I'm asking advice here because it is sounding kind of thin and I have used other DCO synths in the past that don't sound as thin. I'm wondering if it is the new components need to be broken in and aged, or was it designed like that?
Here at 8:15.... That sounds super thin....

I just want to know if it will get thicker as the instrument ages and I use it. I use to plug that JX 10 into this tube amp that a lot and use it. I think it had a bad ground or something and maybe it warmed up the components in there compared with other JX 10's? Anyway I am wondering what other people's experience is with this.
Are there capacitors and things in here that need to be broken in by use? becasue I remember the Jx 10 just kept getting better and better before broke it trying to install that Vecoven mod.

No it won't change significantly over time. The Rev2 can sound absolutely thick and immense. But you have to program it carefully to do so. It is not an instant gratification synth, and it is very definitely not a vintage synth. You need to approach programming it much more like a Nord - thickness is in the understanding of the program. This is a feature, not a bug - the Rev2 is a surgical precision analog synth and can be carefully tweaked much like a VST to fit perfectly in a mix or to roar on its own. But - again - this is up to the programmer to create the depth they want.

Yeah I noticed that. The filter will clip or distort and give off high freq if I don't program it just so.... If you look at a picture of the inside of a Roland Jx 10 it is full of capacitors, which makes sense.

I like to take advantage of the rev2 strengths.
I’ll use it mostly for mid-high frequency sounds. I have other synths that are strong in the low end.
The rev2 has a nice sharp sound that cuts well thru a mix and those tend to be the sounds I use it for.

yeah it has nice sounds and Is useful I will admit... I can get bass out of it too, but not at the same time. I can make the filter do bass, but it masks up the osc... or if i try to go between filter and bass high and open the transition is kind of rough.
I'm open to trying new things.... Add a cap here or there to make it better:

I don't think it sounds thin. It can blow you speakers out of the box. A lot of people think more oscillators equals more bass. Actually 1 oscillator (with or without sub) is much fatter. Try it. A second out of sync oscillator will always cancel out something.

Yes. You can close the filter and make it swell up...
The patch I used was based off this patch here: ...the osc section just tweaked the filter a little bit and envelopes...
https://youtu.be/zq0L87ribY4 (https://youtu.be/zq0L87ribY4)
Don't you think the osc... are a little harsh? Just like up above.
This is straight into the mic input of a old intel all in one HP someone gave me... It's a POS... ,so it makes it sound abnormaly harsh, but it was harsh to begin with.
https://youtu.be/uezDod1yxbU
low volume input normalize a/d
a lot of lows and bass get cut out in a-d there may be a hpf, but that doesn't change the fact that there aren't enough capacitors and the osc are thin and harsh. For Prophet Rev2 to survive in a digital world full of Korg Prolouges, Moog Ones and Polybrutes; high pass filters and lousy encoders... It needs more caps.
-
this is a patch here that would work much better if there were some bigger caps in there. Now I'm not an engineer so I don't know the details, but....
https://youtu.be/c1RD8msZt-k
that low end crackle is the crappy a/d conversion, but that high end crackle happening is happening on the voice board.
RCA tape out 10' to a 25' 1/8th analog cable to mic input.
-
I think you have no idea what you're talking about, frankly.
-
I think you have no idea what you're talking about, frankly.
Than are you denying the distortion in the video? or the fact that the osc sound abnormal thin. Capacitors are cushions.
I have recordings of other DCO analog polys with big capacitors and different things that sound much much thicker. They said rev2 was perfect. I think a few more capacitors here and there would hold the sound a little bit better and make it easier to mix.
Go ahead prove me wrong. There are things that the Rev2 dose very well, but capacitors are cheap!
-
The audio examples in those videos do sound bad but I suspect that’s more a problem with your audio routing and what’s being used to process the audio then the rev2 maybe. I’ve had a rev2 8 voice for a few years and now a fairly new Rev2 16 and both never had that amount of distortion/crackle sound to them.
Those video examples sound like something is not right.

