Sequential Prophet REV2 vs Korg Volca Drum

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

Irregardless of the feature set, this is the most important aspect, and this little guy is capable of producing a ton of different and interesting sounds, both drum-like and not drum-like. This is achieved by the flexibility of both the sound design controls and the Wave Guide effect. -The sequencer. The Volca offers step and real-time recording, pattern linking, per step accents, and part muting just like the big guys

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).

I would have given it a 5 if it was full poly but hey, can’t get it all for this price point.

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...

Insane amount of fun, very well-designed device that has a large amount of flexibility and heavy sounds (plus you can add your own). The filters and tweaks are great, it was hard to be disappointed with such an inexpensive and magical instrument.

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.

I did not power it on until a month ago, because my wife and I bought a house. Music was not on my to-do list. I have tried everything, Korg MIDI driver install, Librarian install, about a dozen different USB cords to connect, and I get the same result, NO CONNECTION. I took the unit apart, soldered a USB C connector in place of the original, and tried USB C cords

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?

I got my jam buddy one for Christmas and I've been nothing but impressed by some of the sounds that come from that thing
