Sequential Prophet REV2 vs Rega Planar 2

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

NOW, everything is duckey at 33.3. Amazon was also great about sending it back for a replacement but after setting it up properly, leveling it and installing the upgrades, I wasn't willing to do that but Rega was great about the dust cover! I guess the point is, you need to do the upgrades mentioned to get the TT to spin properly. It does sound great with the Ortofon blue but the Audio Technica was dead nutz at 33

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).

2- The overall design could be better for a >$650 turntable. 3- There is no auto stop, that's a bit frustrating, again when you pay over $650 for a turntable 4- Design is simple and honest 5- They could use a way better RCA cables, it feels cheap 6- There is no separate ground connection, but it seems Rega designs the left channel ground as chassis ground, but it depends on the pre-amp, if it uses the same ground for both chassis and shield. Overall, I would./Could buy a better turn table in this price range

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...

The haste is what makes this good potentially although 7 mana is still a lot for White/Red. Feels like a Planar Chaos card a bit but it's cool they are exploring new design space for White/Red.

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.

It looks very similar to the RB 3 3 0 on the plainer 3, except with automatic bias adjustment and a cheaper captive interconnect terminated in molded ...

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.

____________________________________________ Initial Setup: (This review might change.) Four things struck me as really cheap after I first set up this turntable. First, the little mat that is put on the glass platter is not round. It is off by a bit, so when it spins, it looks off balance

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?

Marks out of ten, now that’s a bit difficult. I’m not saying it’s unimprovable, but the Audiolab/Denton combo works really well and I’d say it’s a more grown-up system than most. Everyone who’s listened to my Dentons or Lintons comes away impressed; more consistently than any others I’ve had. But we’re talking your ears, your taste
