Prophet Rev 2 - Lofi patch tutorial

[@Hoffalompen]

Nice one! To further enhance the "vinyl feeling" on this: Go to bank b Set LFO 2 to: random wave Destination: noise Amount: 4 Frequency 140-ish This will make it more crackling :)

[@alexthompson4200]

Great idea! I'll pin your comment so everyone can see :) Thanks for the addition!

[@PeterBraymusic]

Good tip! You can also assign audio out - > Cutoff in the mod matrix and turn up velocity to add more digital noise when you play louder. Sounds a bit different from using the white noise.

[@alexthompson4200]

@@PeterBraymusic Great idea! I've been playing around with assigning the audio out to various things recently. I feel like it gives it a 'less digital' feel. Thanks for the contribution!

[@Rozhdestvo]

cool!thanks friends!

[@m-l-battle]

awesome! another thing to add is LFO 3 - SHAPE: RANDOM, DEST: AUDIO MOD, FREQ and AMOUNT are up to you

I've searched youtube for weeks looking for demos of the synth that would remotely come close to sounds I'd actually create, and this is it. We definitely need more reviews demos from people that know how to sound design with taste (especially for genres like these). Cheers, man. This video actually helped me make that purchase

[@alexthompson4200]

Thank you so much for this comment! So glad to hear that you enjoyed the patch and good luck with the new synth :)

[@leroygreen214]

Best tutorial of the Rev 2 that I’ve seen and I’ve been searching for a while. You should definitely design some patches and sell them, you’ve got skills man 💯

[@MrJordanStrickland]

thiiiiis is the channel I've been looking for. so hard to find anyone doing decent patch tutorials on youtube, especially on a rev2!!!!

[@alexthompson4200]

Ahh thanks so much for such a nice comment! I'll be doing more very soon! :)

[@StlProductionz]

Alex, great video. I just purchased my DSI knowing nothing about creating patches. This was my 1st patch. You made it EZ...I can't wait to view more content. Thanks!

[@bicycleninja1685]

Nicely done!

[@jasonb2089]

I tried Hoffalompen and Alex Moore's (in the comments) suggestions for the noise modulation. Both really add to the effect of randomizing the noise to get more of a vinyl effect. I was doing some additional fiddling and I changed Alex M's suggestion of the second LFO modulating the effects mix and instead had that LFO modulating FXParam2. Using a triangle wave gives you that circular motion of the record spinning, kind of a noisy wobble as if the record was slightly warped. Excellent sound and video. Thanks everyone.

[@alexthompson4200]

That's so cool! Thanks for sharing your edit! I'll definitely be trying this and saving it in my board :)

[@bigeasternsyndicate6933]

Nice tutorial! Right pace and energy. Learned some. More for the Rev2, please!

[@alexthompson4200]

Thank you! There's more coming soon!

[@longfade]

Fantastic little tutorial, thanks. LOVE the Rev2.

[@alexthompson4200]

Thank you so much! It's a beautiful instrument!

[@jessietostenrude3445]

I just bought this synth and you are doing great! Nice and straight to the point Appreciate you bro!

[@alexthompson4200]

Thanks so much! Congrats on your purchase aswell! Hope you have many great hours creating sounds on it :)

[@paulchristey]

thanks for the tips Alex, im getting the rev2 on monday :) cant wait to try out your tutorials

[@adamcrowe4065]

that was super helpful, that will seriously change my whole patch making process. thank you

[@mishabigos]

Great tutorial. I've found that tutorials like these featuring good sounds are the best way for me to learn synthesis and how to use my board. Please make more.

[@alessandroberrini9811]

Please, keep on making these patch tutorials. I wasn´t aware I could achieve this sound with my Rev 2! Great explanation as well. Cheers!

[@luckyalbright5139]

What a beautiful sound! thanks again

[@marcusturner142]

Execellent tutorial! That patch feels good, dope sound!

[@alexthompson4200]

Thank you so much! Glad you like it!

[@kylenoone6232]

just got this synth a few hours ago. i followed along and got something close!

[@KILLAGORILLA7000]

Gorgeous patch! Will be recreating this when my newly purchased Rev2 module arrives :)

[@alexthompson4200]

Congrats on the new purchase! Hope you love it!

[@total_leftie]

Props man very easy to follow and sounds delicious. I'd love more on the Rev 2, 2.

[@alexthompson4200]

Thanks so much! There's definitely more coming. stay tuned!

[@steveturner1815]

Another excellent tuturoial Alex, thank you. And also thankyou Hoffalompen below.

[@Cutbult]

Thanks for the great patch. Another cool tweak is to do: Mod Slot Source Preassure ammount -4 ish Destination OscAllFreq Simulates a tape wobble kind of thing :)

[@Ywz816]

Thanks for this Tutorial! It’s great to see what I can do with this rev 2

[@alexthompson4200]

[@alexthompson4200]

Thank you! :)

[@williamocosby]

Great tutorial Alex!

[@jonilikeskeys]

So cool! Please continue such videos, man! I did that patch - the explaining speed was excellent. I just added some aftertouch vibrato (as I almost always do). Best part for me: Reverse use of the Aux Envelope for that slide-up effect! I was searching for something like this, since the Nord Lead A1 that I used to have had that function within the LFO section.

