I love the look of the EML PolyBox, but would like to add...

Instantly recognizable, aesthetically balanced, beautiful (i wish i had one, i'd even take a reissue... even with minikeys)

Maybe not the sexiest but I gave my MEK a makeover that is sure to pop up a few tittyboners.

Re: What is the sexiest looking synth of all time?
I prefer gray/white synths. They seem more "scientific" that way. The more it resembles hospital equipment, the better.

Re: What is the sexiest looking synth of all time?
lol I'm the thread starter and I just thought but I never actually put my opinion on this yet! I'd probably go with the DX1!
Looks like a spaceship control panel or something! love it. Don't own it sadly haha.
also +1 on the 80s and 90s Akai white/cream/grey whatever colour you want to call it. It always stands out! big fan of the 950 here even though to public joe bloggs it probably looks like something that should be in a science lab but to me that's cool!

3) Moog Mini Voyager
4) Novation KS4 or 5
By the way, MOOG logo is the coolest!!!
