Sequential Prophet REV2 vs Audio-Technica AT-LP120

Pulled the trigger on this Prophet Rev2 desktop. Hooking it up to my Arturia Keylab Mkii 49. Sounds amazing. Only other synth I’ve owned is a Korg Minilogue and I didn’t love it so I sold it, and have just been using Arturia Analog Lab and V Collection 8, but this Rev2 is amazing

It's lost a couple of kilograms from the previous model, for example, and the included atvm 95e cartridge will die a terrible death if you wanted to u...

In this price range I would probably get a Prophet Rev2, which is an amazing synth that will keep you busy for years. Vintage synths like the Juno or DX7 are cool, but they have a lot of maintenance issues. I would start with a modern synth (unless you find an amazing deal for one of those).

As far as warped platters go, mine was in perfect shape. No warping at all. I used the cartridge that came with it and still use it to this day. It works great for the price and I probably won’t upgrade anytime soon because I’m not playing through a $3,000 hi-fi system

If you like, or values the gated sequencer can either be free running like this or work on a step-by-step basis in key step mode, [, Music, ]. I think...

I await that opportunity soon and will revisit this report. One more observation thing. AT headshell has no parallel surfaces so when I wanted to hold it in a small plastic sided electronics vise, almost impossible to hold it firmly.Something else interesting

TL;DR I want something with responsive knobs and sliders that’s gonna be able to give me nice warm and interesting chord/pad sounds plus fat funky bass-lines and fun melodic runs.

For instance, I read a lot of positive comments about the Prophet Rev2, but then I’ve also seen videos from people who I share similar tastes who say they didn’t like it, and I know from experience that minority opinion of people I’m familiar with is way more valuable than a consensus of strangers. So I don’t think I would trust reviews or scores from a site like the one you’re proposing.

The media could not be loaded. I was very surprised at the quality and weight of this device - it was very easy to setup and initially it looked wonderful. But then I noticed that the record was moving up and down as it rotated - at first I thought it was warped except that this was a new record that's been played twice in two years. After removing the record and the turntable mat and getting down at eye-level with the turntable it became apparent that the platter was warped

So this in on paper something that's not clear, which leads me to believe it's a sonic thing, and I get that. So I've tried listening to some videos and such and I'm pretty sure I can rule out the Rev2 as being too similar to some of things, the P-5 and the P-6 having the VCO's that are so critical. But between the P-5 and the P-6 I'm having a bit a trouble really distinguishing things. Can someone help me out here?

*Update* Sept. 20, 2012: After using this product almost daily for a couple months, I have noticed some issues worth mentioning. The spring-loaded pins in the tonearm sometimes get stuck, so when swapping headshells, one channel cannot be heard. I've been lucky that the toothpick in a standard swiss army knife is enough to fix it
