AWESOME SYNTH! Terrible Quality Control.
22 August 2018jamesstepman

originally posted on proaudiostar.com

The sounds are amazing, everything and more than I expected, but the reverb is a joke.The main problem is the potentiometers (knobs) are really lousy, some are not as good as others in the sense that some wobble. Feels like they were made in China. I sense that they are not fixed to the chassis, rather to the circuit board beneath the chassis, which is pliable, so the knobs don't have a solid feel. Also the knobs are so tiny that it's hard to get a slow rotation, although the rotation is relatively smooth. Dave Smith! $2000 for this? REALLY?!! Thanks a lot for the scam on the cheesy knobs dude. Could have been the best synth on the market, but you ruined it.

This leads to needing a way to keep track, outside of the synth, of your user Programs to not save over your stuff.An onboard EQ would be hugely advantageous, as the levels vary widely between patches and I found myself constantly fiddling with the 3-band on my mixer.The keyboard itself felt great. Velocity, responsiveness, aftertouch. All of it.I guess bottomline is the that it sounded and felt great but the user interface was such a huge turn off (as well as the sounds being limited for my personal taste)- I traded it in for a japanese-brand digital fm synth.

Ever wanted a Prophet-5? Buy this and I'd say your over 95% there. I own both and love this keyboard!

Nothing compares to a good old American-designed analog synth with Curtis filters. Dave and his Sequential gang built a killer synth here. Buy the 16-voice, don't skimp and get the 8, unless you plan to upgrade it later. Splits are great but layers are gargantuan. 80's dreamland and so far beyond. Built in FX aren't the best you've ever heard but they are very usable and can very per layer / split part, and let's face it, you aren't buying this thing for its effects. Might just be my new desert island synth.

Everything working right out of the box.Specs like 8 modulation matrix slots does not do it justice.You have plenty more, since all 4 LFO's can be routed directly to a parameter with amount, Aux Env as well and a bunch of parameters, think it was 5 more, below the 8 matrix slots. And still the 4 gated sequencers can also be routed directly if you don't need scaling with amount and just numbers are ok.Then two layers having all this, making 8 voices each layer still awesome playability.Also find factory presets very useful, maybe not for playing as are, but to give ideas how to use the various options there are. How did they do this swirling effect there etc.And it sounds fantastic.

How did they do this swirling effect there etc.And it sounds fantastic. Personally I don't use effects so much, I like the raw sound more and to add in computer and the context it is playing.Nice copying options back and forth between layers, so you could create two voice unison modifying one layer a bit, or use as two complete synths. You can also set dual timbre to play as two different synths, even though it's own outputs if you want.One thing I miss is polyunison, where each key down use up as many voices are left, kind of. Unison is all or nothing, with a setting of number of voices, but it is always mono. Doing dual layer though remedy that to an extent.Saving options with preview of slot you are to overwrite are very smooth.Unless you are using playing filter resonance on pitch it is not sensitive to termperature due to DCO's. So no need to calibrate or warm up really, just start the fun.I saved one star for price if it was cheaper. But worth every penny now that 16-voice is not more than €100 more than 8-voice version.

Great product - consider the 16 voice model
8 June 2018

If you commit to spending a little time on this synthesizer you can get comfortable with the workflow for designing new patches using the variety features the Pro Rev 2 has. I purchased the 8 voice unit and in retrospect wish I had just spent the extra cash and purchased the 16 because many of the really solid patches you will create use the Stack feature which immediately leaves you with 4 voices per stacked output. Not a big issue but if you then want to play a 2 note bass and three note chord (ex. on a String or Pad like sound) you don't have enough voices and one of those notes will be chopped. Things like this are not evident until realize that after programming and building some patches in order to make the sound 'big'. Fortunately DSI provides an 8 voice ... MoreIf you commit to spending a little time on this synthesizer you can get comfortable with the workflow for designing new patches using the variety features the Pro Rev 2 has.

Overall the quality of the unit is superb, and the synth engine is great for a 2 OSC + Sub synth.

Review of Dave Smith Prophet REV2 Poly Synth 16 Voice
17 January 2020

Haven't scratched the surface with this beast yet and already I'm in love. For a start, it's built like a tank- really sturdy. Lovely finish and wood cheeks. No idea what varnish the use at the factory, but it smells like an old chip shop at first haha (it does go away after an hour or two though). Key bed feels lovely, a joy to play. Naming the patches can be a smidge cumbersome but the small screen wasn't hard to read as some reviewers have made out. Personally I quite like how the screen doesn't invade the front panel and encourages you to be more hands-on. The essentials require little to no menu diving in order to get a great sounding patch- perfect for an old analogue head like me!I can honestly say that the decision to go for the 16 voice version was worth ... MoreHaven't scratched the surface with this beast yet and already I'm in love.

It offers up a lot more flexibility, especially with the sequencers and unison mode. having a bass or lead sound with 16 voice unison is pretty huge. Filter takes some getting used to in order to find the sweet spots, but the routing you can do with it is immensely fun.The weakest thing for me is the effects. Don't get me wrong they're fine and absolutely usable. They're just all that inspiring and not overly customisable. Plus only having one effect per layer is really limiting. I plan to put this synth through my pedal board anyway so not a major issue for me, but I can't help but wonder what this synth would be like if it had the effects engine that the Behringer Deepmind 12 has...But as far as the synth itself is concerned, it's phenomenal.

