If I were you, I'd be careful to take the vintage route. Most of the Mono/Poly and Pro-One I've seen or owned did not age very gracefully and, in the case of the later, were poorly built and had a crappy keybed. I'd go with either the Sub-Phatty or the SH-2. If I'm not mistaken, the Sub's filter is ...

I have a DSI Tetra, which is roughly equivalent to the Mopho X4. It's a nice portable keyboard, and it's definately capable of producing usable pads as long as you don't start playing big chords. I'm a Juno 106 user BT, and I use my Tetra as a substitute when I'm on the road. It doesn't sounds exact...

Hi, I had a SH-1000 for a couple years. Very fun synth, more flexible than expected and even some of the presets were usable in the right context. It has a fast envelope so it's good for bass.

The Juno is more "plastic", more clean, purer and tighter. The Polysix,like others have mentioned, is gr...

People would first record a sync track with the intended tempo on their multitrack/portastudio. They would then sync sequencers/drum-machines/arpeggiators using that same track.

I have both a Polysix and a Juno 106. I don't have much time to post, so here's my brief take... Polysix : -VCOs will need adjustment once in a while, but they are very rich sounding; -SSM Filters are super nice too. Great for textures, brass, pads and strings. Great at "dark and mysterious"; -Onboa...

Another con :

No noise source.
