Omnisphere 3 Hardware Guide

Sequential REV2

The Sequential REV2 is a great analog polysynth from Dave Smith. One of its highlights is how easy it is to set up modulations in Omnisphere, making sound-programming a breeze. In addition, it has control over many Oscillator parameters and a solid FX section that lets you control Omnisphere’s effects remotely. This is a truly great analog polysynth at a very reasonable price.

Sequential REV2 Strengths:

  • Large and Powerful Panel
  • Extensive Modulation Capabilities
  • Great Analog Poly Synth
  • Very Good Build Quality
  • Excellent 5-octave Keyboard with Aftertouch
