VCM ++ Volume 2 is here! I've spent many months working on this sound set. It takes advantage of the latest firmware update for Prophet Rev2, with tons of new Vintage Voice Modeling (VCM) Sounds, Binaural Stereo Stacks, Advanced Motion Patches, and Bitimbral Layered Textures. Plus lots of Famous Song sounds!
VINTAGE VOICE COMPONENT MODELING (VCM)
Several years back I did a bunch of research and analysis on vintage synths from the 1970s through 2000s, to understand what gives classic/vintage synths their lush character and organic warmth. I published info on my findings at http://www.VoiceComponentModeling.com, and released a patch bank for the Prophet Rev 2 (as well as other soundsets for other synths in the past few years). This new soundset (VCM ++ Volume 2) is the latest release, harnessing the most nuanced techniques I've been working on for the past few years.
LATEST O.S. for PROPHET REV2
This Soundset takes advantage of the latest Prophet Rev2 OS (Operating System) that was released a few months ago. I had been lobbying Sequential for years to fix some issues with the Gated Sequencer Key Stepping, which prevented some more advanced usage of the synth with bi-timbral stacks. They fixed the issues, along with several other minor bugs in version 1.1.5.9.9 This O.S. is the latest stable release, and highly recommended for usage with these patches. They would technically work with previous O.S. versions, but not sound as good. Go get the latest O.S. for free on the official Sequential Rev2 forum. Note: It's technically a beta, but with Seq, their Betas are the same as release versions after they've been out a few months. They are the most stable, bug free versions. Also note: you must be signed into the forum to download from the Seq website. I will include a copy of the latest O.S. in download for this sound set as well.
NEW CAPABILITIES WITH UPDATED O.S.
Now that the Key Stepping of the Gated Sequencer works fully on stacked patches, there are some new capabilities that the Prophet Rev2 has.
Firstly, it can now pull off stacked/layered patches with Vintage Voice Modeling on both layers, with correct voice stepping. This allows for huge sounding vintage stacks, emulating double tracked or binaural stereo sounds, with tons of organic, vintage character through per voice modeling (VCM).
Second, the excellent gated sequencer / modulation sequencer can now be used in key stepping mode for stacked/layered patches. This provides the Rev2 with incredible syncopated motion capabilities, unmatched by virtually any other synth on the market. By combining two layers of Arpeggio motion, with strategically planned Osc Frequency Modulations, Cutoff jumps and other modulations, you can create incredibly rich animated motion that can be played up and down the keybed in any key. The resulting patterns that are created are extremely unique, and by targeting octaves, perfect fifths, and perfect fourths, along with staggered timing/reset points, you can create semi-procedural, intelligent melodies and multi osc harmonies that respond to your playing.
Third, the above two capabilities unlocked with the latest O.S. can be mixed/matched. For example, there are many patches in the soundset and demo, which have a pad, brass or string sound with vintage voice modeling on one layer, combined with an advanced motion arp on the second layer, for rich motion patches, with a fundamental organic, vintage style based underneath.
