Why not have a mix of the two, cover all bases. It's nice to hear a huge analogue sound with thinner digital scattered around it. It's not one or the other.

Yeah exactly, and in my case I've decided to keep most of my vintage analogs, but I guess what I'm saying is it's easy to get sidetracked on the classics and forget just what you can do with some of the new analogs and VA/Hybrids coming out now these days.

And I think you're right, a good mix is best, as I've found having too much of one or the other and not having a diverse setup, can make things harder.

You know I'm always here to help if your synth pile gets too big.

I just wanted to add the SMS MARS by Andy Pledger.
http://www.syntheticmusicsystems.co.uk/

I have not been able to find any demos. Anyone know how it sounds?

I didn't know the MARS was still in production? The site itself hasn't been updated since last year.

It's been out since 2007...

Here are some demos, but the review is in german and I think you might need to be logged in to listen to the files...:

There was also a test on SOS in 2007 but IIRC no demo files...

If the MInibrute is a big success as it looks like it is , here's hoping 2013/14 will be the "year of the Arturia polysynth".
