Nobody demos synthesizers better than Mr. Ujie. Thanks for this one!
Agreed! But the sound of the Rev. 2 isn´t that good, unfortunately:-(
It is exactly that good, actually. I've had so many synths I've lost count. You've not used one. Or you think it's just a prophet 08. I've had it next to prophet 6 and my old synths and it's every bit as good, just in sometimes different ways, it's definitely analog and very refined but can be dark or sweet, soaring or moody, very powerful, beautifully built and great to work with. For the record I was never much a fan of the prophet 08 but I LOVE my rev2 and it's rapidly replacing all my old VCO and DCO synths as a go-to, it's the most VCO sounding DCO synth I've ever used and even the much maligned filter proves to be very flexible and very musical.
quarkyzarky The Prologue sounds much better. 👍
The Prologue has better effects, but sounds pretty close. On the other hand it's also a kneecaped synth missing basic features.
jj ???????
I just bought a 16 voice rev2 today for 1600 USD. That is a big purchase for me, and I had some misgivings and - almost - buyer's remorse while driving home. After a few hours with this thing, I just want to give it a hug. This thing is really special.
Zach Barnhart got a great deal...
Same here - I was using VSTs up to that point and man I forgot what a proper synth should sound like.
This man really knows his synth demos. This is by far the best I've seen for the Rev 2, good enough to make me pull the trigger on one.
Man, your videos are so great. I saved my $$ for a couple of years to buy a Rev2 . And your presentation makes me want to run out to buy it again; I have to keep reminding myself....."it's OK - relax. You have one right there in the other room". Thanks for posting; killer stuff as always.
I have the same feeling for my rev2
Amazing how Dave Smith keeps amazing us with loads of very good sounding synths. I love how the rev2 goes from raw, gritty and punchy to very lush and open .. very versatile synth. Bang for buck.
You can bang my wife for a buck. Talk about a steal of a deal!
English sub-title Is available now.
Some of the best reviews on TH-cam. Great playing, and I love listening to the enthusiasm in Japanese. It's funny that I often know exactly what you are saying, and why you are excited, even if I don't understand a word :)
These are great japanese lessons we are taking. Learn japanese via watching synth reviews!
Finally, a demo of Rev2 with someone who can actually play it properly! Getting it tomorrow, thank you.
Always nice chord progressions this player
This man could make a Bontempi sound fantastic.
I've struggled to warm to Dave Smiths gear, but Katsunori brings it alive!
The best REV2 demo out there. Thank you!
Katsunori! Could you please release a very long album with this ambient synthy improv music like you make in these demos? 💰💰💰
As if I wasnt already sold on this synth, thank you for the masterful playing Mr. Ujiie!
The Filter of this synth is scary. The Demo is fantastic as usual.
But people prefer the even better 08 filter.
Absolutely incredible demonstration!!!! No one has done anything this varied and skilled!
Great demo!!! I cannot understand people saying it does not sound so analog !!!!
They just read DCO and figure they gotta hate it. The only difference is how the oscillator frequency is generated!! VCOs are great, but there's no denying this synth is rad, and the fact that it will only drift a miniscule fraction of where a Pro-5/6/10 will after many years of play only makes it sound better to me!
That's because of how clear and transparent it is. Its definitely analog.
English sub-title will soon ...
Thank you! :)
Again crap video quality. Sorry guys, but please get back to the old video quality you had which was excellent. Audio is great, and Ujiie is great as always, but it's hard to watch because of the awful video quality.
And pretty please... don't be late!!!
Oh man finally ! thank you
At first I skipped through some stuff till I realized I could do subtitles, now I'm real happy watching the whole video :) thank you
Fantastic Synthesizer & Fantastic Demo! Thank you, Katsunori!!!
You know it buddy! ;)
You are a fantastic musician and really make these synths sing.
When i hear him play...somehow anime comes to my mind....
With a touch of retro and future
I really like this Mr dude his demo's. Excellent videos. Thank you !
That analog string patch at 14:28! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Always the best sounding reviews
Great demo as always! I can watch Ujie all day. 4:12 sounds like it has its own drum machine.
