Well it looks cool I hope you get it working. The more I think about it, the less I really need the sysex. I would just be starting with a patch from the prophet 08 and then transfer them to the Rev 2 using NRPN. While it would be useful to have the information for the sysex I could still program the machine with just NRPN controls and a patch from another machine as a start.
Don't know if this is a bug or user error - don't *think* it's user error, could be wrong though, just can't figure what it might be. Anyways, I updated my Rev2 desktop to 1.1.14.18 yesterday to try out the poly sequencer MIDI out. It works, but I'm not getting any note off information, all the notes just hang there. I've got a workaround, I have my DAW (Bitwig) set up to force all incoming notes to a fixed length (I'm using 16th notes) and then everything works fine. So it's not freezing up, it's continues to send the correct note information. There's no MIDI incoming to the Rev2, just MIDI out from the Rev2 to my DAW. edit: I'm using DIN, not USB for MIDI. I'm clocking the sequencer with gates/triggers.
SysEx still would be the only way to do memory management, even if NRPN's could be read out... SysEx has no limits in size either... With NRPN you have a maximum number of 16384 which will be way too little if you were to address a lot of programs this way. You would have to set the current memory program slot by defining an NRPN as a program pointer in that case... It is doable, but highly controversial i would say.
Somewhere around noon. Out of curiosity I compared it to my Moog Subsequent and it has actual noise coming through on Init with the filter cut off all the way--probably due to gainstaging. Not sure what the cause is on the Rev2 but it's not as noticeable when the VCA Env Amount is down to 50%, which many use as a default for more vintagey tones.
So my Neutron arrived today. Yes it does have patch cables. Six to be exact each about 12” long. It also comes with the ribbon power cable if you want to mount it in a Eurorack case.
The oscillators and the filter sound great. The fact it has an analog BBD delay and only cost me $249 (Sweetwater GearFest show price) is hard to beat as far as bang for buck goes. It has more patch points than my Mother-32 and a total different vibe. I think they will compliment each other nicely.
.... I did check with another person on Facebook, he mentioned the same, that he got 6 Patch cables, but he had to buy 6 more, though he mentioned 12 cables was not enough. With the combination of patch points, not sure exactly how much is required.Somewhere around noon.

It was probably not accurate to say noise, it is the oscillator coming through. It is just much louder than I expected.
If you do the Init patch, cutoff to 0, turn up and slowly start increasing cutoff - at what cutoff value does your intended oscillator sound get to be louder than the high part coming through?
