Dave Smith Instruments Pro 2

qua specs impressive!
mooie ontwikkeling die zeer uitgebreide monobakken
 
Phew, dit moet waarschijnlijk een directe concurrent van de Moog Sub 37 worden.


Over de sequencer: It also syncs to external audio input. Dat klinkt op papier alvast leuk.

En een geintegreerde voeding, dat wordt tijd op een DSI synth...


In de video zie je op ong. 5 min. een Dave Smith Eurorack Curtis Filter module, met de merknaam Dave Smith Modular

One Voice to Rule Them All
Dave Smith calls the Pro 2 his “most powerful mono synth ever.” It shares the same exceptional ergonomics and playability as its 12-voice sibling, the Prophet 12, but carves out distinctly different sonic territory with an all-new dual analog filter architecture, a monster step sequencer, superwaves, digital bucket-brigade delay, and a lot more. Nothing else sounds like it and nothing else performs like it. The Pro 2 raises the bar for mono synths and redefines the word “fat.”

A New Classic for a New Generation
The Pro 2 is a fusion of classic analog synthesizer design and cutting-edge digital technology. It boasts four high-resolution digital oscillators, plus a sub oscillator. The oscillators produce both classic and complex wave shapes and can frequency and amplitude modulate each other in any operator and modulator configurations you choose for harmonically-rich FM and AM sounds. A set of Character controls adds high and low frequency boost, bit and sample rate reduction, and tape saturation emulation to the Pro 2's sonic palette.

Two New Filters Based On Vintage Designs
At the heart of the Pro 2's gutsy sound is its all-new dual filter design. Filter 1 is a 4-pole low-pass design inspired by the original Prophet-5 filter. Filter 2 is a state-variable design inspired by the Oberheim SEM and can be continuously varied between low-pass, notch, and high-pass operation, with an optional band-pass mode. The two filters function in either serial or parallel, or anywhere in between. Two of the four oscillators can be routed through Filter 1 with the other two routed through Filter 2 for a broad range of tonal possibilities.

Advanced Sequencing
One of the most exciting features of the Pro 2 is its sequencer—possibly the most powerful step sequencer ever designed for a synth. With up to 32 steps and 16 tracks, it provides real-time input, rests, and variable-length sequences. It also syncs to MIDI clock and external audio input. Sequence tracks can control any parameter in the Pro 2's extensive modulation matrix.

Plays Well With Modulars
The Pro 2's flexible architecture opens the door to not only processing external audio, but also to interfacing with modular synths through its 4 rear-panel control voltage inputs and outputs and a dedicated gate output. Control voltages can be assigned and routed from within the modulation matrix and can run at audio rates for extreme modulation effects. Some of the many parameters that can be sent to the CV outputs include oscillators, LFOs, envelopes, and sequencer tracks, making the Pro 2 a natural choice for the center of your studio or live setup.

Delays, Envelopes, LFOs, Arpeggiator, and a Multitude of Modulation
The Pro 2's delay section provides three digital delays with pan, and high-pass and low-pass filtering controls. A fourth delay is a digital bucket-brigade delay (BBD) for analog-style effects. There are four loopable five-stage envelope generators, four syncable LFOs with slew and phase offset, a full-featured arpeggiator, and a sixteen slot modulation matrix with dozens of modulation sources and destinations.

Monophonic by Design, Paraphonic by Choice
The Pro 2 was designed primarily as a super-powerful monosynth, but it’s also a true, four-voice paraphonic synth that allows you to control each of its four oscillators individually with their own envelope. This makes playing four-note chords not only possible, but very expressive.

Package all of this power in a three-and-a-half octave, semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch, add two backlit pitch and mod wheels and two location and pressure sensitive touch sliders, and you've got one of the most feature-rich, awe-inspiring synthesizers ever created.
 
Oberheim filter, paraphonic mode met envelope per osc, CV I/O, toffe delays... gave synth hoor! Vooral het extra filter is een fijne verrassing.

Iets bekend over de prijs?
 
Wat een leuke bak en wat een hoop knopjes!

Prijs zal zo rond de €1899,- zitten (misschien goedkoper)

Preorders zijn nu bij u favoriete dealers mogelijk. :okdan:
 
Zal ik een gok doen? 1500 euro.
 
Mooi ding hoor, hoop knoppen. :)
 
Ow hij komt eind July uit.

Dat is ook best belangrijk om te weten he :p

Mooi ding. Maar mag voor een monosynth wel heel erg goed gaan klinken voor dat geld.

Daar heb je een Minitaur, Bassstation 2 en een Pulse 2 voor en hou je nog geld over... ;)
 
Damn 8~!!

