- Here is a small demo of the Prophet Rev 2 16 voice that I recently purchase. I love this synth a lot. Huge improvement over the Prophet 08 I had for some time. Some patches were accented with the H9 from eventide, and Big Sky from Strymon. Modern worship sounds using synths.
Yes, that certainly does sound amazing. Love the sound of the REV2... it can be lush, brassy, ballsy, ethereal and everything in between.
that is exactly why I'm enjoying it so much :) It is very versatile as my performance synth.
Well done.. one of the best videos of the REV2 out there.. thanks for playing music and not just making noise like many others...
Sweet, lovely, silky, really beautiful sounds...Dope man..!!
So inspiring to hear you work all of that gear together with that amazing synth. Great techniques; thanks for sharing!
Thank you Steve!
This is awesome man.
Nice. Love that retro sound
Thanks! That's why I bought it. My peak is for all the more modern synth sounds
Beautiful patches
I really do like your Rev Two demonstration videos.
I do still have my Prophet 08. I love it very much. And I also got my Prophet Rev 2. What a amazing analog synth instrument. ;)
I love the Prophet 08, that was my first real analog synth, and It was amazing. I made the upgrade just because of the 16 voices. It was worth it for me::)
the bass sound your playing with left hand at 6:22.is a magnificent classic sound
definitely. I love that bass sound for so many things
WOW this synth would love my P6 and OB6. So tempted to introduce it to them. gotta resist, resistance is futile, must try not to give in and get it..... :) Great demo of a wonderful machine!
Thank you so much! My friend has a rev 2 and an OB6 and he loves the combination! Two different animals, so they really complement each other well
very relaxing
thank you :)
By the way... I just bought the Rev2 desktop... Can you show how to do split leyers?
Min 7.01. Super beautiful arps.. Great video. Thanks
This is the instrument of my dreams. Beautiful analog sounds. Good video!
Thank you, I hope that you can get one soon, It's really been a game changer for me.
the two things im dreaming of, strymon big sky and dsi rev2
They are definitely a fantastic combination!
Those progressive chords at 3:43 set my decision to save for one of these badboys
Great sounds man.
sounds greatt cant wait to get mine friday :-)
Hopefully you love it!!
no doubt!!!
Om 🎶🎹🎶👍
sounds awesome!! I have a peak right now and I would love to add the rev 2, they are like two totally different things from what ive heard, would you agree owning both? Where do they both shine?
0:57 pretty cool sound
where / how did you learn to play like this?? Im looking to brush up on music theory / scales for ambient music so I can play live and any suggestion for reading / online tutorials would be amazing
maybe someday we will get onboard fx's like those.
I HOPE SO! DSI did a great job with their on board effects, they are very nice, almost eventide quality but we can't stack them all sadly just one per layer
FILM SCORING DREAM SYNTH
I Love your nice progressive harmonies! Huuge fan of The Midnight, I imagine this is the synth if you want to recreate their sound :)
Sounds really phat like analog should sound!
Im in 2 minds at the moment... Do i go the prophet 6 or the Rev2??? I heard there's some problems with the Rev2, Are u experiencing any issues with ur Rev2?
Hey! I have not experienced any major issues with my Rev2. Only thing I experienced was a squeaky key, however, the DSI guys helped me fix this by myself by swapping the C key with another C an octave below. All it needed was some grease and swapping the key let the factory grease lubricate the keys. Other than that just a few typical DSI wobbly knobs. The Prophet 6 is a beast and I almost got it, but went with the OB6 instead. I like the ability to use two layers on the Rev 2 and it’s still my go to synth for everything
Thanks for the heads up bro... Good to know & really appreciate ur honest feedback... but u've just made my decision harder lol
I was leaning towards the Pro6 when I stumbled across ur vid & honestly sounds exactly what I'd love to have as I make more progressive house/electronic with melodic 80's analogue synth vibes & what ur playing here sounds fukin awesome man... seriously inspired me to say the least!
I am thinking of getting the 08 or the 16 (rev2). Love your sounds in this video. If i get the 08: will there be a great difference between the sound of a 16? I can play keys but the basic of chords. Originally i play guitar. I write songs in DAW and maybe thinking of going live with it, but that is future. Thanks!
8 voices is quite a bit actually. You will be able to play many chords. The only issue is that when you split and stack you’ll get 4 and 4 voices, however you can always upgrade it later with the expansion. Voice chip
Fantastic demo, thanks! Still have doubts between the Rev2, Peak and the Deepmind12. I'm slightly in favor of the Rev2 after your demo :-)
Thank you! I also have the peak, check out some of the demos I've done. For me, the Rev 2 is the ultimate performance synth, and I enjoy playing it live every week. The peak is my designing synth, the 3 oscillators are fantastic when designing sounds, and the ability to stack all the effects is fantastic. The Rev only allows one effect per layer, but I prefer to use external effects anyway.
Deepmind, I haven't had the pleasure of using. My buddy has a prophet 12, and a deep mind and he is a professional sound designer so he knows to get deep into the deep mind, he plays it quite a bit, even more than his prophet, however I am confident that my prophet will outlive both those, the peak is built like a tank, solid knobs and very heavy, but the finish on the prophet is much better, so it doesn't chip easily. You'll be happy with either I think, the deep mind just has very bland stock presets.