if you turn down the volume it doesn't crackle in the top of the filter, but than I lose to much in the bass department and lose a lot of grit and dirt and character that made that patch sound interesting. I played it for like 15 mins after that with headphone straight in and it got smoother becasue I had to turn the volume down... not voice board per se..., but I 'm not getting enough out of the osc section right now. I'll keep working it. Jx 10 had this analog stereo chorus built in so I have to take that into consideration.
like if it had bigger capacitors than there would be more sonicly that the rev2 could hit the a/d converter with. Right now it sounds thin. Go back to the first video. It's all the same a/d converter.... Evan the old JX 10 recordings I was plugging a cassette tape straight into a 1/8th analog mic... I had a HP g70 Intel duo core... But all Intel so this is similiar.
If you go back to that first video... There are some big capacitors involved [big compared to prophet rev2] before the sound hits the a/d converter... And at the end the rev 2 next to guitar sounding thin. A single coil Stratocaster.
I guess the amplification system all the way from the osc. section to the output needs to be tuned up with bigger caps. This is the limit of my knowledge because I'm not an engineer.
Here is a version where I mixed slightly differently and bypassed some preamps and went strait into a/d from mixer.... I turned the bass up 4db toi make up four lousy a/d converter, but this certain part with the bass guitar I did doesn't come through as clearly that is why I had originally not posted it.

I think that ryankm is pulling our chains... Lousy a/d converters wouldn't make a bit (pun intended) of difference with that kind of random noise. ::)

There are loads of capacitors in that picture, it's just that they're SMD's... and just HOW do you think "bigger caps" would make the Rev2 better sounding? Did you just open an OLD synth, visually notice the bigger capacitors and conclude they're responsible for the synths sound? It's generally not a good idea to "add a cap here or there", as these are intricately designed CIRCUITS. You do know many old synths get re-capped, for worn-out caps? With something as simple as a passive low- or highpass filter circuit, sure, you can change a cap or resistor to change the cutoff points, but most beyond that is no go for me... The Rev2, as many other newer synths, are designed to be STABLE and RELIABLE, DIGITALLY controlled expecting a proper circuit, and NOT "vintage" (in the sense of unstable and unreliable). If that's what you're after, get a vintage synth instead, or program the Rev2 to sound more vintage-y, there are several ways. Mine certainly doesn't sound "thin"...
https://somanytech.com/smd-capacitor-surface-mount-capacitor/
Resistors, too, used to be a lot bigger, just have a look at old 70's synths... does that mean the resistors "sound better", just because they're BIGGER? No. They're still just resistors, just as capacitors are just capacitors. The actual size doesn't really matter, as long as they're spec'ed high enough to handle whatever is required for the circuit. The RIGHT value of Farads for the job, and a high enough Voltage-tolerance for the particular circuit (or they may explode, which you DON'T want). I've modded electrical fly-swatters into wasp-terminators with HUGE film capacitors that handle 2000V but still are only 470nF, only reason being that they're less likely to explode, as the output produced is about a million Volts or so, enough to explode a wasp, and the bang enough to make your heart jump. If you look at the chart linked above, there are SMD caps at 6800nF, and they're a LOT smaller than my 470nF's, like 1000x smaller. So size isn't necessarily an indicator of anything, especially not on modern synths that mostly operate at low voltages, with little risk of blowing capacitors. What difference would a "bigger" cap do? The output levels are ALREADY very HOT all through the Rev2 board.
If anything, "add a cap here or there", will likely just mess up the circuit and something will break sooner rather than later, without benefits. Unless you REALLY know what you're doing, like if you understand the full circuit of the Rev2, I'd strongly advice against trying to modify it. But hey, I'm no engineer either, though the fly-swatters I mod only cost $5, and the Rev2 is a bit more... Anyhow, good luck with those caps!

Yeah, I got that from the audio clips in the original post. This thread is one big troll.
-
I think you have no idea what you're talking about, frankly.
Reading the other posts now, yeah!! I Agree!
A capacitor has a purpose, the keep the voltage for a bit, depending on the capacity, longer or shorter, that is for DC. In the LP circuit it is a sort of resistor for which the resistance depends on the frequency of the signal, they call it impedance., that is for AC. The higher the frequency, the more is drained to the ground.
The size doesn't change the sound, the capacity maybe. But not necessarily in a good way. Also depends on what type of low pass filter we are talking about.
From what I hear in the video is that you don't need more capacitors, you need more cowbell!!!

