I just got this synth and I bought it for the polysynth sounds but honestly I found myself using the gated/polysynth sequencer so much more. It’s pretty fun
I'd been looking for a new synth and this video was what basically sold me on the Rev2. Awesome sounds here. Now I just have to wait for it to get here.
How long did it take you to get this good at playing keys? I'm about to buy my first "big" hardware keyboard after years of using a controller and software...
Just a random chord progression that sounded nice to me hahahaha! I am impressed and surprised by this synth all the time. Even with my OB6 that I recently got, I still like the Rev 2 for 80-90% of the synth stuff I do.
That big sky shimmer reverb sounds amazing on the first few! I’m impressed. It needs a great sounding source with it! I think Dave knocked it out of the park with the REV2. The best of the Prophet 08, double polyphony, mod matrix, wave shape, sub, effects. Wow.
I totally agree! both the Rev 2 is my favorite performance synth, it's fantastic. IF you want to hear more Strymon+Rev 2 (layered with the peak) check out this new video, I think the audio is better too. th-cam.com/video/kZKuJASQ2tk/w-d-xo.html
Amazing! You’ve made me decide on getting the Rev 2. Also I love The Midnight!!! Los Angeles is like my favorite song of theirs!!! I have a few questions. First is you have a perfect polysix sounding bass...is that in the presets or did you make that from scratch? And 2nd...can you make dx7 or EP sounds with the Rev2? Thanks!!! You play beautifully!
To answer your question, you can do very convincing EP sounds with the rev 2! Also the midnight is one of my favorite bands ever. A while ago I found their song Sunset on a mix and just couldn't stop listening to them! The bass started as a stock sound but I modified it a bit to taste, but you can find that patch as a split called chariots or something. Most of the patches here are modified factory patches with a few customs. My idea was to show what the Rev 2 could do with factory based patches, however, other more recent videos I have show custom patches. As far as the DX7, I haven't tried yet haha. I got the Soundtower editor a while back for this and my OB6 and it really helped me with understanding the synth deeply. Enjoy it and thank you!
Thanks Uriel! I just bought the Rev 2. i love it! I do have a question. Would you be willing to share these exact presets on this video? or at least sell a pack of these presets? These are amazing! I love those brass/strings sounds you have. I am still trying to learn sound design. So have a ways to go lol.
I pre-ordered the Rev2- 8 voice, last June but there was a 45 day backorder and then another 15 day delay so I cancelled and bought a Deepmind 12. I really like the DM but now I really want a Rev2-16 too. I guess they call it GAS but I got it really bad. And then there's the PEAK.....
Hey! Yes let me check tonight. I actually meant to write Junoesque but my computer screwed it up. It’s actually supposed to sound like a juno 106. I added a few things on that patch to make it a bit more interesting like a bit of slop and some external chorus to make t richer like a juno.
That is one of my favorite stock patches, all I changed on that one was the volume of the second layer, to make it a bit more subtle. It's called DCO Chorus. It's supposed a very Juno like patch. Also I used my H9 chorus to make it richer.
I love the big sky! It's such an incredible reverb for both synthesizers and guitars! The way that I am switching so quickly between patches, is that I'm using a disaster area midi switcher. The pedals and the synth are all chained to the disaster area switcher via midi patch. Then the buttons on the switcher will recall patches for all devices at once.
Great video! Thanks for sharing! I guess you're one of the few that got both the Peak and the Rev2 and can give insight about them. I've been wanting the Rev2 for the past year (was waiting for it to get released) but then saw the Peak and thought it fits better and delivers more. A very important point to me is that i can get the Peak for cheaper as i don't have to pay extra for shipping/customs and vat like i do for the Prophet. My main concern is that, although i don't want vintage sounds, (maybe a bit), I love the flexibility of the Peak, however in all videos, I tend to notice how "musical" the Prophet is, whether most videos on youtube show the peak as stabs, sounds and the like. I know your take on both and how you believe the peak is a designers heaven. but do you think it's as musical? I'm a pianist/keyboarding and love the monotimbrality of the Prophet, however the desktop format of the peak is also very attractive. thank you for shedding some light, as i've been on hold because things are a bit messed up with that choice.
Have you seen my song demo for the Peak? I used only the peak for everything except for the drums. The noise, arps and basses on the peak are my favorite. They are just so amazing. th-cam.com/video/25Ys_tHS670/w-d-xo.html
The biggest concern I had was how to play the Peak Live, however in this Rev 2 video I put a picture of my setup, I use my Rev2 hard case, at 0.05 you can see it. The Prophet is my ultimate performance synth, it syncs perfectly into my midi rig which is why I love it so much, I haven't tried that with my peak yet, however for me I wouldn't mind the peak as my sole performance synth, I just would have to spend more money for a quality midi controller. and a stand for the synth.
Thanks for the reply. Been listening to more demos online, and honestly i do feel that the Rev2 is more musical as it offers splits and as a keyboard player i do get to use that a lot. I'm considering the Rev2 desktop in that case. But i do lose the power of the Peak and the multiple filter setup of it. Great video
+Joe Hannouch thank you:) I think the answer is to get both hahah. The split function is fantastic especially with 16 voices because each layer gets 8 voices
Thank you! It's a mix between some tweaked factory patches and some custom designed. I haven't gotten too deep in the design on the Rev 2 yet, unlike the Peak. I find the peak is just so much easier to design for some reason.
For my live performances I like having external effects, as they tend to be better than the internal effects so the Rev 2 is going into the effects in stereo
Uriel Ortega Thanks. Big bold sounds! But you know what they say about Strymon Big Sky: you could send a fart through this effect and you‘d hear the angels sing ;-)
Incredible patches Uriel! How heavily are you using your effects pedals in that video? I definitely hear the BigSky but wasn't sure if you were using the others for those specific patches.
all of the patches have a bit of big sky except for bass split, I just prefer the reverb from big sky over the stock reverb. The shimmer verb for the pad is the one that has the most big sky haha.
@@bergsofcanada2757 That is totally irrelevent to the video topic or the music Daniel plays. Why do you have such a strong need to state your beliefs re: religion & criticize the beliefs of others? Trolling?

