Prophet REV2-16 : Brilliant synth which could use a few future features to make it more briliant..

7 years ago

In short: great sounding synth. Very good build quality and nice keybed. Easy to use: one knob one function. Some menu diving required for configuration, but menu structure is a breeze to use.

Could use a transpose sequencer to make it perfect though.

Pro's

- Easy to use, nether need the manual

- Although the number of features seem limited at first, it offers enough flexibility without becoming overwhelming

Con's

- When you turn on the unison mode, you loose all polyphony. You can limited this affect by enabling split mode.

- There is no key triggered transpose for the poly sequencer. You use the gate sequencer as an alternative note sequencer with some limitations).

Update: I have tried several analogue synthesizers,but this is still the best for me. Its sound is stunning, especially with a good external reverb effect like Strymon BigSky
