Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I’ve owned many, many synths over the years (Juno 106, ob6, rev 2, nord leads, etc.)
  • If you need that searing top end you’ll want that Rev2
  • The Rev2 is amazing in a mix
  • I still say the Rev 2 is one of the best sounding, highly flexible underrated synths that tends to get some similar ”hate” on it’s tone or filters until there’s a blind test.

Cons

  • I've looked at options like the Rev2 or the Behringer Deepmind 12, but I really am not clear on what synth in general is the best.
  • The top end on the Rev2 is very different than many of his other synths, including the Take5, P6, T6, PX, Pro2/Pro3, etc. It is somehow just a bit buzzier than the others, and sounds a bit unpleasant with the filter wide open, even with...
  • The base saw also doesn't have the slew rate spike at the top the Rev2 does - this a buzzy sounds that stands out but it can be tiring and gives the Rev2 that samey brassy sound with a saw osc when the filter is all the way open that peo...
  • Whereas with the Rev2 it always sounded brittle and harsh to my ears.
  • I sold my Rev2 because I didn't like it despite it's pedigree.

The base saw also doesn't have the slew rate spike at the top the Rev2 does - this a buzzy sounds that stands out but it can be tiring and gives the Rev2 that samey brassy sound with a saw osc when the filter is all the way open that people complain about.

I have a Rev2, but I find the UB-Xa more interesting sound-wise—much more alive and authentic to what you’d expect from a vintage synth. In comparison, the Rev2 can sound almost digital.

Working my way through the 512 patches on the Rev2 has been a disheartening experience. I reckon the number of useful patches is 5% and the number of flat out useless ones is above 25%.
