Unleash your creativity with the Dave Smith Instruments Prophet Rev2, a 16-voice polyphonic synthesizer that elevates the iconic Prophet '08 to new heights. This powerhouse synth combines the soul of vintage analog sound with modern, expansive features, making it an essential tool for both live performance and studio production. With its 61-key, semi-weighted keyboard and velocity aftertouch, the Rev2 offers unparalleled playability, allowing musicians to expressively shape their soundscapes.

Thanks to its dual DCOs and sub-oscillator per voice, the Prophet Rev2 delivers rich, dynamic tones. The Curtis low-pass filters provide resonant, punchy sound reminiscent of the classic synths from the '70s and '80s. With waveshape modulation, you can dynamically alter waveforms, adding depth to even the simplest patches. The expanded modulation matrix, now boasting eight slots, offers endless possibilities for sound design and experimentation.

For the composer, the polyphonic step sequencer is a boon, enabling up to 64 steps with six notes per step. This feature, along with a flexible arpeggiator, allows for intricate compositions that can be synchronized with external MIDI devices. The Rev2's FX engine enhances your sound with a range of effects, including reverb, delay, and distortion, each modifiable through the synth’s intuitive interface.