Someting I did a while ago. Nothing special and not mastered. Straight from the REV2 to the tracks in Cubase and exported the wav file. Be careful with your speakers. It has way too much low-end (too many capacitors).

Thanks guys for the feedback and info. Ill come back here and sum up all the info when I get more computer time... No need to worry about blowing up amps. I do most my listening on a bluetooth speaker and i have a stereo tube amp that I put a maxed out really heavy speaker load on that can pretty much eat any signal ever synthesized. A technichian is working on my tube amp right now and going to replace all the caps. He explained a bit how it worked but i have concussion right now im dealing with and cant drink right now so ill look forward to hearing it again when I pick it up.
Here is a track of Prophet rev2 next to chroma polaris runiing off tape over tube amp and recorded with cell phone and digitaly mastered....
News Flash: Prophet Rev2 sounds thin... and is easy to distinguish against the Fender Polaris's VCO wich is not neccisarily known for being thick.
fyi there are 2 seperate prophet rev2 tracks in this all 16 voice mode. and one fender chroma polaris... i happen to like dco's in a mix where vcos sound pretty there is something about dco's that are fun.

I post this here becUse they sound thin in a good way where it kind of helps the rest of evrything going on with out dominating. I also have it doing bass stuff in bottem end to, but if you notice the Polaris is much more dominant here. A further in depth analysis will show that it is the filter that is doing all the work of making the prophet bassy and thick where as naked the osc themselves seem thin.

Well, there is some awesome Postmodernism going on here, but I'm not sure whether I mean the writing, the performance as a whole (inc. posts and links), or (less likely) the linked tracks. The linked audio augments the written performance beautifully. "Bravo!" but not "Encore!"...

yes, yes... I am well aware that there is a lot of work i need to do on my end before we go there, but now I am thinking it is broken again....

I was listening to this. It was one of the first things I made with it. I had a new computer too differrent from now. A motherboard with 6 audio capacitors... amd 3960x processor... I was experimenting in audacity with 768khz audio project and I blasted the mic input with audio from a mixer with the prophet rev2...
now i still have this patch and i may of had the signal overdriven, but it doesn't sound like that at all anymore... a lot thinner or smaller and it crinkly...
https://youtu.be/rHG-iTfFhGI
I play the original patch the way it was intended and then I open up the filter and it is a square saw sync and it sounds like the square wave is messed up. Either way it is super thin compared to as with before. Like something is broken now.
I closed the filter more turned up the volume a little bit and tweaked the envelope and will reveal that some nasty little sounds get through that weren't there before. Sounds broken to me.
https://youtu.be/fKAWLl-DMgs
Now what I do remember when I made that patch is that I had it at max volume and I was trying to make this fat key patch that I could like sub bomb bass things with my left hand and play keys with the right. It was the first time I sat there and tryed to get something out of the filter like that and I had it pushed to the max.

I think you're using Sequential product forums as your own personal marketing outlet for a new and yet to be considered artform, and that you have no genuine interest in solving anything or gaining understanding -- it seems more like an attempt at a confusion generation channel for your own amusement. Points for creativity, I will give you that, but I think there are places your efforts would be appreciated rather than ignored; you have to understand that many folks here are in search of things like information about Sequential products or understanding or at least something resembling common ground, so I hope you won't be disappointed by the net result if you try to pioneer something that nobody here is likely to latch onto.