Can you please make these patches available for purchase bc these are the type of sounds that I’m looking for
Hi Uriel. Your videos has making me buying a REV2 and I am glad about it. Great Instrument! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy yours!
Smith are Genius ...
Very cool demo - Great sounds!
I'd been looking for a new synth and this video was what basically sold me on the Rev2. Awesome sounds here. Now I just have to wait for it to get here.
Awesome thank you! did you get the 8 or 16 voice
16 voice.
Can you please make these patches available? They sound very good mate! 😁
My Rev 2's coming in two days. So jacked.
Awesome! What did you get? 8 or 16
Just the 8 for now, got here today! Loving it so far.
2:13 a little bit like the patch at the beginning of U2 Where the Streets have no name
finally an actually great demo of the rev 2! like the u2 ish part around 6:10
thank you so much! I'm really enjoying this thing
Really good demo.. nice to see someone who can play instead of just making horrible noise with this...
Thank you:) I appreciate it :)
How long did it take you to get this good at playing keys? I'm about to buy my first "big" hardware keyboard after years of using a controller and software...
Thanks man I have been playing piano for most of my life and recently got into synths :). Also what software do you use? Omnisphere?
Your demos have sold the synth to me! Thanks for making them; I can't wait to get my hands on one 😁
Glad to hear that:) enjoy your rev 2!
Joseph Eveson don't forget to get the strymon big sky also 😏
is it difficulte to use the disaster area to control the prophet and switch presets aand how many presets can i save to the knobs???
Awesome vibes man! Bravo!
puoi spiegarmi per cortesia come hai collegato quegli effetti? E quel controller che hai li davanti.. cos'è e come funziona? Grazie.
Can you make a video to explain your routing?
Probably the best demo ive seen. Just wondering if you could Kindly direct me to the first two patches. They sound incredible. Thanks
One is a modified Jump patch, the second one is the factory DCO chorus patch from bank 4 :) hope that helps
Bank 4 patch 80 for DCO
Nice Rendition of Los Angeles there! @ 4:10
Nice tones. Can you make these patches available?
I didn't know the Rev2 sounded so good and I own one! Whats that song at 0:32?