7:52 "You know having a 5 octave keyboard is great for a polysynth!" Too right!
Listen up Mr Dave Smith with the 4 octave Prophet-6 and OB-6. Fabulous synths with a cut off keyboard!!! Wish they did 5 octave versions. Still, he's sold a lot of units.
It's Dave's subtle way of suggesting which synth he really thinks you should get ;-)
I don't really need it, I can't actually afford it, and yet I'm about to order one.
Ujiie could sell a synth to a bunch of jellyfish!
He sold one to my 4 month old son who’s since been adopted so I could keep the synth :)
@@HotStrange cool...
The Best demo of this synth so far. Leave it to the master Ujie to get those smooth, warm and musical sounds out of it. Nice!
Ujiie, yeah! You always know what I want to see and hear!!! (y)
序盤で青く光ってるように見えるのかっこいい☆
I have been waiting for this for months!!
Love u guys, best synth demo's
Imagine having one of these and a MatrixBrute. That would be the best thing ever.
氏家氏のレヴューがずっと気になっていて、最近16voiceを購入しました。音の美しさに震えています。
8:34 good example of how easily the Rev2 can get into harsh, uncontrolled territory with the filters.. not that the synth sounds harsh by default, like many people seem to think, but you certainly have to tame it more often. A Roland synthesizer barely has to be tamed anytime... anyways, really nice synthesizer!
The harsh uncontrolled territory is the fun part.
best synth demos ever on this channel
As always awesome review, thank you. 👏👏😊😀
Arigato Ujie-San!! I was looking forward to this review. I really hope you can get a hand to the Behringer 'Model D' for a test as well.
Nice piece of gear! Beautiful pads... Huge improvements... I can't wait to play one in person.
待ってました！
Ambient beautifulness im copping this
このシンセサイザーが好きです。このビデオを作ってくれてありがとうございます。じゃあ、またね。サム。
Oh that sound! I think it's time I stop dinking around with sub $500 synths and just pull the trigger on this one. It makes the lush sounds I want to make. Great review by a great player.
The $500 range is still great for mono synths, but IMO, there’s no real great poly synths until you started getting into the $799+ range.
Prophet 08: everyone bitches about it.
Rev 2 = Prophet 08 + cheap FX: everyone praises it, “Wow, what an amazing synth! Sounds so analog!”
The P08 always sounded good. It was the first poly analog released in many many years. I think at that time, too many Virus owners and VST users were used to FX laden presets, and couldn’t get down with the dry sound. The P08 through a cheap $200 multifx pedal sounds great.
I like the expanded matrix and variable shape waveforms. For me, that alone is a big enough reason to get one.
The Rev2s filter and oscillators have been tweaked as well but overall it sounds similar for sure.
7:54 の音、好きです♬
Deep rich sound
16:07 Sneaked in Toto "Africa"!
I thought it was Asia or Kansas or Boston?
chieftp ??????????
WTF?
Digiphex Electronics fucking soyboy
Yes - and a little before that there was about a bar of Pictures at an Exhibition I think!!
:-)
いつもありがとうございます。
15:28 冨田勲氏が作り出す魅力的なサウンドを彷彿させる音色。
パッドもいいですが、ブラス系の音に魅力を感じます（9:50）。
全体的にProphet-5よりもクリアで明るいサウンドが特徴かと思いました。
どちらかというとProphet-600の発展形のようにも感じます。
SOLD !
Which sound is being used during the introduction and @ 4:44 please?
As always, nice demo; thank you :D
Wow this is a thing of beauty!
I'm sold
デモが素晴らしいのは勿論ですが、なんて美しい音かと思います。本当に。
Hi Katsunori you video super
Africa at 16:07 :3
TOTO
It sounds really great 👍🏻
Honorable Ujiie-san, love your videos and playing. I have an Oberheim OB8 and Deepmind 12 ( which you reviewed ) and once owned a Prophet 08 ( which I believe you reviewed as well ) years ago among a truck load of other synths and I have a question about the REV2.....In your opinion do you think that 2 pole Curtis filter can get an Oberheimish sound if programmed correctly ??? I don't like the OB6 because Dave and Tom didn't stay faithful to the "OB" design. It only has one lfo (the OB8 has 3 ) and even though it does have cross mod I'm not impressed. For $3000.00 I expected more. Thanks and look forward to more of your videos !!!
