Which synthesizer(s) do you regret getting or selling

[LBN]

I bought a Korg T3 because it was the hot thing at the time. Then I regretted getting it because all of the sounds in it had been heard in a thousand songs and advertisements. So I sold it. Now I wish I had it because it has all those sounds heard in a thousand songs and avertisements. Plus, I liked the keyboard.

Regret Selling:
Prophet-5 (I still haven't bought the P08 I was planning to replace it with)

There is a minty looking P5 on Noisebug that I keep telling myself to ignore...

[iProg]

Selling:

microKorg - it was so fun and intuitive to play with, should have kept it but really needed cash!

DX-7 - never used it, didn't have space for it, but you never know you love things until you get rid of them

I now regret buying my Korg R3. It was a good first synth but now Id much rather sell it and get something better.

If you had kept the microkorg you could replicate some of the new Duran Duran Material. I had one too its a good little synth, just hated the tiny keys though, especially since I didn't have it hooked up to midi so I was stuck with tiny keys and big hands

regretted getting:
- DX7
- EMU 6400
- Amek mixing console

All of em just from before the moment I stepped into the soft stuff!

Seems like a lot of people who bought one of the latter E-mu samplers wound up regretting it. What was it about them?

i hated the interface. midi noise was going through the output. scsi was a pain to set, i've never been able to use it with the s5000, it was always crashing.

i did love the s5000 10 000 times better even without effects.

I know, Nick uses it a lot on Astronaut. Fortunately it is the most common synth around

They came out just before software samplers became really usable, and as the softies were cheaper and easier to use and integrate with a software sequencing program the newer E-Mus looked clunky in comparison and had no resale value. That'd be enough to make me regret buying one if I had.

not a synth, but i regret getting my SM Pro Audio M-Patch2 (passive volume control / switch box). all the pots are scratchy, some of the switches are scratchy too, and some don't even work anymore. what a s**t for a item i bought new. and it all happened within the guaranty time, but of course the guaranty doesnt count for pots/switches/jacks. pfffffffff!

havent sold anything yet. i try to buy only stuff that i intend to keep forever and which is usable.

all the big analog polys

chroma
4 voice
xpander
ob-x

+1 regret selling microkorg. Not too difficult to get it back at the moment though. Just need the cash!

My Roland SH-101. I got $700 for it and bought a 42" flat screen tv in it's place. I still regret it every time i watch tv....lol
