Prophet Rev2 Soundset - Vintage Voice Modeling (VCM)

Description: This is a Digital File Purchase Only. After purchase you will be emailed the Sysex file (.syx) with the Soundset for your Prophet Rev2 Synthesizer... 128 hand crafted patches for the Rev2, using an advanced modulation method. Read below for more information. Cheers! - Jason Check out a Youtube Video Demo of about twenty of the patches included in this bank: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WleQ2KrN8HY Voice Component Modeling (VCM)I spent several months analyzing classic synthesizers and acoustic analog instruments, to try and find out what objectively gives them their "character" that some modern synthesizers don't have. I recorded hundreds of samples from classic VCO synths like the OBX, OBXA, Prophets, Yamaha CS80, MemoryMoog, Jupiter 4, Jupiter 8, and others... The common thread that I noticed between all of them is that there are "voice-by-voice offsets" to each voice in these polyphonic instruments. These offsets are a result of voice boards having discreet electrical components that are never perfectly matched. The small variance between electrical performance on a voice by voice basis causes small offsets to fine tuning, envelope speeds, and various other parameters. When you play a chord, you get all these small offsets that create natural phasing / detuning / temporal offsets, creating a more lush, organic sound. Modern synths are often "too perfect" with too much parity between tuning and other parameters, giving them a more sterile or harsh sound. Advanced Modulation with the Rev2 Mod Matrix / Gated SeqI realized that with the advanced modulation capabilities of the Prophet Rev2, along with a creative usage of the gated sequencer, that this type of unique voice-by-voice behavior can be modeled within the Rev2 synthesizer... and it works great!

By default it will load to User3 Bank (U3), however, I can export to another default location if requested. You can load the patches onto your Prophet Rev2 synthesizer using a free program like MidiOx, or one of the editor programs like Soundtower (which I use), or Codeknobs. Once purchased there are no refunds or exchanges. You must agree to not redistribute, copy or resell these patches. They will be licensed for your commercial or personal usage only. Sound Types I spent several months building out this patch bank, and there are a variety of different sounds. There are many classic analog synth sounds, including basses, leads, synths, keys, analog strings, analog brass, pads and others. My focus was on creating sounds useful to songwriters or soundtrack composers. I'm a big fan of classic rock, new wave, 80s, alt rock, atmospheric and electronica. Lots of those type of sounds. In addition, I have included many acoustic instrument emulations, including electric pianos (Rhodes, Wurli, Unique), wind instruments (flutes, trumpets, horns), string instruments (violins, violas, ensemble) and organs. There are also a handful of templates for creating your own VCM patches. Many programs use layer stacks to achieve bigger sound, wider stereo image, or more complex multi-timbral sound design.Highly Expressive, Dynamic PatchesAlmost all patches have thoughtful perfomance modulations programmed in, using pressure/aftertouch, expression/foot pedal, and modulation wheel assignments to allow for dynamic performances. Dig into the keys with some pressure, and you'll get vibrato, or other unique modulations to give your playing additional character. Some patches have significant multi-parameter changes through the sweep of the mod wheel or expression pedal. Expression pedal is highly recommended! Also, some patches include additional breath modulation assignments, if using an external controller. (note: the additional breath mod is entirely optional... just an extra layer of additional modulation available on some patches, to morph into different sounds) On many of the patches I have completely maxed out the Rev2's extensive modulation matrix and performance modulation parameters. Digital Download, Sales TermsThis product is a digital download only. You will receive a .sysex soundbank file. This file is only for use with the Prophet Rev2 Keyboard or Prophet Rev2 Rack unit. Once purchased, there are no refunds or exchanges available. You agree to not copy, redistribute or resell any of the patches in this product. They are copyrighted and licensed for your use only. The bank was saved from my User 3 Bank, so I believe it will load into U3 by default if just loading the syx via MidiOx, however, if you use SoundTower or other editor program, you should be able to load it to any bank position. If you have troubles, message me. Free Future UpdatesI may do future updates to this soundbank. If I do, all future updates to the bank will be available to you for free if you puchase this. Payment Payment via ebay/paypal or sellfy. Shipping This is a digital file delivery only. I will email you / message you with the sysex file bank (.syx) after payment... If you want it sent to a different email address, message me with your email address to deliver to. To install, you'll need to use a program to send the .syx bank file to your Rev2. There are free options like MidiOx, or you can use an editor like SoundTower or Codeknobs or others. By default the bank will load to User3 bank (U3). If you have a special request for a version that defaults to a different User Bank, message me and I can export a different version for you.
