Sequential Prophet REV2-8 3-stars Reviews

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.

Not as good as you expect

I will be short. It is poorly built for such price. It became boring after 1 week as it is more limited then i expected. Sound quality is very good , bright and noiseless. However the 'Shaping' of the oscillators is a joke , the Triangle does not morph as expected instead the shaper just adds a simple square wave on top of it. Very dissapointed and sent it back.
