When it comes to polyphonic synthesis, the Dave Smith Instruments Prophet Rev2 61-Key 8-Voice Polyphonic Synthesizer stands in a league of its own. This innovative instrument takes the revered foundation of the Prophet '08 and elevates it with a host of modern enhancements. With its 61-key, semi-weighted keyboard, the Rev2 offers an expressive playing experience, complete with velocity sensitivity and channel aftertouch.

At the heart of the Rev2 are dual digitally controlled oscillators (DCOs) per voice, complemented by a sub-oscillator and the iconic 2/4-pole Curtis lowpass filter. These components work harmoniously to deliver that classic, rich analog sound that musicians crave. The waveshape modulation feature allows you to sculpt your sonic palette with precision, offering a range of waveforms from sawtooth to square.

The Prophet Rev2 is not just about sound creation; it's about sound transformation. The expanded modulation matrix offers eight slots, enabling complex routing and modulation possibilities. Whether you’re crafting subtle textures or outrageous soundscapes, the Rev2 has the flexibility to accommodate.

For composers and performers alike, the polyphonic step sequencer is a game-changer, offering up to 64 steps with six notes per step. This feature, combined with an intuitive interface, makes the Rev2 a powerful tool for both live performances and studio sessions. With USB support and a crisp OLED display, the Prophet Rev2 is as functional as it is inspiring.
