Dave Smith Instruments ups the ante (again) with the REV2, a 16-voice, 61-key synthesizer that takes over where the legendary Prophet ’08 left off. The REV2 is an absolute beast that boasts dual DCOs, a sub-oscillator, and a 2/4 pole resonant lowpass Curtis filter per voice. Other features include bi-timbral operation, waveshape modulation, a beefy onboard FX engine, an advanced polyphonic step sequencer, a crisp oled display, and USB. The premium 5-octave, semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch feels just right. Synth geeks here at Sweetwater are excited about Dave Smith Instruments’ REV2. Dave has delivered another killer synth — and it’s an amazing value.
