Premium sound usually comes at a cost, but the Prophet Rev2 has been expertly engineered to give you much more for far less. Available in either 8 or 16 voice models, Rev2 allows for complex chords and arrangements, and its bi-timbral operation lets you comfortably play two completely different analog sounds simultaneously.
With its expansive sonic range, stemming from 16 voices of polyphony, dual DCOs with waveshape modulation, and a sub-oscillator, the Prophet Rev2 has provided artists with rich analog tones and reliable performance for nearly a decade. This synthesizer consistently delivers, empowering creators to focus on their art.
The Prophet Rev2 introduces a powerful and unique feature: waveshape modulation. This allows you to adjust the “pulse width” of any of its four classic waveforms, either manually with the Shape Mod control or by using another modulation source to continuously vary the timbre. This feature adds new depth and dimension to even single-oscillator sounds.
The Prophet Rev2 achieves its punchy and present sound through its switchable 2/4 pole, resonant low-pass filter. This Curtis filter, from the Prophet ’08 and classic instruments from the 70s and 80s, shapes the Rev2′s forward and modern sonic character. More than just a subtractive tool, you can even use filter FM to introduce harmonic complexity when desired.
The Rev2’s bi-timbral capability lets you play two different presets at once. Stack mode layers both patches for richer sounds, while Split assigns one program to the lower keyboard section and another to the upper, perfect for playing a bass line alongside your chords. In Multi Mode, the Prophet Rev2 responds to MIDI, allowing independent control of each bi-timbral part.
The Prophet Rev2 features a wealth of synthesis tools to bring your sounds to life, including waveshape modulation, the clear and precise Curtis filter, and an extensive modulation matrix with 8 slots, 22 sources, and 53 destinations available. Add in 4 LFOs and 3 envelopes (one looping), and you have the ingredients to design a wide range of animated, creative, and musical sounds.
The Rev2 enjoys an abundance of sounds across a wide range of genres, thanks to a vibrant third-party sound bank community where presets are available for purchase separately. You’ll find ready-made options for any musical style, from classic synth recreations to sounds on the bleeding edge—new inspiration is just a preset away.

In addition to the conventional Glide Time mode, the Rev2 offers Glide Rate, which adjusts the duration of note transitions based on the interval between notes. With four distinct Glide modes at your disposal, you can achieve the perfect level of nuance for your performance.
Unison mode transforms the Rev2 into a powerful monophonic synthesizer, allowing you to stack up to 16 voices on one note for an incredibly dense sound. Tame the beast by controlling the number of voices, note priority, and by adjusting the Unison detune amount.
Featuring an 8-slot modulation matrix with 22 sources and 53 destinations, the Rev2 empowers you to craft truly epic and inventive sounds. Experiment with audio rate modulation on the filter to add some edge, or create intriguing timbral movements with shape modulations on the oscillators. The sonic possibilities are vast.
With four LFOs, the Rev2 offers much more flexibility for introducing movement into your sound. And their ability to modulate at audio rates allows for the creation of wild and innovative timbres. This makes the Rev2 perfect for a wide array of sound options, from organic pads to spacey sound effects.
The Rev2’s Clock section is essential for creating rhythmic patterns with the Arpeggiator and Sequencer. You can also sync LFOs and effects to the Clock for musical modulation and delay times.
The Prophet Rev2’s arpeggiator is a versatile tool for creating rhythmic patterns, and the Hold function lets you latch the arpeggiation, freeing your hands for other tasks. It’s perfect for quickly adding depth and complexity to your music.
Rev2 features two distinct types of sequencer to expand your creative possibilities. The 1-track, 64-step polyphonic sequencer creates repeating patterns of chords and melodies, while the 4-track, 16-step gated sequencer is ideal for modulation patterns and rhythmic triggers. And with bi-timbral independence, each layer can have its own sequencer settings, allowing for inspired, complex compositions.
The Rev2’s dual analog DCOs, sub oscillator, and noise generator form the foundation of its versatile sound. Its digitally controlled analog oscillators offer selectable waveforms like sawtooth, triangle, and pulse, with shape modulation capabilities that extend beyond typical VCOs. Use hard sync for rich overtones, the sub oscillator to add depth, and the noise generator for texture. With these creative possibilities, the Rev2 is perfect for crafting dynamic and expressive sounds.
The Rev2’s classic Curtis low-pass filter is key to sculpting its ear-catching sound. Switch between 2-pole and 4-pole modes for flexible frequency control and use Resonance to emphasize frequencies or even drive the filter into screaming self-oscillation. With velocity sensitivity, keyboard tracking, and Audio Mod creating complex harmonic effects, the Rev2’s filter offers a powerful set of tools for crafting expressive new sounds.
Use delays, chorus, phasers, flangers, and reverb to polish your tone, or bypass the effects for a pure analog signal. Utilize Rev2’s two effect slots (one for each bi-timbral sound layer), modulatable effect parameters, and precise tempo synchronization to add double the depth and ambience to its rich analog sound.
The Rev2 gives you an Auxiliary Envelope that has five-stages (Delay, Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) and you can route it to any destination in the modulation matrix to further transform your patch. You can even use the looping function to change it into a cyclical modulation, perfect for creating dynamically evolving sounds.
The Prophet Rev2 features 512 expertly crafted factory presets and 512 user programs, offering a host of sounds that cover a wide range of musical styles. Easily tweak to taste or create new sounds with the intuitive top panel controls.
Increase Pan Spread to create a wide, immersive soundscape, perfect for pads, chords, and arpeggios. Modulate Pan for dynamic movement, adding interest and breadth. Whether subtly widening a sound or creating dramatic effects, Pan Spread is a powerful tool for crafting expressive spatial textures.
Express yourself with the Rev2’s 5-octave premium Fatar keyboard, featuring semi-weighted action, velocity sensitivity, and aftertouch. Effortlessly customize its response to match your playing style. Combined with comprehensive performance controls, the Rev2’s keyboard creates a deep connection between you, the instrument, its sounds, and your music.
The Prophet Rev2’s MIDI capabilities enhance your musical experience with seamless control to and from external devices, synchronization with other equipment, and expressive modulation through MIDI messages like Pitch Wheel and Aftertouch. Its USB MIDI integration simplifies DAW connectivity, making it an indispensable tool for both studio and stage.
Use an expression pedal to dynamically adjust filter cutoff, volume, or other modulations, and a sustain pedal for traditional sustain functions. Additionally, the sequencer pedal jack allows hands-free control of the internal sequencer, perfect for live performances and synchronized setups.
Rev2’s output jacks offer exceptional flexibility for musicians. The Main/A outputs deliver the primary stereo signal, while the B Audio outputs allow separate routing of Layer B when using the Rev2’s bi-timbral capabilities. This enables independent mixing and processing of each layer, providing greater control over your sound in both studio and live performance environments.