Dean Davis the Rev2 can definitely get into Oberheim territory quite easily.
Ujie 4 prez
9.05, just a casual little melody to demonstrate the sequencer being OFF
Отличный звук и обзорщик! И инструмент!
Привет из России. 👏
It's like he has bottomless cash, or knows people who can lend him these keyboards :) His intros to his videos are really good
Michael Bauers I think in most cases ppl lend him the board
I think musictrack jp is paying.
If you were a keyboard manufacturer, would you not want Ujiie to demo your products? No one is better!
Also... Nick Batt from Sonic State does nicely review it as well. More into technical parts of the synth. Katsunori Ujiie is a better player than Nick and focusing on different parts. I like to watch both of these guys. Same as chosing one synth above the other; often a matter of taste and money. Saying Korg is the holy grail is just useless fanboy behavior. Yes...the Korg Prologue 16 voice is also a very nice synth but i didnt want to strech my budget more than the 1330,- euro's i payed for the Rev2. Maybe ill buy a Korg synth in the future...or a Novation...or a Roland....or....
Ujiie san, Yamaha Genos to KORG Pa1000 wo misete kudasai. Toku ni, Latin styles wo kikitai desu. Onegai shimasu.
お久しぶりのレビュー！しかもDSI !
やっぱりアナログの音って良いですよね！
今度はぜひ、Nord Wave 2もレビューして欲しいです！
Love this
@musictrackjp please do review of Yamaha QS300 :) Thank You!
I think I would keep the FX button on this synth in a permanent OFF position. The built in effects seem fine for live use, and maybe this was the design intention anyway, but for anything else they are holding the synth back. Treat this like the P08 and you'll love it. Use the FX and you'll probably be scratching your head a bit as to why it doesn't sound quite as nice as the P08.
uhh does this guy have an album or something?
Tsaav Ntsaim make your own!!!
Awesome like always. Can you do 4 oscillators but fewer voices on this one?
Samuel Isaksson you can if you layer the sounds. On an 8 voice you can layer sounds and get 4 osc and voices. On the 16 voice you can get 4 osc and 8 voices.
SteeVtheRipper Thanks! Makes me want it even more...
you can layer two sounds , so you will have 4 oscillators + 2 sub oscillators .But the polyphony will be halved :)
Sergio Varvazzo thanks
Awesome. Getting one!
Can it get dirty into sub37 industrial tek sound area? Or pro3 for that
What are the settings for 17:16 &18:19
The brass min 16:00 😳
Want to love this but I always feel it is lacking some Umpff and fullness vs the OB6 or Pro 6. Maybe VCO vs DCO or the filters?
I prefer it to prophet 6/ob-6, it has a MUCH nicer, refined tone, not as raw no, the filter isn't as rocking no, but it's a way better synthesizer and still beautifully analog. I'll be honest, this guys videos are fun but he rarely EVER shows a synth in its best light, here it makes it sound very small and a bit tame.. maybe just some presets? When you program this beast, wow, it's so rich, beautiful, full, textured, warm and far far better than just a Prophet 08. On top of that it's a beauty to program with very few shortcomings vs the limited ob-6/prophet 6.
Thanks for the info. I will have to go and check them out in person. One thing I like is the idea of more poly, and also if I went the Desktop I could upgrade to more voices later for basically the same cost as buying it straight out. Analog is key though and I need something to push big fat pads and chords. :)
@@quarkyzarky No can't agree with you I have a Prophet 08 and they're very similar but 08 filter is better and panning spread is also better on 08, the rev2 does have the effects though.
Will the Rev2 play Tetr4 patches?
15:25. Fabulous
Is this synth is good for EBM (Faderhead, VNV Nation)? Or better buy Roland JD-XA? Or maybe Korg Prologue?
Neighter the Korg nor the JD-XA have aftertouch. For me personally, that’s an instant no-go for a synth or workstation.