Thank you for playing beautiful compositions and not just pecking at one key while spinning knobs. From pianist to pianist, cheers.
Thank you:) I appreciate it!
5:33 I love this patch so much, I could write an entire track for my project Miles Away based around that plus a vocal.
Love the shimmer pad 😎😎👍👍👍

also makes me want a big sky so bad

Get the Rev2!!
nicely done
Hey Uriel do you know the patch number for the “DCO Chorus Junoesue” sound? It’s amazing and I need that lol
Hey! Yes let me check tonight. I actually meant to write Junoesque but my computer screwed it up. It’s actually supposed to sound like a juno 106. I added a few things on that patch to make it a bit more interesting like a bit of slop and some external chorus to make t richer like a juno.
Also I assigned the cutoff to the mod wheel too and it adds a lot
Bank 4 patch 80, try it out!
Uriel Ortega thanks bro! I found it. Trying my best to get it to sound like yours lol
0:32 is just amazing! :D
That is one of my favorite stock patches, all I changed on that one was the volume of the second layer, to make it a bit more subtle. It's called DCO Chorus. It's supposed a very Juno like patch. Also I used my H9 chorus to make it richer.
Nice! I've listened to it 10 times already, that patch with those chords sound really beautiful.
Thank you :)
Sup! Love this patch. I can’t find it in my bank though...Do you know the exact patch/bank number for it? 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
@@harrisonthecolleagues158 Bank 4 Patch 80
Is the Rev 2 going through 4 FX pedals?
Hello. There are two versions of rev2? One says sequential and other says Dave smith Instruments... why? Thanks
Because dave smithcjust got back the sequential brand name from korg, he had to use DSI for a while but now he is back with sequential
Great sounds! Are these for sale mate? They should be! 😁
Whats the patch # you used to create the shimmer pad at 2min?
Fantastic sound great
Thank you :)
Out of curiosity - can you explain how you're toggling between patches here? (Also: holy crap that BigSky sounds like Heaven in a bottle)

Guessing you play in church/worship? Sounds awesome!
May I know what is the 1st patched used for "Polysynth"?
LOVE IT.
These patches are incredible, do they come pre programmed into the Rev 2 or have you made them yourself?
It was a combination of both factory pads and some I made :)
Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the response! I am deciding between those two synths, so this is very helpful(:
Are these patches straight coming out of the Rev2, i.e do you bypass the Strymons ? Thx
For my live performances I like having external effects, as they tend to be better than the internal effects so the Rev 2 is going into the effects in stereo
Uriel Ortega Thanks. Big bold sounds! But you know what they say about Strymon Big Sky: you could send a fart through this effect and you‘d hear the angels sing ;-)
+Sheik Yerbouti hahaha I’ll have to play a sampled fart into a big sky shimmer and record it

If you could only have one and Simmer Verb was important to you.....Big Sky or H9?
What did you do to add to your Chorus(Rev2 OR not)?
In this video, the chorus is coming from the eventide H9 pedal (the white one)
What song at 0.32
It's just a random chord progression that I came up with as I played haha
fuck yeah!!! sick!
and nice 305s!!!
they are my favorite, great price and quality haha. I think I got one for free at musicians friend with their points, the other for like $100 new
it s 8 voice or 16 yours? I am wondering if it makes a big difference on the sounds you demoed..
16 voice! One thing I learned is that the extra voices allow me to double up the sounds and make everything fatter.
Is this the 8 voice or 16?
16!!
Play the Oblivion please...
@6:36 You really wanted to start playing "Jump" but then changed your mind. "Nah, better not..." ;)
hahahahahah Yeah I wanted to show the classic jump sound without getting sued lol
Have subbed! 😁
6:37 when you almost jump
Jump, the stairway to heaven of Synths #NoStairWay hahah
Thats the 8 voices or the 16 voices?
16 voices, I had the prophet 08 for some time, but decided if I was going to upgrade, I was going to go all the way to 16, and I'm glad I did
@@leiruagetro why are you glad you got 16?
Do you play Christian music?
Too bad God is imaginary.

God work with the Rev 2! It sounds far from the magic bliss that the Ob-6 provides, but quite ok anyway.
You can always overdo the reverberation...
Tell me where are the synthesizers and pedals connected to the mixing console?
Sounds amazing! Are you only using the BigSky or is the Timeline and H9 in use as well? The FX sound incredible.
Thank you:) in this video I’m using all three. The H9 for modulation, the timeline for some light delay, and some patches have dotted eighth delay too
Do you play Christian music?
