, you have the freedom to allocate them as you wish. Play two-fisted chordsvia your MIDI controller,stack two 8-voice sounds for massive, complex textures, or split your controller into two completely separate 8-voice Prophet Rev2 instruments. An 8-voice version of thedesktopmodule is also available, which,like the ProphetRev2 keyboard,can later be expanded to 16-voices with theExpander Kitif desired.
- Bold Sound
The Prophet Rev2 gets its bold, punchy sound from its 2/4 pole, low-pass, resonant Curtis filters per voice. Theseare the same filters used not only in the Prophet 08, but in many classic instruments of the 70s and 80s. A separate Audio Mod control adds additional harmonic complexity and movement.
- Waveshape Modulation
A powerful new feature unique to the Prophet Rev2 is waveshape modulation. You can now vary the pulse width of any of the four waveforms (sawtooth, saw+tri, triangle, square). Using the Shape Mod control, you can manually dial in a desired waveshape width or use an LFO or other mod source for continuously shifting timbre. Even single-oscillator sounds take on new depth and dimension. The tonal possibilities are vast.
- Effects Per Layer
The effects section provides reverb, delays (standard and BBD), chorus, phase shifter, ring modulation, and distortion. In stacked or split voice mode, you can apply a different effect to each layer. Effects parameters can be modulated through the Mod Matrix.
- Extended Mod Matrix
Also present from its predecessor is an easy-to-assign Mod Matrix, now twice as big, with 8 individual slots and many more sources/destinations. Its a veritable sound designers playground.
- Poly Step Sequencing
The polyphonic step sequencer allows up to 64 steps and up to 6 notes per step. You can create a different sequence for each layer when you are working in stacked or split voice mode, making it a powerful tool for composition or performance. The sequencer also functions as a modulation source in gated mode, allowing you to create up to 4 different 16-step sequences for complex modulation. Sequences allow ties and rests, and can sync to an external MIDI clock. The arpeggiator features note repeats, re-latching, and can be synced toexternal MIDI clock, as well.
- Per-Knob Programmability
The knob-per-function front panel offers instant access to Prophet Rev2 functions. Included are512 permanent factory programsand 512 rewritable user programs.
- Eminently Playable
All of this polyphonicmuscleis packed into a compactdesktop module with an integrated power supply, USB support, and a crisp OLED display. Whether youre gigging or recording, its an analog powerhouse like no other.