If you can settle for a analog-modeling digital synth with no aftertouch, i’ll recommend the Kingkorg.
Otherwise, skip to the Rev2 or, of you have enough to spend, the Prophet 12.
What’s EBM?
@@HotStrange yeah lol
これは欲しくなる音だ
Prophet 6でカットされたMod WheelのNoiseはもう復活しないんですかね…？
Looks like they've removed the "8-voice analog synthesizer" text from the synth
Because this is the 16 voice version? Wtf are you on?
@@HotStrange Fruit of looms a little tight?? Relax!
Dukerbud 88 lol no? 🤔
8 o 16 voices?
Better than DeepMind 12.
The price is also doubled. Lmfao.
16 voice Polyphony; 2 DCO per voice - it offers much more for the money. DeepMind 12 lost the game - lmfao
yes, continue to compare Cadillac with Rover... I wish you success to find a Cadillac at Rover's price, btw...
+J Cesarsound It's bit like comparing a Juno 60 to a Jupiter 8. Both great. The Jupiter is a lot more powerful but also a lot more expensive. The Juno has a good base sound, but is more limited.
The same goes for comparing the DeepMind with the Prophet Rev2.
The secret of JU60 is its Chorus Processor (it is an analog BBD bucket brigade).
5:01 SLOP
やべーかっけー
Hi ninja man )
3:48 😭😭😭😭😭
Пётр ради всех не лжёт:))))
でも、お高いんでしょう？
Nice playing by Ujie-San as always! Listening to the demos, I'd never be GASsed to replace my JP8 or OB-XA with one of these clinical modern DSI units. Maybe it's me but I still prefer the sound of the Prophet 5. I do love the look of the Pro 2 - simply gorgeous layout.
The OB-XA sounds like heaven and the Rev. 2 seems like a decent workhorse but the filter is just....lame. Hopefully DSI will make a big brother companion to my OB-6:-)
Filter is fine for the synth in question. I prefer it to prophet 6 (not the filter but the synth), the REV2 is not the same old Prophet 08, it's a much better synth and can sound very very beautiful, dark, moody, sweet, powerful it just doesn't really sound raw. Overall though the best synth I've had and I've had many synths (inc vintage VCO). I'll take rev2 over Prophet 6/ob-6 anyday and maybe even over Prophet 5 for how actually useful/musical the REV2 is compared to the less useful or inspiration older, simpler but nice sounding '5.
9:35...I fainted
Петя рядом
hey - that's just like that keyboard I have!! seriously - 99% of the presets in this thing are horrible. the other 1% are barely usable. you have to make your sounds from scratch (it has an initialize feature which starts you off with a saw tooth at 16' or something and you can build from there.) most of the patches make it sound like a VA - whoever came up with them must not want them to sell many of this model. I would have loved an OB6, but this was half the price and has a full sized keyboard.
So program your own sounds? I've heard it's actually really good when you do that.
The whole point is to program your own sounds. I don’t know any synthesizer enthusiast that buys a synth for the presets. Get your head out of your ass.
Great demo. Prefer the OB6 though. 😎
You should get paid
sounds like an arcade machine
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
You need to stop visiting those places.
cool synth,but I think even digital AN-1x does sound more analogish
So now analog purists can't even call analog synths, analog? Wow. I hope you are joking.
lol
chill out,man,I'm just kidding
I LOVE my rev 2! Have all the original Junos (60, 106, Alpha Juno), Korg Monopoly, Polysix, and had a Prophet 6 on loan for 2 weeks. I a/b'd all of them very thoroughly. It definitely stands up to all of them. I would say its tendency is to be a bit clearer and smoother (kind of like a 106) but all that vintage goodness can be easily programmed in with the excellent interface. Seriously, for a synth with this much modulation power/options it's super easy to use. Build quality is fantastic, it looks badass, and the keyboard is fantastic, the best of any synth I've played in terms of response and action. I'd say some of the oldies have a bit more body and richness but in terms of sheer versatility with analog sounds, and for actually having something to fill basically 90% of what you'd use a synth for in recordings it doesn't get much better than this!
nice comment
