I'd probably go for :

ARP 2600
Korg PS3200
Minimoog D

Should just be able to squeeze those into $20000 on a good day, although these days I'm not so sure.

Alternatively, I'd build me a monster Eurorack system and kiss goodbye to all free time.

Good one. I should have got that really, but I thought it would be something more exotic

I didn't know JMJ used one either.

The Poly 800. You can play it on the train, at the beach, or even on the toilet. What more could you ask for ?

That narrows it down a bit (Not !)

How about an OSCar ?

Failing that an Elka Synthex ?

Failing that I've run out of ideas.

Roland SH-7 ?

My 1st thought was a CS-30, but I thought the clips sounded to me more like a duophonic synth.

How about a CS40m ?

ARP 2600 ?

Yes. Unless you use the vocoder insert effect, then the Fizmo patch sound will be shaped by the incoming signal.

Press the MIDI button & scroll with the +/Yes until the LnL parameter is displayed. Then change the value.

Do you leave the machine on all the time ?

If not, then you need the batteries to remember your patterns.

Read the manual (page 5) to find out more.

Sounds like flat (or no) batteries. If you look on the back, you'll see a battery compartment. It takes 2 AA batteries.

Check this page out for info on the Tempest. http://www.davesmithinstruments.com/products/tempest/index.php Quoting directly from the 1st paragraph after the video : "• Each of the 6 analog voices has 2 analog oscillators plus 2 digital oscillators (with a large bank of included samples), Dave's cla...

If the Mono Evolver had 4 voices it would be a Poly Evolver :) There are many things you can do to achieve a 'fake' polyphony using an Mono Evolver, or any other multi-oscillator monosynth. For example if you want to play a C major chord, just tune Oscillator 1 to C, Oscillator 2 to E and Oscillator...

The Mono Evolvers have 1 "voice" (i.e. they are monophonic, 1 note can be played at a time), each "voice" has up to 4 Oscillators, 2 analog, 2 digital. The Poly Evolver has 4 "voices" (i.e. 4 note polyphony, up to 4 notes can be played at a time), each "voice" has up to 4 Oscillators, 2 analog, 2 di...

Go for the Mono Evolver Keys Pot Edition instead of the desktop. The desktop has rotary encoders, which start to go glitchy after a while (unless you use the Evolver Editor software on a computer of course). I plan to get a MEK to replace or even complement my desktop evolver at some point.
