Key Features:

• 16 Voice Polyphony:
  With 16 voices of polyphony, you can perform two fisted chords, create massive textures, or split the keyboard into two 8 voice instruments, offering endless possibilities.
• Waveshape Modulation:
  A unique feature of the Prophet REV2, allowing you to modulate the pulse width of any waveform to create dynamic and evolving timbres, enriching your sound palette.
• Polyphonic Step Sequencer:
  The sequencer offers up to 64 steps with six notes per step and allows for complex, polyphonic sequences in stacked or split voice modes, enhancing your performance.

Bold Sound:

The Prophet REV2 Desktop Module inherits the iconic Curtis low pass filters, delivering the bold, resonant analog sound that’s made the Prophet series a staple in modern music. With a separate Audio Mod control and waveshape modulation, it adds extra harmonic complexity and depth to your sounds. Whether you’re after fat basses, soaring leads, or atmospheric pads, the Prophet REV2’s filter section is key to its immense sonic power. Its resonance and low pass filtering capabilities, coupled with the option for 2 or 4 pole operation, ensure a wide range of tonal options, all while preserving the characteristic warmth of analogue sound. The combination of analog oscillators and modern features like waveshape modulation makes it an incredibly versatile synth for all genres, from electronic to cinematic compositions.

Expanded Mod Matrix:

The Prophet REV2’s modulation matrix has been significantly expanded, offering 8 individual slots for routing modulation sources and destinations. With 22 sources and 53 destinations, this system unlocks a wealth of creative possibilities. You can easily shape your sounds, from subtle nuances to extreme transformations. This expanded matrix enables complex modulation setups, perfect for advanced sound design and dynamic live performances. The modulation capabilities allow for smooth transitions between different sonic textures and timbres, whether using the sequencer, LFOs, or external controllers. For experienced synthesists and those looking to experiment, the Prophet REV2’s mod matrix is a powerful tool that brings a new level of control and flexibility.

Polyphonic Step Sequencer:

The Prophet REV2 Desktop Module is equipped with a polyphonic step sequencer capable of up to 64 steps and six notes per step. You can create intricate sequences with ties and rests and sync them with an external MIDI clock. The sequencer operates separately for each layer when in stacked or split mode, allowing for complex multi layered patterns and modulation. This powerful tool offers up to 4 different 16 step sequences, enabling you to explore unique rhythms and harmonic progressions in your compositions. Additionally, the integrated arpeggiator adds further versatility with note repeats, re latching, and sync capabilities. Whether used for live performances or intricate studio work, the sequencer adds a new dimension to the Prophet REV2.