[@alexthompson4200]

So great to hear you liked it :) I usually add aftertouch on aswell to patches (usually stack vibrato and open the cutoff filter a tiny bit) just wish that every synth had aftertouch haha! We are spoilt with options with the Prophet!

[@jonilikeskeys]

Alex Thompson True!!

Thanks Alex!

[@alexthompson4200]

You're welcome!

[@alexmoore9720]

Very well done!! I just recreated it and love it, also tried the LFO to the noise as suggested in the comments, and a slight slow lfo to the effects mix to let more or less white noise through. Could you also tell me what chords you've been playing throughout?? especially at the end there? Many thanks!! Subbed to your channel, stoked to hear more.

[@alexthompson4200]

Amazing! So glad you like it! In terms of the chords I was playing I think the bit from 6:38 was: Dminor9 , Bb7add9add13 , Amajor7add9 , A7 add b9 with C# in the bass , then to finish Dminor 9 again. Then the bit from 7:15 was: Dminor9 , Cmajor7 , Bminor7add13 , Amajor7add9 , then back to Dminor 9. Hope that helps!

[@Digiphex]

Nice patch!

[@alexthompson4200]

Thank you! :)

[@beat8974]

Awesome tutorial thank you, just got mine, how do you save a new modified program preset under a new name, from an original sound factory preset, without overwriting or losing the original sound? Many thanks

[@alexthompson4200]

Glad you liked it! On the rev2 there are 8 banks to choose from. Four are labeled 'F' for factory and four are labeled 'U' for user (I think). I keep the factory banks exactly as they come and if I have modified a sound I like I then write it in but save it under the one of the user banks instead (when you press the write button you can use the bank knob to switch over). Hope this helps? Let me know if you need any more info :)

[@beat8974]

@@alexthompson4200 Thank you so much :)

[@linuss6867]

Thanks for this tutorial :) So this means now the amount of voices is halved since you layer? So on a rev2-8 you could only play 4 keys at a time right? I just try to figure out, if I take the 8 or 16 voice version :)

[@bryanpope6069]

Hi Alex, thanks for the tutorial. Great sound! I just got a Rev 2 and tried making this sound following your guide. Are you using the 8 or 16 voice Rev2? I have the 8 voice version, and I was noticing an issue when playing some more dense chords that my low notes seem to not trigger or get dropped. For example on a Dm9, I'll be playing a D in the bass, then add FACE at the top, but the D goes silent after adding in the higher 4 notes. Have you ever experienced something like this?

[@alexthompson4200]

Hey Bryan, I'm using the 16 voice version. Interesting to hear your problem. I've had that same issue aswell at times although I haven't looked into it too much to be able to resolve it. I'll try and do some testing to see if I still have the same problem but my best advice would be to email Sequential and see if they can help. You could also try using the split feature and making the same patch on A and B and see if it keeps all the notes? Let me know how it goes though!

[@bryanpope6069]

@@alexthompson4200 thanks for the reply! I figured out the issue. When you do a split or layer, polyphony is halved, so that is why I couldn’t play larger chord voicings on the 8 voice model when that feature was used. So unfortunately, with the 8 voice, you get 4 voices per A/B layer.

[@pajamalamadingdong4524]

@@bryanpope6069 I have the same issue with voice stealing on the 8 voice as well, especially if I turn up the release on the amp filter. I just dial in a little bit of noise onto voice A and ditch voice B. We don't get the same amount of control over the noise like folks are discussing in this thread, but the ability to play fuller chords and not lose notes is worth it for me.

[@DrJ3RK8]

Nice sound! I'm a bit late in seeing this. One thing you could add is a very small amount of sample and hold on the noise filter. (low pass)

[@vitovizzini7351]

Nice! please make a Jai Paul tutorial, they use prophet like sounds but can't figure it out

[@alexthompson4200]

Thank you! I will have a look and see what I can do :)

Alex, do more!!)

[@alexthompson4200]

I will! Should have a new video coming soon :)

[@jubeijackson6602]

Nice tutorial. Is this a 8voice or 16 voice rev 2? I don’t remember if you mentioned that.. beautiful sound!

[@alexthompson4200]

Thank you! It's the 16 voice version :)

[@jaredmccormick1309]

Just out of curiosity what chords were you playing in that first part you show?

[@kimiko8796]

followed with my brand new rev 2 but its doesnt really sound the same :( is ur firmware up to date?

[@alexthompson4200]

Ah no i'm sorry to hear that! My firmware wasn't up to date when I released the video but it is now and I have just checked and it sounds the same. I'm not 100% sure what could be the problem but I will have a think and get back to you if I notice anything!

[@planetmue7165]

wouldnt a Dx do this sound for a 1/10 of the price?

[@alexthompson4200]

Most likely :) I'm not sure as have never played around with a DX synth. But if you have one let me know how you get on with it :)

[@morpholiseduoderum4728]

Can you please show some of the chords you’re using ?

[@alexthompson4200]

Yeah i'll make a video soon about some of my favourite chord progressions/voicings!

[@ryanmelvey8764]

could this be done on a p-5?

[@alexthompson4200]

Hmm not sure. I don't know the oscillators too well on a P5. If you can get a triangle wave on it then i'm sure you can get something either exactly the same or very close :)

[@tremarquise4675]

Im kind of upset because I cant create this sound and I've watched the video twice!

[@lextron-audio]

Your presentation in designing patches is perfect. Perhaps cut to camera on synth more often. Thanks

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Nice patch!
