Oscillators

Oscillators provide the raw building blocks of the Prophet Rev2’s sound

by producing waveforms, each of which has its own inherent sound char-

acter based on its harmonic content. The Prophet Rev2 has two oscilla-

tors, plus a sub oscillator and a noise generator, per voice.

Oscillator 1 and 2 are capable of generating sawtooth, sawtooth + trian-

gle, triangle, and pulse waves. You can vary the width of any of these

waveshapes using the

shape mod parameter. This provides a great variety

of different waveshapes and timbres.

The oscillators on the Prophet Rev2 are extremely stable. To emulate the

random pitch drift and oscillator instability of vintage instruments, use the osc

slop

parameter to dial in as little or as much drift as you like.

The Oscillator section

Oscillator 1 can be hard-synced to Oscillator 2 for harmonically-complex

sounds when modulated. Both oscillators feature a fine tune knob for

detuning and thickening sounds.

You can force either or both of the oscillators to start its wave cycle from its

beginning (its zero crossing) each time you press a note on the keyboard by setting

note reset to on in the misc parameters menu. This is can be useful for creating sounds

that have a very consistent sound each time you trigger them.
