@@chriswalker3269 it really depends on your needs. I’m mainly a keyboardist so 8 voices are enough but for extreme sound design purposes maybe it’s better the 16-voice version. Consider that you can always upgrade later from 8 to 16
I actually have the prophet rev 2, but I couldn’t find these sounds anywhere on it… Do I have to download an update or something? Or are these your own sounds and not the factory presets? Or can you tell me where to find these sounds on my prophet? Thank you so much!
I've had my 16 voice for 3 years now. Although it has amazing, orchestral pads, I find the mono bass and leads are just not thick like my Juno 106, and the rest of the sounds I struggle to find a place for it in modern pop music....Great demo though!
I have one. It's remarkable and quite flexible. It's not so much "thin" as it can lack some warmth due to the DCOs...they're perfectly in tune. Run it through an effects pedal and it warms right up! It's a great synth, and viscous for leads. It carves.
@@performtransform I got myself a desktop version and completely agree! I run it through my Octatrack which I run through my Analog Heat and it gets real warm real fast :)
@@melting94 its a pain to stand up from keyboard to change settings on a seperate unit on the shelf above say a foot and a half higher, I feel that it would be better to have the keys and controls all together……. Laziness maybe and yes you can save money, but shop around and the difference in price can be close, mines the 16 voice unit
I have two Virus TI, a desktop and the 61 key. I was contemplating selling one of the two and purchasing a Rev 2. I'm glad I found your video. I don't hear anything that the Virus can't do. In fact, it's rather uncanny how closely the two synths sound. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were playing a Virus. I'd be losing the 16 part multitimbrality in favor of a two part multitimbral synth by switching to a Rev 2. Never mind giving up the much more complex modulation routing and the 6 slot matrix. I thank you for this vid. It's made my decision easier!
@@corporalkush2060what did you buy? I'm similar. Have a TI and as it covers everything you could want (apart from really decent wave tables, let's face it they kinda all sound the same) I see nothing worthwhile these days in hardware synths apart from the hydrasynth. The same old analog synthesizers keep coming out with nothing added new, and often things taken away like in the rev2 it has no HP or BP filters. I mean come on
@@ActorsPunk I would sell it quickly if I were you, because for 4% of the price, people and me, now use the Viper VST for those kinds of specific sounds. A real virus is still a problem in a Daw with no support anymore... its over 🥀
