What connections does it have?
It features MIDI In, Out, and Thru ports, a main stereo audio output (1/4" unbalanced), an additional Output B stereo audio output (1/4" unbalanced), a sustain pedal input (accepts normally on or off momentary footswitches), and a pedal/CV input for expression pedal control.
How many voices does it have?
The Prophet REV2 Desktop Module has 8 voices of polyphony. These can be used for playing chords, stacked to create two separate 8-voice layers for complex textures, or split across the keyboard to create two independent 4-voice instruments.
What is waveshape modulation?
Waveshape modulation is a feature unique to the REV2 that allows you to vary the harmonic content of any of the four oscillator waveforms (sawtooth, saw+triangle mix, triangle, square). You can manually adjust the shape or use modulation sources like LFOs to create continuously evolving timbres, adding depth even to single-oscillator sounds.
Can I use Prophet '08 sounds with this module?
Yes, you can download and use any existing Prophet '08 sound libraries. They will sound identical on the REV2 and can be further enhanced using the new features like waveshape modulation, additional effects, and the expanded modulation matrix.
What type of filters does it use?
It uses authentic analog Curtis low-pass filters, with one filter per voice. These can be switched between 2-pole and 4-pole operation, with self-resonance available in 4-pole mode. These are the same filters used in the original Prophet '08 and many classic vintage synthesizers.
