The Mighty Dave Smith Prophet Rev2 - Keyboard Corner

[@bobsbigboy_]

give this man a proper stand!

[@architechproducer]

Stand for Jack!!! ✊😮

[@entropybentwhistle]

No! Embrace the wobble!

[@loganborja158]

This is an all around very well done presentation, I felt like I was hanging out in the room enjoying what I was learning and hearing. well done, I look forward to having this synth in the hopeful near future.

[@Doc11152521]

This is the only demo of the Rev2 I found that actually made me get interested in this synth as I really like the sounds I hear here. This guy knows how to play the keyboard and put it in a contemporary context, not play some boring old 80s plucks and quirky FM arps that nobody would use in real modern pop productions. Most of what I hear here I could totally use in current productions. Thanks for the great demo!

[@ChillMode34]

People play a lot of crap on demos for it, but most of them don’t do it justice. Composer Jean-Michel Jarre calls it the best analog poly synth ever and I don’t think he’s completely crazy on that idea (I’d contend that the actual crown belongs to MOOG One).

[@uncccut23]

Modern pop productions sounds absolutely horrible. Is that the kind of music you’re making? Then you’re good with free VST synth my dude

[@lukewestondev]

@@uncccut23 lol stfu

[@passivehouseaustralia4406]

@@ChillMode34 yes if price is no option....and I have the rev2 16Voice and its magic. the FX are only OK, but today buy the eventide FX on vst and your set.

[@bobbob3630]

You should keep it all on one channel I think guys, I was missing my keyboard corner and had no idea there was a new channel!

[@fusionexperiment]

Best demo of this synth.

[@bettsdn]

Great vid. Loved the Patch Safari, lol. Felt like I was in the room with you boys.

I love this guy

[@wavesequencer]

Nice one Jack - enjoy your style of review. The mod matrix assign method is a great feature. Definitely one for my future shopping list. Hoping I might meet Dave Smith next week in SF - a really nice bloke from what I could tell from watching interviews.

[@AndertonsKeyboardDept]

Wavesequencer That sounds great! Be sure to say hi to him from the whole Andertons team. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe! - Brad

[@davebetts900]

Came for the rev 2 and liked for the dance off ❤

[@mmckmusic]

Love my Rev2 but didn't get much from the factory presets....you make them sound like they're worth some further investigation!

[@muzicmanc945]

??? I LIKE IT BETTER THAN MY P-10 which I now sold dont know why I waited so long

[@marcusholder495]

May Yahweh bless you and your hands love the soul of your playing!!!!!

[@Indianabones007]

Awesome to me mate

[@killat0r]

What's the difference between the "Dave Smith Instruments" Rev 2 and the Sequential Rev 2?

[@killat0r]

?

[@nicktiberimusic]

Just the decals, basically. Dave was able to reacquire the Sequential brand name soon after the Rev2 came out, so only the early models say "Dave Smith Instruments" on them.

[@killat0r]

@@nicktiberimusic Awesome, thanks! I wanna buy one, but I want it branded as "Sequential" instead of dave smith

[@JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton]

@@nicktiberimusic Thank you for clearing that up!

[@1990EAM]

I really enjoyed this review but I wish you did an even more in depth review of this synth. The Prologue review is twice as long and this synth packs so many more things. I can't believe they are almost the same price..

[@Daanguitarhero]

Hey guys what is the big difference between the 8 and the 16 voice one? I think i never use more than 8 but people say the sounds are better anyways?

[@impurfekt]

Is it source or sauce? Does it matter?

[@mikehydropneumatic2583]

This and the MOPHO X4 are the poly bargains of today.

[@robertsteinberger5667]

|It sounds warm like the junos, how is that possible without chorus?

[@wrenchposting9097]

Slop knob?

[@eltouristoduo]

Be aware that despite claims otherwise, the Rev2 is not fully bitimbral, not fully 'two synths in one', in the following respect: The two layers can't respond independently to pitchbend ! I think the applies to aftertouch as well, I don't know if anything else. Notes (of course), and other CC's work independently though, yeah. Who knows why they thought it was ok for pitchbend not to. And the worst part is DSI/Sequential not only neglected to tell us about this, they actually lied about in the manual. On p15-16 it repeatedly says the layers respond independently to MIDI controls. And after three years they are not going to fix it, or it's not even possible. Still a great sounding synth and all, just some issues with the company unrelated to how great the synths sound.

[@passivehouseaustralia4406]

are you sure ? if I run a sequence on A and play B then go the pitch bend A doesnt change only B ?

[@RayyMusik]

My desert island synth.

[@liamgilmour3941]

This or the Korg Prologue?

[@liamgilmour3941]

Henry Dinh what do you mean by it being inflexible?

[@MajorOSC]

Went to go try a prologue. I find it to be a disaster of a synth. Terrible knobs. Horrible keyboard. No after touch. Uninspiring patches. You get literally double your money's worth with a Deepmind 12, or at least a justified money spent with the rev2. Just my 2 cents though.

[@ChesttRockkwell]

Just look at the stats and features man. Rev2 comes out on top every time.

[@uncccut23]

The Prologue sounds very cold and harsh in comparison with this magnificent synth

[@PaulGBass]

@@ChesttRockkwell I have both, but Prologue features the more desirable VCOs plus a digital osc vs the REV-2s lower tier DCOs. Both are good. REV-2 has the better keyboard and modulation, 4 lfos vs just 1. Don't just pretend the VCO/DCO thing isn't an issue; Dsi/Sequential charge a huge premium for VCOs see the P5,6,10,OB6 and OB-X8... Also the built in effects on Prologue are far better than the REV-2 ones.

Oim Jack an' oi gotta fackin' chicken on me fackin' at and me shirts tryina' hug me fackin' knees!

[@marcusholder495]

I think that it's a hard one, the Korg sounds better, but which one will be a classic one day? I think that the rev 2, has a better build, but I think that the Korg prologue is going to be a classic one day

[@specialistsound]

sloppy seconds 🤣

[@extremelywyatt]

he acts like he's been drinking. .

[@DreamscapesMusicCinema]

Not sure that is worth the money compared to other boards in that price range??.....kinda brusk sounding....

[@tommyg5095]

I pay more for brusk sounds. Me likey..
