Dave Smith's Prophet Rev2 represents a bold evolution of the legendary Prophet '08, doubling down on everything that made the original a modern classic whilst introducing groundbreaking new features at a more accessible price point. This reimagined polysynth maintains complete compatibility with existing Prophet '08 sound libraries, ensuring your investment in patches remains intact whilst opening up entirely new sonic possibilities through enhanced capabilities.
The Rev2's impressive 16-voice architecture gives you unprecedented flexibility in voice allocation - stack two 8-voice sounds for massive, complex textures, split the keyboard into separate 8-voice instruments, or simply enjoy the luxury of playing intricate two-handed chord progressions without voice stealing. At the heart of its bold, punchy character are the same 2/4 pole, low-pass, resonant Curtis filters that defined classic instruments of the 70s and 80s, complemented by a separate Audio Mod control for additional harmonic complexity.
The standout innovation is waveshape modulation, allowing you to vary the "pulse width" of any waveform - sawtooth, saw+tri, triangle, or square - either manually or via LFO for continuously shifting timbres that add remarkable depth even to single-oscillator patches. The comprehensive effects section includes reverb, delays, chorus, phase shifter, ring modulation, and distortion, with the ability to apply different effects to each layer in stacked or split modes, all controllable through the expanded 8-slot Mod Matrix.
Professional features abound, from the polyphonic step sequencer supporting up to 64 steps and 6 notes per step, to the premium five-octave semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch. Road-ready appointments include integrated power supply, USB connectivity, and a crisp OLED display, making the Prophet Rev2 an ideal choice for both studio work and live performance.
