Dave Smith Instruments Unveils Prophet Rev2 Desktop Module - Exclusive Pics

DSI has a new desktop synth! The official press release follows.

"Legendary Designer to Ship Desktop Version of 16-Voice Poly Synth in October

CA—August 29, 2017—Dave Smith Instruments today announced that they will begin shipping a desktop module version of their popular Prophet Rev2 analog synthesizer in October. Like the keyboard version, it features two DCOs per voice, Curtis filters, plus two types of sequencers, digital effects, and other enhancements designed to make it even more powerful that its predecessor, the now-retired Prophet ’08.

As Dave Smith explained: 'In the three months since its release, the Prophet Rev2 keyboard has been embraced by the music community in a very big way; it’s already appearing on a significant number of recordings and major stage tours.' Added Smith: 'With 16 voices to stack and split, it not only sounds huge, but it has an incredible range of sounds available.'

The essence of 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 not only in the Prophet ’08, but also in many classic instruments of the ’70s and ’80s. A new feature unique to the Prophet Rev2 is waveshape modulation. You 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. In stacked or split voice mode, you 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 you 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, five-octave, semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch, an integrated power supply, USB support, and a crisp OLED display.

'Apart from its awesome sound, a big part of the Rev2’s appeal is its ease of use, so we made sure that the desktop version retained all of the same front panel controls as the keyboard version. Whether you go for the keyboard or the desktop, the Rev2 is an amazing synth and an incredible musical workhorse,' said Dave Smith.

The Prophet Rev2 desktop module will be available in October of 2017 with a US MAP of $1,799. An 8-voice version will be available for $1,299 US MAP."

Prophet '08 Sawtooth Solo Patch

Published on Aug 28, 2017 Sacred Synthesis

"This improvisation is primarily for comparison purposes. I wanted the put an example of the Prophet '08's sawtooth solo right next to the recordings of the same patch from the Prophet 12. The comparison isn't quite fair, in that the P12 has four oscillators, whereas the P'08 has only two. Regardless, here they are side-by-side for the discriminating musical ear to judge. As usual, the patch uses the two pair of output jacks, and each layer is panned at the mixer for stereo depth.

The Poly Evolver Keyboard provides the string accompaniment throughout the piece.

Instrumentation:
DSI Prophet '08 Keyboard
DSI Poly Evolver Keyboard
DSI Poly Evolver Rack

Bass:
DSI Evolver Desktop
Hammond XPK 200L Pedalboard

External Effects:
Lexicon MX300 for reverb
Alesis Nanoverb 2 for delay

Performed and mixed live and recorded directly to a Tascam CD-RW900 Mk II.

Check out those side panels!  Likely helps protect the knobs as well as provide an aesthetic element.  Curious if they are meant to be picked up by them as well.
