Sequential Prophet REV2 8-V Desktop
The Sequential Prophet Rev2 Desktop 16-V is a 16-voice polyphonic analogue synthesizer featuring two DCOs per voice, analogue LPFs, a sequencer, four LFOs, 512 factory programs, and MIDI In/Out/Thru connectivity. The Prophet Rev2 desktop module is as powerful and easy to use as its keyboard equivalent with the same controls. The Prophet Rev2 retains all the key features of the Prophet ’08 and expands on them with twice the mod matrix, waveshape modulation on all waveforms, digital effects per layer in stacked or split voice mode, a polyphonic step sequencer per layer, and more.
The Prophet Rev2 achieves its bold, punchy sound from its 2/4 pole, low-pass, resonant Curtis filters per voice. The effects section provides reverb, delays (standard and BBD), chorus, phase shifter, ring modulation, and distortion. In stacked or split voice mode, you can apply a different effect to each layer and effects parameters can be modulated through the Mod Matrix. The polyphonic step sequencer allows up to 64 steps and up to 6 notes per step.
The main features of the Sequential Prophet Rev2 Desktop 16-V include:

Specs like 8 modulation matrix slots does not do it justice.
You have plenty more, since all 4 LFO's can be routed directly to a parameter with amount, Aux Env as well and a bunch of parameters, think it was 5 more, below the 8 matrix slots. And still the 4 gated sequencers can also be routed directly if you don't need scaling with amount and just numbers are ok.
Then two layers having all this, making 8 voices each layer still awesome playability.
Also find factory presets very useful, maybe not for playing as are, but to give ideas how to use the various options there are. How did they do this swirling effect there etc.
And it sounds fantastic. Personally I don't use effects so much, I like the raw sound more and to add in computer and the context it is playing.
Nice copying options back and forth between layers, so you could create two voice unison modifying one layer a bit, or use as two complete synths. You can also set dual timbre to play as two different synths, even though it's own outputs if you want.
One thing I miss is polyunison, where each key down use up as many voices are left, kind of. Unison is all or nothing, with a setting of number of voices, but it is always mono. Doing dual layer though remedy that to an extent.
Saving options with preview of slot you are to overwrite are very smooth.
Unless you are using playing filter resonance on pitch it is not sensitive to termperature due to DCO's. So no need to calibrate or warm up really, just start the fun.
I saved one star for price if it was cheaper. But worth every penny now that 16-voice is not more than €100 more than 8-voice version.
Excellent and beautiful sounding legendary synth.
I have a Supernova 2, Virus TI and MS2000 and I think this is my favourite.
Super build quality. I would definitely stretch to 16 voices if you afford it
