Very happy to include this for my live shows.

I am violinist, pianist and added electronic elements to live show with Prophet Rev2, very happy about the outcome. Strongly recommended if you are into production and want to add electronic touches to your music.

Flawless

80's actual sound, a stairway to heaven of synths. I'm really happy with this purchase and I think I don't need any other synth ,but this is absolutely shot in the head. It took time to edit my own presets after an user friendly process. Smooth keys. Flawless...

A good synth, but not very user friendly

A staple synth to have in the studio. Great for pads and ambience, lots of richness and depth in the sound. Leads are ok, nothing amazing in my opinion compared to other synth that are way cheaper (Prologue).

The keys are way too sensitive. I understand they are weighed and supposed to fee like a piano but this is not a Nord and you don't want to play it like a piano. Other pet peeve is that the huge amount of presets are not organised in a comprehensive way, you have to browse through so many presets to just find a simple lead, or an pad. It can be very time consuming! I like this synth but it is just not ergonomic enough compared to what is being made nowadays.

Perfect DCO synth

There's not much that can be said that hasn't already. It's a great synth!

For me, VCO's are just too unstable for what I do and so the Rev2 is a perfect DCO synth for sitting in a clean, modern, in-tune mix. Plays very well with VST's! Heaps of modulation options make this a sound designers dream.

The build quality is superb, and even the pcb-mount knobs have a satifying resistance to them. Makes a great midi controller too, with its superb fatar keybed and masses of assignability.

No problems with voice limits so far as I use it in the studio, though live players that use the dual layer feature or play complex chords with long releases may want to look at the 16 due to potential voice stealing.

Innumerable Capabilities

Great built, rock solid I would say, knobs feel sturdy, keys have also a nice smooth feeling. Sounds amazing and modulation can take patches to whole next level. It is an 80's sound feeling synth that can open up a far wider sonic enviroment to your music, Overall great purchase, I highly recommend.

Cool synth, distinctive sound

This is my first analog synth and it's indeed a very good synth. I play in an alternative rock band as keybordist and Prophet rev2 has a sound that goes perfectly well with the type of music I play. It's never too jazz-y nor too electric-y. But the richness of its sound feature sometimes can be too much if the band already has a second guitar or that someone has to give way anyway. But Prophet rev2 really has a nice and distinctive sound that stand itself out from other synth. It's also very easy to use, very intuitive. There's only one thing to complain - if only it has a looper.

You wont regret it

When i was looking for a polysynth this one was on the top of my list.

I have it now for a year or so and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for nice warm analog sounds and a lot of flexibility. So good, so intuitive, no cons imo
