I'm loving the Rev2! I've adjusted to the smaller screen and the new method for checking the original setting of a parameter. I still prefer those functions/features on the '08, but I don't really think about it much anymore. I've now sold both '08's and was planning to purchase a Rev2 module to go with my keyboard version. In the meantime, I have been using all four outputs to get the full stereo sound. It sounds great, but of course, when set up this way, I can't use the second layer/splits.

Yes, that's the flaw in the method.  Using the B Output wreaks havoc on all your other programs.  And if you process each layer differently, as I do, then you also get imbalances in layer volume levels.  That was, in part, my reasoning in having two Prophet '08 Keyboards.  It's too complicated to continuously go back and forth with the output set up, so I leave the top instrument in that set up permanently, which makes an excellent mono synth, but at a poly synth price tag.

Thanks for the LFO tip!
I think you'll really like being able to program a different effect into each layer of the Rev2. It quickly makes most patches better. I also think you'll like being able to vary the width of all the waveforms, especially given how much you utilize waveshape modulation with pulse/square waves. The sub oscillator is also a nice addition; I like to dial in just a touch in order to add a little thickness to leads.

As I said, I'm using the B outputs, and so I adjusted most of my patches to put the same patch on both layers, which sounds fantastic. I'm trying to decide how much I miss having that extra layer and whether or not I need to get a Rev2 module. Most of the time I don't miss the extra layer, but of course that's a big feature to be without. At this point, I value the stereo spread more than I miss the extra layer.

Got around to firing up the PO8.  Still so pretty.  A sequence I was doing on it inspired the song.  Actually this is a DSI sampler:

Intro shimmer is P12 with a Pro 2 pad.  0:45 Timpani on P12.  0:58 Oooh voices is P12 with faint Pro  choir.  1:38 piano is P08 along with horns,pad, whistling.   2:30 P-12 pad climbing.  3:00 sequence on P12 ......   Then finally P08 back in at 3:38.

This is a leftover from a previous session.  Just the typical musical exercise.

hi all,

just wanted to add two tracks, that where mainly PRO 08... The first is utilizing a "live" player polyphonic sequence... it give that little nice shifting timings... on top a few add on sounds all from pro 08 (and a few beat sounds)

and a track that was also played live into the DAW (and then edited out the best parts... a friend played a violin on top (not the best take here... have to come back to it)... and i added a few "percussion" with made of a recorded case of a trombone opened and closed rythmical :;-))

Pulsefreqenz,

How do you do the "scratchy sound" that starts ~1:30 on the first track.   I listened thru headphones and I liked the stereo spread. 

The basses sounds great on the second track.  I like 'em both.

Hey everyone, my band is called I, Us, & We. We recorded and produced everything ourselves in my bedroom on an MBOX 2 with an ancient Mac Pro. All synths are hardware (specifically a prophet 08 on this one), all drums are triggered by a Trapkat. Song was mixed and mastered by a guy in London. Any questions or comments feel free.

The song is called Easy. It's the first single from our new EP. Second single is out September 21. We have some more music on all providers if you're interested.

Thanks for listening,

Hello all, here is my most recent Prophet '08 creation. For me the horn sound always sits front and center; maybe that will change in the future! ::) I really like that Vangelis horn sound the CS-80 made for Blade Runner and Chariots of Fire. This was made with 2 sawtooth DCO's mixed at 64. In the mod matrix I set the source as keyboard the destination as Oscillator 1 Frequency and the amount set to 1. I then fine tuned Oscillator 1 about -25 to -30, and setup the filter and amplitude envelope to taste for the sound of a trumpet. I played with the oscillator drift so I could get the phasing sound of the two coming in and out of phase and hovering for a while to play with the harmonics. I was really pleased with the result!

The rest of the song was made with the Ultranova on the 1/8th note bass, an EMU proteus 2000 for the drums with gated reverb to add punch, and a Korg Wavestation playing sweeping wavy chords in the background.

Thanks for watching!

Moinmoin,

yet another P'08 piece of music, maybe not the usual stuff.
Sounds over groove, recorded live and from 1:50 it's pure P'08 (an old Transcendent 2000 before)

https://final-virus.com/audio.html scroll down to "Prodigy". I don't know why my band outvoted me with this name, and yes, this site is up to now only available in German, we will change that soon. You may of course listen to those other pieces of music...

Very funky groove.  Sounds like you've got a tight band.
