J3PO Prophet Rev 2 Patches – FUNK & FUSION CLASSICS
The J3PO Prophet Rev 2 Patches – FUNK & FUSION CLASSICS is a collection of 28 presets that I designed for the Sequential Prophet Rev 2.
This is third installment of the my patch series for the Rev2—and this time, the focus is on the iconic sounds of '70s and early '80s funk, fusion, and soul. Many of the patches in this set were created when I got the call to play with Herbie Hancock for a tribute concert honoring the life of Wayne Shorter. We performed classic Weather Report material, and my job was to recreate the synth parts originally played by Joe Zawinul—bringing those legendary sounds from Heavy Weather back to life, while Herbie led the band on piano and Rhodes.
The following year, I was invited again—this time for the 50th anniversary of Head Hunters. That album changed music forever, and it was an unreal honor to perform it top to bottom alongside Herbie and the original Head Hunters band at the Hollywood Bowl. I designed and performed these patches for that gig, channeling the textures of Head Hunters, Thrust, and tunes like "Butterfly" and "Palm Grease."
In addition to the Herbie and Zawinul-inspired patches, you’ll also hear nods to Jan Hammer, Chick Corea, and of course, the genius of Stevie Wonder.
I hope these presets take you back to the spirit of those records—and more importantly, I hope they inspire you to create something brand new!
THESE PATCHES WORK EXCLUSIVELY WITH THE PROPHET REV 2
