Sequential - Prophet Rev2
A Reinvented Modern ClassicThe Sequential Prophet Rev2 is Dave Smith’s redesign of his Prophet ’08 poly synth, which is a modern classic that has appeared on countless recordings and stages since its debut in 2007. Dave said “The Prophet Rev2 is the realization of all the effort to enhance and improve everything possible about the original design — all at a more accessible price.”
The Prophet Rev2 keeps all of the key features of the Prophet ’08 with further enhancements. 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. Resulting in a true analogue powerhouse. You can also download any of the many existing libraries of Prophet ’08 sounds and they will not only sound identical, but can be improved using the new features.

Amazing Features
• Waveshape modulation allows you to alter the pulse width for any of the four waveforms
• You can manually dial your ideal waveshape width or use an LFO or other mod source
• Multiple Effects built in, including reverb, delays, chorus, phase shifter, ring modulation, and distortion
• Create up to 4 different sequences for diverse modulation
• 61 Semi-weighted velocity sensitive keys
16-Voice Polyphony
Huge Tones & TexturesYou get 16 voices to play with and the ability to allocate them as you like. Play two handed chords and stack two 16-voice sounds for huge, complex textures.
An 8-voice version is also available where you can split the controller into two completely individual 8-voice instruments, which can later be expanded to 16-voices with the Expander Kit if you wish.

Big Bold Sounds
Classic FiltersThe bold, punchy sound of the Prophet Rev2 comes from its 2/4 pole, low-pass, resonant Curtis filters per voice.
The same filters are used in the Prophet ’08 and in many of the classic instruments of the 70’s and 80’s.
A separate Audio Mod control gives additional harmonic complexity and movement.
Waveshape Modulation
Powerful & UniqueOne of the new features of the Prophet Rev2 is the powerful and unique waveshape modulation. This allows you edit the “pulse width” of any of the four waveforms (sawtooth, saw+tri, triangle, square).
You can manually create a desired waveshape width using the Shape Mod control or use an LFO or other mod source for continuously shifting timbre.
Single-oscillator sounds also take on new depth and dimension. The tonal possibilities of the Rev2 are immense.
Effects Per Layer
Additional CharacteristicsThe effects section gives you reverb, delays (standard and BBD), chorus, phase shifter, ring modulation, and distortion.
In stacked or split voice mode, you can add a different effect to each layer. Effects parameters can be modulated using the Mod Matrix.
Poly Step Sequencing
Complex ModulationThe polyphonic step sequencer delivers up to 64 steps and up to 6 notes per step. You can make a different sequence for each layer when you are working in stacked or split voice mode. This makes it an incredibly powerful tool for composition or performance.
The sequencer also works as a modulation source in gated mode, which allows 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 also be synced to external MIDI clock.
Extended Mod Matrix
Now Twice As BigLike the one found in its predecessor, the Prophet Rev2 includes an easy-to-assign Mod Matrix, which is now twice as big, with 8 individual slots and many more sources/destinations. Providing endless amounts of fun for any sound designer.
Per-Knob Programmability
Instant AccessThe knob-per-function front panel gives you instant access to Prophet Rev2 functions. Included are 512 permanent factory programs and 512 rewritable user programs.
Eminently Playable
Perfect Live Or In The StudioAll of this polyphonic tone is built into a compact module with an integrated power supply, USB support, and a crisp OLED display. Ideal for gigging or recording, it’s a unique analog powerhouse.