Solid Sequential "Prophet" Sound
7 July 2022

I had one of these for many years and I did like it. But it was expensive, and therefore I had a lot of my "musical eggs" in this one basket. This turned out not to be a good thing: because the Prophet cost so much, it was difficult to fill in the sonic palette in areas where it was lacking later on.Think about it. The Prophet is a good solid machine, intuitive and easy to program, and has pretty good sounds overall. Yet something is missing here. And not everyone understands that it will be missing when they buy one.What is that something? Well, it's the bass sounds mostly, and the other "synth primitives" that you could easily do on a Minimoog or a Behringer Model D. The Prophet just doesn't do these, mostly. After all, it's an 80's polysynth. Only a step up ... MoreI had one of these for many years and I did like it. But it was expensive, and therefore I had a lot of my "musical eggs" in this one basket.

It is not the "synth panacea" you might be thinking it will be for your studio. It does the "Prophet Sound". And it does that well.But it does only that. Don't expect it to do more.

Overall:Let me start by saying I own many Moog synthesizers and love them all. I’m a huge fan of the 80’s synth pop sound and electronic ambient music. I debated for awhile about getting a DSI instrument but now that I have one I’m wondering why I waited so long. This is a stunning instrument that bridges the gap I had in my music. The DSI with the Moogs is territory that will be explored for many years. The build quality is superb on the Rev2. All metal chassis and gorgeous wooden end caps. All knobs are tight to the turn and some are tactile. Even resistance between all the knobs on my unit.

The OLED screen may be small but it serves it purpose fine and its crystal clear. Perfect really. The key bed action is very nice. Not to light and not to heavy. Has a nice resistance to key press. The sounds are incredible with the 16 voice unit I ordered. Plenty of user memory space for creating your own patches. Be sure and download the original Prophet 08 patches from DSI web. Greatness!Well, off to making more luscious sounds and diving deeper into this masterpiece!

This synth is truly amazing
4 March 2024

I went to the new store to find a new synth after a couple of years with a Korg Minilogue. Immediately I was drawn to the amazing tones, easily playability and great features of the Rev2. I kept going to other synths but always found my way back to this one so I just had to buy it. After taking it home and using it in my new songs I can confidently say that I made the right choice! The sound is great, the features are amazing and the presets are super fun. The manual is also an incredible wealth of cool sound creation and reading it multiple times I still get new info from it.

Amazing instrument. I have been an old school analog synth fan since waaay back and I am finally able to add this to my studio. DSI has done an amazing job here. All of the sonic fascinations imaginable (and would expect); the utterly mind blowing vastness of subtle possibilities are contained in an instrument that is amazingly well built. Simply put...solid. It feels good, all of the controls have that "will be around for a long time" tactile sensation that your fingers sing when you first start twisting knobs. I spent 6 hours straight, plinking around and scribbling notes the first day I opened the box. So impressed, that I bought a DSI OB6 within a week (yeah, I know).

(114 reviews)

The desktop module version of the Prophet Rev2 analog synthesizer features two DCOs per voice, Curtis filters along with digital effects, two types of sequencers, and other enhancements that make it even more powerful than its predecessor, the Prophet ’08. The Prophet Rev2’s sound comes from two DCOs per voice with four waveshapes (sawtooth, triangle, sawtooth + triangle, and pulse), a sub-octave generator and a 2/4 pole low-pass, resonant Curtis filter per voice. These are the same filters used in the Prophet ’08, and also in many classic instruments of the ’70s and ’80s. A new feature unique to the Prophet Rev2 is waveshape modulation. can vary the “pulse width” of any of the four waveforms by manually dialing in a desired waveshape width or by using an LFO or other modulation source for continuously shifting timbre. An effects section provides reverb, delays (standard and BBD), chorus, phase shifter, ring modulation and distortion, and iIn stacked or split voice mode, can apply a different effect to each layer. Effects parameters can be modulated through the mod matrix, which is twice as extensive as its predecessor, with 8 individual slots and many more sources/destinations. The new polyphonic step sequencer allows up to 64 steps and up to 6 notes per step. A different sequence can be created for each layer when working in stacked or split voice mode. The sequencer also functions as a modulation source, allowing to create up to 4 different 16-step sequences for complex modulation. Sequences allow ties and rests, and can sync to an external MIDI clock. The arpeggiator features note repeats, re-latching, and can be synced to external MIDI clock, as well. Other improvments include a premium-quality, ve-octave, semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch, an integrated power supply, USB support, and a crisp OLED display.

Sequences allow ties and rests, and can sync to an external MIDI clock. The arpeggiator features note repeats, re-latching, and can be synced to external MIDI clock, as well. Other improvments include a premium-quality, ve-octave, semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch, an integrated power supply, USB support, and a crisp OLED display.

The desktop module version of the Prophet Rev2 analog synthesizer features two DCOs per voice, Curtis filters along with digital effects, two types of sequencers, and other enhancements that make it even more powerful than its predecessor, the Prophet ’08. The Prophet Rev2’s sound comes from two DCOs per voice with four waveshapes (sawtooth, triangle, sawtooth + triangle, and pulse), a sub-octave generator and a 2/4 pole low-pass, resonant Curtis filter per voice. These are the same filters used in the Prophet ’08, and also in many classic instruments of the ’70s and ’80s. A new feature unique to the Prophet Rev2 is waveshape modulation. can vary the “pulse width” of any of the four waveforms by manually dialing in a desired waveshape width or by using an LFO or other modulation source for continuously shifting timbre. An effects section provides reverb, delays (standard and BBD), chorus, phase shifter, ring modulation and distortion, and iIn stacked or split voice mode, can apply a different effect to each layer. Effects parameters can be modulated through the mod matrix, which is twice as extensive as its predecessor, with 8 individual slots and many more sources/destinations.
