How To Make Any Synth Patch More Organic | Prophet Rev 2 | Thomann

[@Jegkedermigmega]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: these segments are a wonderful way to expand the Thomann universe :) Content marketing with Felix behind the wheels never fails, and I actually think he's getting better with every video you guys make. Felix, keep it up! :)

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Oh what a lovely feedback! Thx a lot for the appreciation. Best, Felix

[@damiensmith371]

Absolutely loving these Felix tutorials, thanks team Thomann! Pure 🔥🔥

[@kenstephens2955]

I’m very grateful for this beautiful teaching. And it sounds lovely! Bless you and thank you Felix.

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Thanks, glad you found value in it! Means a lot

[@techsture]

Great tips not only for the REV2, but synths in general. Putting the reverb before the wow/flutter distortion is a really interesting idea. Great video, thanks!

[@GordonZoot]

You have a beautiful speaking voice with a great accent. It really helps with the concentration as I take in what you are explaining and demonstrating.

[@MRGO0OSE]

awesome video, I strayed a bit from the lesson and ended up with an awesome patch in its own right!

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

That's how its supposed to be! Glad you found it inspiring/motivating. Best, Felix

[@nyanduplo]

Every time you said slop knob I cried. Regardless this was incredibly useful thank you for this, definitely subscribing!

[@jamesfish]

great tutorial felix, i'm loving this channel! another thing i've been trying recently to get 'slop' is the Voice Component Modeling technique, which is just a fancy way of saying: apply LFOs additionally to osc levels, ADSR times, filter freq/res, etc. Works best with rand sample and hold, per-voice, unsynced LFOs...eats up a mod matrix pretty quick, but def gave my Peak a more convincing vintage vibe

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Thx for the great feedback

[@yashnu]

No, VCM wants to get you away from using LFOs everywhere and instead simulate different voices with various static offsets being triggered.

[@Roboman20000]

Oh man I came to this video for some cool Rev2 stuff and you have the same setup that I do. The Monologue was my first Synth and I've just recently bought the Rev2. Did not expect that. I liked the ideas you have here. Really great. I was having trouble getting this kind of Vangelis sound out of the synths I use.

[@rolpfeiffermuller935]

Thanks airing the outstanding video.Reminescent of Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin sounds Endeavors are prominent.Bliss und danke schön

[@cyberspacer]

Amazing tutorial as usual!

[@cjkiley3914]

Lovely video. I have the prophet rev 2 but the one with the keys. I’m curious however how you are using the shallow water pedal with it. Isn’t it a mono pedal? How are you running it? I would love to possibly buy the pedal and incorporate it in my setup

[@asklfhjaw8o48934]

Fantastic step-by-step. Immediately subscribed! Love the creation of a vintage sound next to the slop knob. Fantastiche!

[@barrnycharlton8951]

great video

[@lasideasfugazes]

This video is very well done. Perfect explanation.

[@MIkeGazzaruso]

Instant Board Of Canada sound. Great 👍

[@nostandingonlydancin]

beautiful, practice and inspiring techniques as always. Thank you Felix 🙏✌️🎹

[@bicycleninja1685]

Great job!

[@Feldspar__]

Great info. This kind of contribution to the music community is excellent. The high-pitched whine in the shallow water pedal is distracting.

[@chris5375]

Ich werde mir den Prophet rev 2 mal genauer anschauen, das izotope Vinyl benutze ich auch.....

[@chris5375]

@nEOtheQ hast du das Rack oder den Key ?

[@ajcloribel9975]

[@s.r.b.4582]

Very Nice, it recalls me the dreadbox/polyend Medusa Synth recent demo sounds :)

[@unclemick-synths]

Good video 👍

[@Howhowhowie]

Wow! Great to see Agent Murphy got to follow his heart and make his dream of being a synth technician come true after taking down Escobar

[@Howhowhowie]

By the way, great video. Gonna try this out on my Rev 2 today! :)

[@Youbadouba]

Wild using a monologue to MIDI the rev2. Dunno why but’s i find this wild

[@Smartinet]

very helpful, thank you !!! (6:00 13:39

[@foenzie]

That high pitched sound on the pedal makes it unusable I think. Could it be because of the power supply?

[@purefyabeats3474]

yeah i could fixed on mine with using a dunloop 9v supply

[@solidaudio6764]

Super erklärt, vielen Dank 🙏🏼

[@phuncbeats3598]

Im having a problem with my rev2, when i create the initial basic program by pressing down +up and hold there is no tempo chosen and i cant change that with turning the tempo knob. can someone help?

[@AllThatsGone]

Fantastic explainer.

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Thx. Glad you enjoyed it

[@bashanori]

How do you connect the synth to the rev2?

