Prophet Rev2 Synthesizer 16 Voice. The Prophet Rev2 is Dave Smith’s reimagining of his Prophet ’08 poly synth, a modern classic that has appeared on countless recordings and stages since its debut in 2007. The Prophet Rev2 retains all of the key features of the Prophet ’08 with 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. Best of all, you can download any of the many existing libraries of Prophet ’08 sounds and they not only sound identical, but are enhanced with the new features. 16-Voice Polyphony With 16 voices to play with, you have the freedom to allocate them as you wish. Play two-fisted chords, stack two 8-voice sounds for massive, complex textures, or split the keyboard into two completely separate 8-voice instruments. Bold Sound 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 in the Prophet ’08, as well as many classic instruments of the '70s and '80s. A separate Audio Mod control adds additional harmonic complexity and movement. 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 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. Extended Mod Matrix Also present from its predecessor is an easy-to-assign Mod Matrix, now twice as big, with eight individual slots and many more sources/destinations. It’s a veritable sound designer’s playground. Poly Step Sequencing The polyphonic step sequencer allows up to 64 steps and up to six 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. ...

Pulled the trigger on this Prophet Rev2 desktop. Hooking it up to my Arturia Keylab Mkii 49. Sounds amazing. Only other synth I’ve owned is a Korg Minilogue and I didn’t love it so I sold it, and have just been using Arturia Analog Lab and V Collection 8, but this Rev2 is amazing

 Sounds killer, sparked serious creativity and only had it a few hours. Amazing quality too.

New Synth. Totally blown away. Amazing.

In this price range I would probably get a Prophet Rev2, which is an amazing synth that will keep you busy for years. Vintage synths like the Juno or DX7 are cool, but they have a lot of maintenance issues. I would start with a modern synth (unless you find an amazing deal for one of those).

I'm looking to buy my first synthesizer and I'm looking for something that's versatile that I could have for a few years and is max $1,500. I really likes synths like the Juno 106 and Yamaha DX7 but I'm not sure if those would be the right synths to get at this time. 

I've been using logic for years and the built-in synths and I understand the basics of a synth, so really I'm trying to move from digital to physical synths. 

I've been researching but I'm having a hard time finding and narrowing down ones that would be good for my first synth.

Any suggestions are really helpful :) thank you!

Suggestions for my first synthesizer

 If you like, or values the gated sequencer can either be free running like this or work on a step-by-step basis in key step mode, [, Music, ]. I think this is one of the more unique and compelling features of the Rev, and you can accomplish all this with the menus, but the software is a lot more. Usable Rev also has an arpeggiator pretty standard stuff, the old mode, if you like, and the standard arpeggiator options. Okay, let's move on to sound design, [, Music ]

 This is the desktop version which has exactly the same features as the Rev with the keyboard, but it's slightly cheaper and takes up much less space. I prefer this one because you can put it on a stand in an angle and I can hook up any key. Any MIDI keyboard that I want to it. If I want a small one that works well and if I want to go bigger, I can whatever keyboard you do choose to hook up, make sure that it's velocity and after type sensitive, because these can be modulation sources in the Rev

 I want using the mod matrix, but there's another third envelope that we can use to route anywhere else. So, let's, for example, take the pitch of oscillator of the oscillators as a modulation destination. You can affect it either positive or negatively and with delay. You can have the effect be applied a while, after you press the key, so standard stuff and there's a variety of destinations here now beside that you can also loop this envelope

 So the idea here is that I can choose a preset. Let'S say this one and then let's take another one, take this guy, for example, and then either mix so have steps that are mixed in between them or morphed in between them. So let's say take this one, for example. So it's sort of, if you look at this as the starting point - and this is the end point - you've got all the sounds in between

Review of the Prophet Rev2 by Dave Smith - is it the analog poly synth for you?

TL;DR I want something with responsive knobs and sliders that’s gonna be able to give me nice warm and interesting chord/pad sounds plus fat funky bass-lines and fun melodic runs. 

 I’m not as big on the computer-y, science-fiction-y kinds of sounds that the cs seems to produce because I don’t really make techno or EDM… although I am interested in the roughness and gritty quality of many sound effects and bass-lines found in a lot of contemporary music today. I have a reface cp coming in the mail because that Rhodes sound is a staple for me, but I need something else more synthesizery to play around with making sounds for anything from cool textures(pads) to fun bass-lines and slick melodic ear-worms. I wanted to spend about 300-500 dollars but after research it looks like maybe the Deepmind 12 would be the best fit for what I’m looking for, and possibly the most fun? I’m thinking I should save up for that. Is there anything that isn’t on my radar? I probably would want to get something with polyphony for a first synth and don’t want something like the reface dx because it doesn’t seem quite as intuitive even though the sounds can be nice

Edit: I went to Sam Ash today to see what they had to try out. They didn’t have a deepmind on the floor but I played a prophet rev2 and I could tell I would be able to get the sounds I want from that thing… and way more than I would ever need. I also played a Minilogue because I know how popular they are and it makes complete sense. That thing was extremely intuitive, cool sounding, and fun even if it wasn’t producing the exact sounds I’m looking for

What Should I Buy? /// Weekly Discussion - June 28, 2021

 For instance, I read a lot of positive comments about the Prophet Rev2, but then I’ve also seen videos from people who I share similar tastes who say they didn’t like it, and I know from experience that minority opinion of people I’m familiar with is way more valuable than a consensus of strangers. So I don’t think I would trust reviews or scores from a site like the one you’re proposing.

