Sequential Prophet Rev2 16-Voice Synthesizer Module Overview
Sequential’s Prophet Rev2 is the new-and-improved version of the iconic Prophet '08 - a synth that was adopted by leading artists such as James Blake, Radiohead, deadmau5, Shook and more. Not only is the Prophet Rev2 the most feature-packed synth out of Sequential’s analogue instruments, it’s also the most affordable series in their lineup.
Compact Form Factor
The Prophet Rev2 Desktop condenses the wealth of timbre shaping capabilities, comprehensive connectivity options and rich analogue sound into a portable and compact form factor. It’s the one to go for if you have a master keyboard or controller that you prefer to use (whether that’s a fully-weighted & graded 88-key behemoth or a diminutive pad-laden device), need an easily transportable synth module for live use and/or have limited space in your studio.
The Desktop version of the Prophet Rev2 is every bit as intuitive as easy to use as its larger, keyboard-equipped sibling as it boasts the same per-knob functionality - just in a more compact package.
16 Voices
This is the most powerful version of the Prophet Rev 2 Desktop, packing a whopping 16 analogue (DCO) voices into a portable module. Whilst the Prophet Rev 2 can pull off sprawling pads with ridiculously long releases and authentic piano-style patches without voice-stealing when in Single or 16-voice mode - the real magic starts to happen when you use it in Split or Stack mode. The Prophet Rev 2 features two completely independent analog synth engines, giving you two full synths inside one powerful instrument.
If you require an all-in-one performance solution where all you have to do is power it on and plug it into the PA/Mixer/Interface, there’s a keyboard version of the Prophet Rev 2 which features a high-quality five-octave Fatar keybed.
The sheer amount of synth power that Sequential have packed into the Prophet Rev2 Desktop is astonishing, giving you one powerful 16-voice or two independent 8-voice synths in one box.
