I always liked the way the Blofeld looks.

I dunno about the second guy, but I'd trust Greg M. at analogsynthservice with anything. He did a great job with an Arp Odyssey I had for a little while. I'd drop him a line and see what he can do for you. Since it's a Prophet 5, you'd want to pack it very very well, perhaps consider buying a hard c...

Nothing trumps these:

Yeah, pretty sure it's a black TI Snow. :/

Add the Alesis Ion to the list now... I'm not sure what else out there gives you this much bang for the buck. And the keys are actually still white on this one!

Pretty much what Ashe said. So don't pay $1200 for a Virus KB. I have no idea who's asking that much, but you can get the desktop version of the Virus B for $500-$600.

Oh man I want one so bad... This is gonna be one of the best new things out there.
I just do not have the capital to invest in that kind of thing right now though.

Not quite, actually.

Get a Virus TI keyboard or Polar.

In my opinion Arturia is about a year and a half late on this. Dubstep has kinda come and gone.

Almost missed this one. Yamaha introduced a couple cool new machines last month. http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/yamaha-unveils-mx49-and-mx61-synths-565536 http://usa.yamaha.com/products/music-production/synthesizers/mx/?mode=series http://www.bandiera.it/site/components/com_virtuemart/shop_imag...

The JP-8k is a decent piece of kit. Always perfect for instant gratification.

Poor machine. The previous owner must've had drill bits for fingers.

Why not just program the Roland JP-8000, Roland SH-201, and DW-8000 from scratch? Had the JP and DW before and they're a breeze to tweak.

As for the Roland D5, yikes. :[
I have a sick D-10 I just keep for parts in case I need Roland keys sometime down the road.