Hi everyone,

Some of the folks in this sub might know my website, Equipboard (we show what gear artists use to make music, e.g. [Richard Devine's OP-1](https://equipboard.com/pros/richard-devine/teenage-engineering-op-1-portable-synthesizer)).

I've been working on the site quite a bit in hopes of making it more useful for the synth nerd (amongst other types of musicians), but here's the rub: 

**I want it to be useful beyond being _"that website that shows you what gear pros are using."_** 

You know how BeerAdvocate helps you figure out if a beer is good, or Rotten Tomatoes helps you decide what movie to watch? I'm trying to get as close to that as possible with Equipboard. 

Here's what I'm working with, just to give some examples:

- [Novation Bass Station II](https://equipboard.com/items/novation-bass-station-ii-analogue-mono-synth)
- [Nord Stage 3 88](https://equipboard.com/items/nord-stage-3-ha88)
- [Moog Minitaur](https://equipboard.com/items/moog-minitaur-analog-bass-synthesizer)
- [u-he Diva](https://equipboard.com/items/u-he-diva-software-synthesizer-plugin)

The thing is, it's easy to get tunnel vision over here and think, "hey a Rotten Tomatoes for music gear should exist." But, _should it?_ 

**Would you refer to the pages I linked above when researching (or considering buying/downloading) a synth? If not - or unsure - I'd love to hear why.**

I'm trying to be really honest with myself here and put it out there and get feedback, so please be honest and don't hold back, even if you think this is utterly useless and would be no part of your buying journey :)

ps. I cleared this with the mods before posting!

<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> I&#39;m still reading (and re-reading) all the feedback. Thank you all SO much for taking the time to comment, and sharing insights on the things that are important to you when shopping for a synth &amp; other gear. Couple of interesting takeaways are 1) I had no idea the 5-star rating scale was generally so disliked, and 2) I had no idea Rotten Tomatoes was generally so disliked!</p>

<p>But seriously thank you, I am humbled by the nice comments about Equipboard. I will definitely think on all this, and press on and continue building the most useful gear resource I can.</p>
</div>

I built a Rotten Tomatoes for Synths... What do you think?

Would love some thoughts.  Probably need to play some in person, but would love to understand more behind the designs and what they are good at.  Thanks.

  So this in on paper something that's not clear, which leads me to believe it's a sonic thing, and I get that.  So I've tried listening to some videos and such and I'm pretty sure I can rule out the Rev2 as being too similar to some of things, the P-5 and the P-6 having the VCO's that are so critical.  But between the P-5 and the P-6 I'm having a bit a trouble really distinguishing things.  Can someone help me out here?

So last week I had the privilege of demo’ing a pair of Revel M106 and KEF R3. As I’m sure many are already getting ready to angrily type out to me, yes the set up is FAR from ideal - but it’s what I had to work with. And I have to say, they both handled it pretty well from what I can tell. 

 I’d say overall the Revel’s are more “mature” and neutral, whilst the KEFs are a little more energetic at the top end to the point where they may be a little harsh. Both handled bass well but differently - KEFs were obviously harder hitting, but the Revels seemed to hold the detail a bit better, even if they didn’t feel as low. Mids in my opinion were much of a muchness - maybe with the Revels being a little clearer when watching movies, dialogue wise. 

Overall impressions is that these two speakers are fairly close. I trialed both in near-field and mid-field using my NAD c368, and I’m having trouble deciding which I want to buy.

Upgrade time has never been so hard

This is my first TRUE Hifi System. Yes! I am aware that I don't have walls, but I do have priorities..

I recently purchased a pair of Bowers and Wilkins 706 S2 Bookshelf speakers, that are sitting on STAV 24 Stands, and are being powered by my also new NAD C368. So far I am very impressed with the sound of these stand mounters, especially in the imaging department! I am still considering eventually investing in a subwoofer to accompany these speakers in order to really hit those low notes.

First True HIFI System

Two weeks now and I’m hearing spectacular sound and great definition. Bass line is clean and natural that's only there when the music calls for it. Of course, my speakers have to take some of the credit for the great sound. I’m using PSB Imagine T towers and the SVS SB 2000 sub

 Of course, my speakers have to take some of the credit for the great sound. I’m using PSB Imagine T towers and the SVS SB 2000 sub. This NAD C 368 made them sound distinctly better when compared with my older Creek amp.

Excellent All ‘Round

 These are two times optical in two times: SPDIF in one moving, magnet, phono input, two line inputs and a pair of pre-outs that double as subwoofer outputs. For linking infrared signals with other components. There are an input and an output.

 The third option is a USB input for playing music from your computer. Directly., The review sample was fitted with the BluOS module on my request.

. When we go to the crowded main PCB, we see a DAC on a piggyback PCB quite close to the Bluetooth radio.. That’S not the preferred way unless you make it work

 On the right, the IEC power inlet with fuse and power switch. Further to the left two times, four binding posts for connecting the speakers. When two pairs of speakers Are used, these should have a minimum impedance of 8 ohms.

NAD C368 BluOS streaming dac/amplifier

Some of us like a large collection of boxes
to compose a stereo setup from.

Others don’t even want to see a single piece
of equipment in the room.

If this paints the picture of your marriage
and if you still want a decent quality music

reproduction, the C368 might be the answer.

Don’t get me wrong, this NAD has the same
dimensions as other amps but it has slots

on the rear that can hold a BluOS streaming
module that also does MQA decoding.