Great analysis and thanks for the advices! Rev2 (specially 16-voices) is like having 2 synths, right? + has 2 different outputs and bi-timbral, that's something appealing. Effects-wise I believe Deepmind12 is the best out of those 3 but menu driving -even limited- I'd like to avoid + I intend to use the effects from my DAW. Peak appears versatile and 3 oscillators and all but, IMHO, sound-wise is not as warm and thick as the Rev2. I already got a good collection of synths Moogs: Sub37, 2xMother-32, Minitaur and a Korg Kronos and I NEED :D an analog polysynth. Thing is I love the more-retro oriented sound of the Rev2; It totally fits within my music style but my main concern is that I'm not 100% sure the Rev2 is capable of doing in addition more "modern" music. Decisions...
In that case go for the REv2, it is amazing. Also yes it is like 2 synths, you can use 4 stereo outputs, 1,2 for part A, and 3,4 for Part B. you can then run separate external effects per layer. This is amazing if you ask me. Also, if you get the 16 voice synth, you get 8 voices per layer
prologue?
P6
There was an organ type patch on the prophet 5. Think this could get close? I haven’t heard anyone make on organ type sound.
Wow I didn't know how good was the sound of Prophet Rev 216. If you have to choose between Prophet Rev and Novation Peak which one would you choose and why? I'm interested on buying Peak but I don't know if it worth to save a little bit more for Prophet Rev. Thank you.
If you are looking for a performance synth, I would definitely go for the Rev 2, if not, I thing the Peak is such a fantastic synth for sound design and recording. It's such a versatile synth. The Rev 2 is only worth it if you get the 16 voice. Also the peak has the upper hand with the digital wave tables and the 3 oscillators, however the rev 2 has such a fantastic retro sound that can do much. Also peak is built like a tank
Also what I love about the peak is that you can stack all the effects. Rev 2 you can only do 1 per layer, however the effects are top quality, almost eventide quality
Thanks for the info, it was very useful. I will stay with peak.
Very much agree! If you need powerful retro, choose a Rev2 or OB6, modern and flexible, Peak all day.
I have to say that I'm impressed that Novation has brought themselves to the top level of synth manufacturers. Their customer service model is fantastic.
Love that we live in a world where so many sonic possibilities lie before us.
I got the 8 voice and I am not disappointed at all. Once in a while I run out of polyphony but then I work around it, so no problem here, just be creative. If I want, I can get the expansion board.
Con: The only thing that I don't like is the step sequencer. No real time recording, no overdub, no editing, just there to put in some small ideas I think. Love the one on the Pro 2.
You loose some low end on the sine wave
Pro: Keyboard feels great and you get a lot of modulation routings.
Everything you need is laid out on the board, so no big menu diving.
Like Uriel said it is a great performance synth!
why is your Focusrite Scarlett upside down?
I have the 6i6 2nd gen.
REALLY bad support but got it to fully work!
Haha yeah that was before I mounted it on the rack. Before I was using it on the board but I got
A proper rack setup. It has a 8i20 for backing tracks and this for the soft synths
What`s your opinion when it comes to compare the Rev2 and the Peak ?
So far after spending a couple months with the peak, I see that the prophet sounds much warmer than the peak. The prophet is a perfect synth for those retro sounds. The peak has the advantage in the huge bass sounds, because notes in the lower registers are well defined, and not muddy like some synths, This is because it's based on the novation bass station. The advantage the peak has is that it has 3 oscillators, and the ability to stack effects which on the rev 2, only one effects per layer is possible. Both have very impressive mod matrix, however I like how easy it is to assign destination and source on the Rev2. For me, the peak is the ultimate designing synth for modern synths, but it does cover a lot of old school synths well, and the digital wavetables make it even more versatile, however the rev 2 with 16 voices, is the ultimate performance synth for me, it's basically 2 synths in one, as you can run layer a using 2 outputs, and layer b using the two other outputs, so you can route separate effects for both. The finish on the rev 2, will take daily use on the road well, while the peak has a finish that can chip easily. I really enjoy both, but use the peak at home and rev 2 on the road and for performing.
Uriel whats the song You played at 5:50? Do you remember the presets? I really want to play this. I'm sure it will be impossible to remember but if you can help me recreate it i woyld be very grateful! Thank you.
gibe me jupiter 8
No, thanks.
What mixer do you have??
Then I had a crappy Peavy Usb 6 channel mixer, I stopped using it and got a focusrite saffire pro 40 as an interface and I use their application to mix everything, that is way better and I have way less noise issues now.
That and I got a proper studio desk now with firman power conditioners hahah no more power strips and wall warts. You'll see them soon in my upcoming RD2000, Peak vs Rev 2, and strymon videos
the ob6 is the best sounding analog poly i heard so far and it's only 6 voices...the ob 2 voice sounds wayyy better than that but it's only two fking voices...I need minimum 3 ob2s running in tandem this is the only way....
is it just me or is it a lil thin sounding
its just you
@@douglashall2030 it's your head set lol
