Dave Sequential Prophet Rev2 8-Voice Analog Poly Synth

<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Sequential Prophet Rev2 8-Voice Analog Poly Synth</strong>&nbsp;is Dave Smith&rsquo;s reimagining of his Prophet &rsquo;08 poly synth &mdash; a modern classic that has appeared on countless recordings and stages since its debut in 2007. As Dave puts it, &ldquo;The Prophet Rev2 is the realization of our effort to enhance and improve everything we could about the original design &mdash; all at a more accessible price.&rdquo; The Prophet Rev2 retains all of the key features of the Prophet &rsquo;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. Best of all, you can download any of the many existing libraries of Prophet &rsquo;08 sounds and they will not only sound identical, but can be enhanced with the new features.</p> <h4>Key Features:</h4> <h5>8-Voice Polyphony</h5> <p>With 8 voices to play with, you have the freedom to allocate them as you wish. This 8-voice version can also be expanded to 16voices with the Expander Kit if desired.</p> <h5>Bold Sound</h5> <p>The Prophet Rev2 gets its bold, punchy sound from its 2/4 pole, low-pass, resonant Curtis filters per voice. These are the same filters used not only in the Prophet &rsquo;08, but in many classic instruments of the 70&rsquo;s and 80&rsquo;s. A separate Audio Mod control adds additional harmonic complexity and movement.</p> <h5>Waveshape Modulation</h5> <p>A powerful new feature unique to the Prophet Rev2 is waveshape modulation. You can now vary the &ldquo;pulse width&rdquo; 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.</p> <h5>Effects Per Layer</h5> <p>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.</p> <h5>Extended Mod Matrix</h5> <p>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. It&rsquo;s a veritable sound designer&rsquo;s playground.</p> <h5>Poly Step Sequencing</h5> <p>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 to external MIDI clock, as well.</p> <h5>Per-Knob Programmability</h5> <p>The knob-per-function front panel offers instant access to Prophet Rev2 functions. Included are 512 permanent factory programs and 512 rewritable user programs.</p> <h5>Eminently Playable</h5> <p>All of this polyphonic power is packed into a five-octave, premium-quality, semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch. Other road-worthy features include an integrated power supply, USB support, and a crisp OLED display, making the Prophet Rev2 an ideal instrument for gigging or recording, and an analog powerhouse like no other.</p> <h4>Specifications</h4> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td>Keyboard</td> <td>5-octave (61-key) keyboard with semi-weighted action, velocity, and aftertouch</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Controls</td> <td>Controls: Enable deep and comprehensive editing with little to no menu diving<br />52 x knobs<br />20 x buttons<br />1 x spring-loaded pitch wheel and<br />1 x assignable mod wheel</td> </tr> <tr> <td>MIDI</td> <td>MIDI Connectors: In, Out, Thru (5-pin DIN)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Input</td> <td>Pedal/CV Input: 1/4" / 6.35 mm (responds to expression pedals or control voltages ranging from 0 to 5 VDC, protected against higher or negative voltages)<br />Sustain Pedal Input: 1 x 1/4" / 6.35 mm (accepts normally on or normally off momentary footswitch)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Output</td> <td>Main Stereo Output: 2 x 1/4" / 6.35 mm TS unbalanced<br />Output B Stereo: 2 x 1/4" / 6.35 mm TS unbalanced<br />Headphone: 1 x 1/4" / 6.35 mm TRS balanced</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Voices</td> <td>8</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Sequencer</td> <td>Gated Step Sequencer: 16 x 4 (each layer can have a separate sequence)<br />Polyphonic Step Sequencer: 64 steps (6 notes per step), and ties and rests</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Arpeggiator</td> <td>Programmable arpeggiator with up, down, up+down, random, assign modes<br />Selectable Note Value: 16th note, 8th note triplet, 8th note, dotted 8th note, quarter note<br />One-, two-, or three-octave range<br />Re-latching arpeggiation<br />Note repeat</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Oscillators</td> <td>2 x digitally controlled analog oscillators (DCOs) per voice (plus sub octave on oscillator 1)<br />Glide (Portamento): Separate rates per oscillator<br />White-noise generator<br />Analog VCAs<br />Hard sync</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Waveform Type</td> <td>Selectable sawtooth, triangle, saw/triangle mix, and pulse waves (with pulse-width modulation)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Low-Pass Filter</td> <td>1 x analog Curtis with selectable 2-/4-pole operation (self-resonating in 4-pole mode), per voice</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Envelope Generators</td> <td>3 x Envelope Generators: Filter, VCA, and assignable (four-stage ADSR + delay); envelope 3 can loop</td> </tr> <tr> <td>LFO</td> <td>4 x LFO with key sync per LFO</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Modulation</td> <td>8-slot modulation matrix</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Memory</td> <td>Factory Programs: 512 (4 banks of 128)<br />Fully Editable User Programs: 512 with 2 layers (2 separate sounds) in each program</td> </tr> <tr> <td>End Pieces</td> <td>Oiled African mahogany wood end panels</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Power</td> <td>Internal Power Supply: IEC AC power inlet<br />Worldwide Voltage: 100 and 240 V at 50/60 Hz<br />Power Consumption: 30 W maximum</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Dimensions</td> <td>32.3 x 89.2 x 9.7 cm</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Weight</td> <td>9.3 kg</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