You think that it is I am doing that, but there are other forums for that purpose.. I post stuff on reddit and vintage synth exploerer... It is not a new genre it's an old genre... Just psychedelich music. They didnt have 16 voice analog synthesizers in the 60's. They had VOX organs.
Anyway if you listen closely to the sound that I uploaded today the small clips especially the last one... There are artifacts. Like the filter is 95 percent closed but the osc still come through a bit in background and you can here distortion. it wasnt like that at first. I use to live downtown and they hated me there and there were abunch of kidz living in the building. I think they may have gone up there and plugged it into the wrong channel of one of my old amplifiers and fried something...
because after that maybe week or two weeks later I couldnt do that anymore and I had to lower the pitch of the osc.'s.
in the last soundbite there is clear artifacts and diatortion happening that is more obvious through headphones. Im not talking about clicking from envelope lag... but it sounds like stuff is getting through the filter that shouldnt be and the pulse sync might be messed up. right around 26 seconds there is a clear obvious that something isn't right.
jus try'n to get evrything straight for I make a ticket y'all c
another bad sign... is that i am trying to calibrate and it wont calibrate....

I’ve started using the Tri+Saw much more nowadays; it’s definitely a thicker oscillator. Try that!

Do you have the 16 voice version of the Rev2? I recently installed a voice expansion card into my Rev2, but once it was installed it sounded similar to the crackling/distorting in your videos. At first it sound fine, but gradually began to sound like a few of your examples - even at low volumes with a closed filter. I contacted Sequential’s support where a very smart person walked me through reopening the synth and re-seating the voice card more securely. Your videos sound like the voice card may have been jarred loose? I don’t think you’re trolling - your Rev2 sounds quite a bit off and definitely file a ticket with support.

Accually I just did that. I was through this once before and when it wouldnt calibrated it I did that and now it sounds thicker. The filter and envelopes are much fuller now. This problems stemmed all the way back to October... There are kids in the building I wasbstaying at and I kniw one of them stole my wallet. They probably heard me playing something really cool and came up when Inwas gone. Now I was using an old amp that needed repair because I surmise they must of used the auxillary input and not the tape. Auxillary works but sends 120v ac down the inputs and is hard on electronics. I also use a different synth now that wasnt the midi controller that was causing problems. I evan had to send it back to Sequential over the winter because I my self used the headphone output to the auxilarry channel and it fried a chip dealing specifically with headphone output and they accually replaced it with a new one soldered in on that tiny pcb and evrything. That was a mistake by me. Lots of weird stuff happening and i wasnt thinking clear.
I thought I had had that resolved.... but apperently something was wrong because I got it calibrating again and now it sounds better as I have never had it before. Ill just realibrate it more often keep the circuits in tune more often. This happens as you push boundaries... Needless to say I am having an amp technician refurbish the amp and I moved out of that building in the ghetto. I had to get rid of all my computers beacsue they were tampered with and the one I still have is toxic so I can only use it for short periods. I have to do most of my buisness from a samsung note 10+. Sending those recordings in wae dangerous for my health as a result of running the computer. This one was a backup that I had laying around and not nearly has toxic as the ones I was using before. the longer the computer runs the more radioactive it gets... So ill let it sit for another week and get a half hour....
and before anyone says anything, i have a geiger counter and the longer the computer was on the more rads it put out... Not only would it fill my lungs with sticky black toxic tar that you could not see or taste or smell, but it made me dizzy and killed all my plants. This went on for 2 years before i knew where it came from.
All I can say is cops are dirty people are dirty... wtf!!!
That original patch sounds much fuller now and I havent changed.... I started layering to, but evan with out the 2nd layer it sounds fuller still...
I started with that patch that I was using called synthkeys... This is direct ins to 1/8th analog mic input from rev2 with some t8 layers in there for fun. I ordered a new mixer too as I sold the one from before. ill ground this one to a cold water pipe; that should help.

This Prophet Rev2 has been through a lot of trauma in the last year so it is nice having it healthy and ill continue it in being healthy for a more happy life.

From what I've read in this sometimes confusing thread so far, I say that it's not only your REV2 that might have been through a lot of trauma? But as long as it turned out okay, that's the important thing. ;-)

Indeed... but props to "notnmyhouse" for joining this forum to make that post, coincidentally just as you had solved your problem the same way... what a coincidoink! :o
Good to hear anyhow! I hope a moderator can now mark this thread as "solved" and hopefully lock it too, if possible. If not, it'll hopefully fade into obscurity in any case, as there couldn't possibly be anything more to be said on topic, or hardly anything off topic either for that matter.
Either way, I, for one, am out of here! :)
