"Sequential" Prophet Rev2??
« on: June 05, 2019, 06:08:52 AM »
A fellow on a Sequential Facebook group had his REV2 arrive. It came like this...with the Sequential logo over the old DSI one. I know Sequential stated they wouldn't be rebranding their older gear so I'm curious about this.

My understanding was that they would use the new name for newly build stuff. So yes, this REV2 is manufactured after the change.

Maybe it comes with both stickers so you can choose yourself ;-)

It could be even more fun: "Sequential Instrumental", "Dave Sequential Smith" or just "Dave".

On a more serious note: I assume the logo on the back panel has also changed?

Can you post a pic of the back?

What I'm most interested in is seeing a Sequential OB-6. A Sequential Tempest would be interesting as well.

I was looking for Pro~One parts a while back and found a supplier on eBay selling new Sequential and Pro~One aluminium plaques.

From the Sequential facebook page:

'In response to inquiries about instrument branding going forward, all future products will bear the Sequential brand. Products such as the Prophet Rev2, OB-6, Pro 2, Prophet 12, Mopho x4, and Tempest, which were originally branded as Dave Smith Instruments products, will continue to use the Dave Smith Instruments branding. Products currently branded as Sequential products, such as the Prophet X and Prophet-6, will continue to bear the Sequential brand.
Cheers,
Sequential'

Well that’s obviously not true consider the picture above.

even the image on the Sequential website has the old DSI logo.

The site has now been updated with the REV2 key/module both lacking a brand logo.

Yet another way in which the Prophet Rev2 differs from the Prophet '08.  And I've always preferred the P'08's more ornate lettering font.

I agree about the classic Prophet font.
