No problem, just for clarification:
The basic Prophet 08 sound has remained the same in the Rev. 2 (though the latter adds a sub osc, a better slop parameter and effects). The critical point is the DCOs going through the filter design around the Curtis filters (not, as many seem to think, the Curtis filters by themselves), plus the resulting resonance behaviour: the overall result is limiting the vividness of the analog sound in these Prophets IMO. For my taste, the result is a bit lifeless, and harsh with open filters, compared to classical analog synths.
Despite it's limited modulation matrix, I can do much more both with the Prologue and with the Prophet 6 for my purposes and taste. The basic sound of both is sounding more straigtforward and vivid in musical contexts and mixes to my ears. _________________ Kronos 73 - Moog Voyager RME - Moog LP TE - Behringer Model D - Prophet 6 - Roland Jupiter Xm - Rhodes Stage 73 Mk I - Elektron Analog Rytm MkII - Roland TR-6s - Cubase 12 Pro + Groove Agent 5 |

The Prophet Rev 2 uses exactly the same integrated circuit (DCO-VCF-VCA flow), and so the same filter, as the Prophet 08 : it's the DSI-120 ! But whatever, it's not the point here !! |

I think it's exactly the point, why the Prophet 08 or Rev.2 are not necessarily regarded as welcome analog synth alternative for the Prologue (or other analog poly synths), despite good functionality.
Else the main point is, that Korg finally has to fix the Prologue or refund it. _________________ Kronos 73 - Moog Voyager RME - Moog LP TE - Behringer Model D - Prophet 6 - Roland Jupiter Xm - Rhodes Stage 73 Mk I - Elektron Analog Rytm MkII - Roland TR-6s - Cubase 12 Pro + Groove Agent 5 |