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Just a midi cable

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Great timbre ❤

[@teganmora]

i want a rev 2 so damn bad to use alongside my juno ds but i can’t afford it right now. hope to get one soon

[@joeyxl3456]

sounds great doesn't it

[@piotr803]

1:50 More like "back to saw one" ;-)

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

lol true :D

[@AlekseiDroganov]

Can you please tell me how you can switch between synthesizers I find in order to immediately play, for example, on korg monologue, and then switch to Prophet rev2 8? How it's done? Thank you Or how to play them both plugged only with midi cable? Thank you

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Just to be clear: In this video you didn‘t hear a single sound produced by the Korg Monologue. It was just used to create the midi notes that the Prophet is playing. Regarding the second part of your question: If you want to connect multiple synths via midi to a single port (sequencer/computer/etc.) you can use a midi through box like the ‚MIDI Solutions Quadra Thru“ giving you 4 (so 3 additional) Thru Outputs. You can route the Midi channels on the synths & sequencer. A midi cable is capable of transferring 16 midi channels at once. Best, Felix

[@thelantern9075]

Nice patch.

[@volpir4672]

LOL, missing the transient part...

[@cardboardmusic]

I'm surprised you didn't use the distortion, or the delay (etc) that's available in the effects section of the REV2?

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

I tried them out but never got any satisfying results with either of them. Replika XT seemed like the much better solution in this case.

[@cardboardmusic]

@@ThomannSynthesizers Actually, I have to admit, I never use the inbuilt effects on the REV2, but I curious that you hadn't used them either. So, now I know.

[@neuzethmusic131]

Boards Of Canada, anyone? 😉 Great tutorial btw!

[@chrissolbe5752]

excellent

[@lucasbassa1790]

Felix, I can't decide between this and the hydra synth. It will be my main synth, I've got an Octatrack and Digitakt and need something that does a lot of sounds. I've got a Keystep 37 and play without PC. Can you help?

[@alexyoungbased]

I’ve got the same setup, with a rev2. It’s super sweet. Rev2 covers all bases pretty much.

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

I personally didn‘t test out the hydra synth but as I said in the video, the Prophet is my favorite Polysynth atm so I‘d say you can‘t go wrong with that. Also if you are into CS80 style vintage vibes, the Rev2 allows for „vintage voice modelling“ through its gated sequencer, detuning every voice individually a slight bit for a more organic sound. Unfortunately I only found out about that after the video. A channel called „Creative Spiral“ has a great tutorial about how to do it on the Rev2. Best, Felix

[@kierenmoore3236]

@@ThomannSynthesizers. I was going to mention Creative Sporal / the sequencer technique to you … “This is the way.”

[@OjaySynthson]

Hey! I discovered that the charming noise generated by the dist pedal, can be taken out by sidechaining the electricity only of the dist pedal with another pedal so they can distribute the mA entering to a single pedal. *I think the reason of the "charming noise" comes from having too much mA of an eliminator coming to a analog pedal, when the analog pedals only need around 30mA, when the eliminators have 250mA or smtn around that.

[@d3tuned378]

Did I hear that correctly? This synth has the equivalent of an "LFO start position / start position error" knob? Also is LFO phase the same thing as LFO start position?

[@Redarmywhorah]

He called the rev2 an entry-level synth...idk bout that one man

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

To be fair, I called it „dave smiths entry level poly synth“ because its their „budget“ option in that category. But sure, neither Dave Smith Synths nor Polysynths are usually entry level synths per se :D

[@Redarmywhorah]

@@ThomannSynthesizers hahaha just pulling your leg! def took value from the video and will be putting it to use on my rev2!

@@ThomannSynthesizers Hahaha! :)

[@moresynths]

Nice if you have 3 LFOs...

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

The main idea of this video isn‘t dependent on wether you have 3 LFO‘s. It‘s about the approach of creating imperfection. Also as I said in the video, you can use the izotope vinyl plugin for subtle pitch modulation and this one is completely free. Best, Felix

[@theclaverman]

I really wish my Prophet 6 had more than 1lfo🥲It still sounds beatiful though…

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

I guess the gras is always greener on the other side :D In case you didn‘t know about the Prophet 6 Software Update from some months ago I recommend you to check out a video by Jamiroquai‘s Matt Johnson called „Sequential Prophet 6 with Vintage Mode, twice the Synth it was?“ Almost made me sell my Rev 2 when I saw that, but I managed to find a workaround using the gated sequencer. Best, Felix :)

[@theclaverman]

@@ThomannSynthesizers Yep I was pretty quick to update after the release. The vintage mode on the P6 is totally awesome:-)
