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!

UPDATE: 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!

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.

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?

 The oberheims have a very warm rich, sound they're, a little bit wonky a little bit unreliable, the older ones. This one is much more reliable. Very japanese technology beautifully made chews up in two seconds, never gives me a problem and it has a different sound to those analogues. It'S they

 One sound left one sound on the right uh, that's about it! It'S a real beast of a synth. Let'S hear it in action now: [ Music, ], [, Music, ], [ Applause, ], [, Music, ], [, Music, ], [, Music, ], so [, Music, ], [, Music, ], [, Music, ], so [, Music, ], [, Music, ], you [, Music, ], [, Music, ], hmm, [ Applause, ] [, Music, ], [ Applause, ]; no, so [, Music, ], [, Music, ], [, Music, ], [, Music, ], foreign [, Music, ], [, Music ] do [ Laughter, ], oh [, Music, ], so [, Music, ], [, Music, ], foreign [, Music, ], [, Music, ], [, Music ], you 

 So now the pitch of vco2 is being dictated by envelope, one [ Music ]. You can't hear the pitch changing because it's synced to vaseline at one. If i take the sink off, you'll hear this [ Applause ] an interesting effect in its own right, but when we put the sync back on vco2 now tracks the pitch of vco1, but it's still changing frequencies. That'S how you get these really interesting

 One. If you can hear that it's moving [ Applause, ] [, Music, ], giving you that lovely sort of fazery sound, [ Music ] going back over here on this vca you've got this lfo mod here, which will give you lfo on the output [ Music ]. It seems to get some great sounds like that: [, Music, ]. You can change that it could be a square or even random, and then i can uh put the filter to envelope two

Roland Jupiter 8, the greatest polysynth ever?

So today we're going to be looking at the king of all polysense, the jupiter eight and with prices approaching sixteen thousand dollars eighteen thousand dollars. It begs a question: is it worth it? Hi, i'm zach maher from alamo music here in san antonio texas. You can find us online at alamomusic.com and if you haven't already hit the subscribe button and turn on notifications, so you don't miss out on videos in the future

 So today we're going to be looking at the jupiter 8, the fattest poly synth ever made and we're going to be looking at it through the lens of. Is it worth it? Prices have gotten extraordinarily high for these. If you look on reverb or you look on ebay, rarely do you see one for under fifteen thousand dollars? In fact, when i checked this morning, i found two one was for about 16 and one was for eighteen five, so is it worth it? This is a piece of technology from 1981.

 If it gets close enough for you, i i would highly encourage you to take one and there and we're gon na. Do another video kind of talking about the design behind both of these and really what roland was trying to do and which one? What might be right for you if you like the jupiter 8, but don't want to buy a jupiter 8., so i hope you enjoy it. The guy that's going to be demoing is our synth guru randy

Vintage: Worth It? Roland Jupiter-8, the $16k+ King of Analog Poly Synths (vs Jupiter X & System 8)!

The great thing about it is that it's so easy to pull great sounds very quickly. Every control is on the front panel, plus the Jupiter approach to subtractive synthesis is so ingrained and conventional that the whole thing feels instantly familiar.  

If you lift the resonance you instantly lose bottom end from the filter. This is exactly what happens with a real Jupiter 8 - it's an aspect of the filter design - but it's worth being aware of.  

I've used it for bass a few times when playing live and it's great. It doesn't have the deep bass "floor" of a Moog of course, but it has enough to do the job.  

Howdy all;

I am wanting to grab a sub $1000 recreation of a classic synth. The two that I'm in love with are the JP-08 and the Behringer 2600.

I wanna drop $800-ish on a vintage recreation.

Roland Jupiter Xm has RD piano model, can run on batteries and has built-in speakers. And tons of features and sounds.

I've been playing piano for a little over 2 years now and don't plan on stopping. However I am on the hunt for something independent, small and portable that can preferably sit on my lap and can take and play just about anywhere. If I'm not mistaken a synthesizer can fill these roles, and it's possible to play a typical acoustic piano" sound, but to be frank I don't know much of anything about synthesizers so sorry about my lack of info on the subject.

Should I look into a synthesizer?

 So now we have this see how that sound, just got so much fatter straight away. So now we have only four voices but hey [, Music ] such a huge, sound or you can select, for example, solo mode where you use just one voice or you can go unison where all of the voices are dedicated for whatever you play here like see. So fast, I can also play too. So if I play one note, I get all eight oscillators on that one note: if I play two, I get four oscillators four voices per note and so on so forth

 I can say: okay, I want a little bit of modulation for the VCF and this will be assigned to envelope one which is this so so, if I want more that type of sound, I can pull up the resonance. So now I'm deciding how fast that movement is, but if I'm working with the bass, I might want to have also the amplitude to go down like a fast DK kind of sound down the resonance and let's go down there. I might decide to go unison for this one [, Music, ] there you go super fatness and well. You can see why this emphasizes so famous because it's so fat, oh and don't forget if the synthesizer goes out of tune, like all analog synthesizers do on this one

 So let's go poly mode. I want to do a bass, so I'm gon na start working on the VCF straight away. I can say: okay, I want a little bit of modulation for the VCF and this will be assigned to envelope one which is this so so, if I want more that type of sound, I can pull up the resonance. So now I'm deciding how fast that movement is, but if I'm working with the bass, I might want to have also the amplitude to go down like a fast DK kind of sound down the resonance and let's go down there