Dit is voor mij echt de 1e synth van DSI waar ik echt enthousiast over ben!
De dual filter is vooral een erg leuke toevoeging.

Hangt een beetje van de prijs af of ie t echt waard is met idd de Minitaur, Minibrute en de Bassstation 2 als tegenhangers.
 
Digitaal door analoog is een krachtige combinatie. Ik vond niet alles even mooi wat er uit de Prophet 12 kwam maar dat waren vaak van die "we maken het complex omdat we het complex kunnen maken" geluiden met alle vier de oscillatoren aan en modulerend en effecten en grote akkoorden of unison.

Ik denk dat veel mensen hele andere dingen gaan doen met deze mono versie van de P12 ondanks dat hij op veel punten het zelfde is. Chord memory achtige dingen met vier oscillatoren.
 
Dave Smith Modular?

Dave Smith Modular?

Ook iemand opgevallen dat er een Filter in de modular zit, met de melding Dave Smith Modular???
Daar is thans nog niets van terug te vinden op hun website!

Maar als er een hoop DSM modules gaan uitkomen! :okdan:
 
Introducing the New Pro 2 Synthesizer

June 19, 2014—Dave Smith Instruments today announced the Pro 2, an all-new, feature-rich monophonic synthesize. “We really raised the bar with this one,” said Smith. “As synth geeks, we asked ourselves what our dream mono synth would be. Then we built it.”

A hybrid instrument, the Pro 2 features four digital oscillators (plus sub-oscillator) with super saw waves and newly-designed, dual analog filters inspired by classic designs. The filters (one low-pass and one state-variable) can be run in series or parallel, with the state-variable filter providing low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass modes. Oscillators can be routed in pairs to either filter for a variety of tonal possibilities. “Our new analog filter design gives the Pro 2 a depth and presence that’s immediately recognizable,” said Smith. “It has a sound all its own—distinctly different from our other instruments such as the Prophet 12.”

The full-featured step sequencer operates in 32 x 8, or 16 x 16 mode and allows real-time input. It can sync to external MIDI clock and can also be driven by an external audio input. Sequences can control not only oscillator pitch, but any parameter in the Pro 2’s extensive modulation matrix. It supports both rests and variable-length sequences.

Another notable feature of the Pro 2 is its 4 rear-panel control voltage inputs and outputs, which make it compatible with modular synths. The control voltages can be assigned and routed from within the modulation matrix and can run at audio rates for extreme modulation effects. “A primary goal was to make the Pro 2 as open-ended and flexible as possible,” said Smith. “The four control voltage ins and outs really open up a world of interfacing possibilities with other gear. You could almost call the Pro 2 our own mini-modular.”

Smith says that the surprises don’t end there: “A very cool bonus features is that even though we designed it primarily as a very powerful mono synth, it’s actually 4-voice paraphonic—you can play 4 notes simultaneously, if you want to. Add in the super waves, and you’ve got a very big sound.” In paraphonic operation, the 4 individual voices share a common filter and envelopes. Paraphony has gained popularity in recent years and was found in such vintage instruments as the ARP 2600 and ARP Odyssey, which were duophonic.

The feature set of the Pro 2 is rounded out with a multimode arpeggiator; 4 stereo, multi-tap delays with analog modeling; 4 LFOs; tuned feedback; analog distortion; Character controls with sound sculpting options such as Drive, Hack, Decimation, Girth, and Air; and extensive modulation possibilities. The LFOs, delay, and arpeggiator can be synced to either the internal clock or an external MIDI clock. Two programmable position- and pressure-sensitive touch sliders and pitch and mod wheels provide nuanced control over live performance.

“Right now there’s a trend of reissuing classic synths from the past. People have been asking for a reissue of the old Sequential Pro-One for quite a while. But as a synth designer, I’m happiest creating new instruments—synths that with every iteration put more power and better sounds into the hands of musicians. The Pro 2 is light years beyond the Pro-One in every way. It’s the most powerful mono synth I’ve ever made. You’ve got to keep moving forward.”

The Pro 2 is scheduled to start shipping late July with a street price of $1,999.

:) Wauw!

Wel (te) prijzig alleen voor mij. :erm:
 
Ook iemand opgevallen dat er een Filter in de modular zit, met de melding Dave Smith Modular???

Yup en hij speelt met deze synth ook in op de modular hype die gaande is. (met cv gate etc)

Ontopic: Dik, maar te duur naar mijn smaak. Een prophet 12 kost toch iets van € 2500 a 2600? Waarom dan $ 1995 vragen voor een monophone synth met 4 voice paraphonic mogelijkheid? 1000 dollar en dat ding vliegt over de toonbank je huis in ;-)
