street priceDave Smith’s 5-octave semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch features 16 voices of polyphony, dual DCOs, integrates a 2-/4-pole resonant low-pass Curtis filter, offers waveshape modulation, bi-timbral operation, built-in effects engine, enhanced arpeggiator, polyphonic step-sequencer, knob-per-function programmability, enough control for real time tweaking, integrated power supply and USB support.
Prophet Rev2 allows for allocating voices in any way so you can have different splits, textures or chords comprising 8 voices each.
Rev2 is a boost-it-all version of a Prophet ’08 featuring an upgrade out of each and every detail. The uploading of the Prophet ’08 libraries will let them sound adjusted with the new features of the Rev2.
Each of the voices has its own dedicated low-pass filter based on a chip designed by Curtis. The famous 2-/4-pole resonant filter presents an Audio Mod control for dialing motion and harmonic complexity.
The pulse width of the waveform is continuously variable owing to the waveshaping modulation feature. The Shape Mod control lets you use a modulation source to sculpt the timbre or you can dial some width amount as well. There are two digitally controlled analog oscillators per voice offering 4 waveforms including sawtooth, sawtooth+triangle, triangle, and square.
Enjoy working with layered voices thanks to poly 64-step sequencer (6 notes per step) which can also be applied as a modulation source. The sequences can be synced to an external MIDI clock as well as an arpeggiator which allows for note repeating.
The effects section delivers juicy reverbs, delays both standard and bucket brigade, ring modulation, phase shift, distortion and chorus. Every layer can be fed with a unique effect while effects parameters can be modulated with a Mod Matrix which is now doubled.
Rev2 offers 512 factory and 512 user patches. The build quality is as convincing as DSI instruments can be. You can take the keyboard in tour considering its integrated power supply, USB support and precise OLED display, or use in a studio.

August 31, the Dave Smith Instruments company held a rebranding, timed to the 40th anniversary of their iconic musical instrument Prophet-5. From now on the company itself is called Sequential again, and all the subsequent pruducts will be produced under that label.
NAMM 2017 took place in Anaheim again keeping its status of the most valuable venue in the world of music gear. Tens of thousands visitors familiarized themselves with all the synths, pianos, guitars, drums, studio and DJ equipment and might have already fallen in love with them and some of them might become legendary. Some day.
