I find hardware synths to be a lot more tactile and conducive to creativity. Here I show you my method of using MIDI to control my Prophet Rev 2 so you can get the best of both of both worlds. Get that analog vibe while still being able to edit takes!

Seems like a good way to work - thanks I've been looking for something like this method so simple but so effective

Love it. Just now getting into hardware synths and excited to work with them via midi.

Appreicate it man! I realized that this is exactly what I began doing lol...just seems so logical and intuitive, glad to know I'm doing it right!

I greatly appreciate this. I’ve struggled with this for a while. I didn’t know about track stacks and summing stacks

Thanks for taking the time to make this.

Thanks! This is awesome -- exactly what I needed to know. I think I'm going to buy the Apogee too, as you have demonstrated that it indeed will work.

Man this was super helpful, thank you! Something that might be useful to you is the Option-Shift-Up/Down command! Pitches the midi notes by octaves rather than semi tones or having to manually drag

Great video. Just started using Logic and looking at best way to route my synths.

Great vid. I have a rev 2 desktop and hydra desktop and mainly use Ableton but jump into logic every now and again. I definitely agree with midi always feel somewhat unfinished.

I use all of my hardware synths (REV2 included) in Cubase as instrument tracks. This way I can record midi and bounce in real time once i am happy with all midi parameters in there. Exception to the rule would be Analog Rytm and Tempest, as I record these directly into audio. Ah yeah, some synths like modular stuff I record directly in audio tracks too.

Great tutorial. I've just hooked up my old Novation Nova after 20 years after watching it. My only worry is how to record performance program data like your cut off example. Tried using automation and latching in Logic but no go? Is it a matter of knob twiddling in real time when bouncing it to audio?

A complete and minusive tutorial of prophet rev2 would be great. Gracias!
@tobiaskagstrom 3 years ago

Yeah, and a fast way of pitching MIDI oct up or down is to just highlight the region that you wanna change, then hold down SHIFT+OPT(ALT) and use arrow-keys up/down =)

Nice track stack idea! But Prophet Rev 2 has L/R stereo outs, why did you plug in only one 1/4” instrument cable? Did I miss something?
