korg M1 + case + synth1 cards = £60 (hated it - parted it out for way more)
Juno 6 also £60 - back in 1993 before they got cool again.

they are the cheapest technically but by no means the BEST value I've bought.

oh just remembered I bagged a spare SY77 for £20 but needed some work

I really didn't like the M1... when I had one 20 years past it's sell by date (perhaps why)

Can't list ten as I like nearly all synths in some way or another.

btw my crumar performer is lovely... stop the hating. Nothing does early Duran Duran chorus pad sounds like that.

Can't recall on the midi+pg at same time sans organix/kiwi mod but I don't think so? I have the organix mod and it's allowed me to get rid of my PG-200 and use a novation remote zero which is actually MUCH nicer to use - smooth easy knobs and full LCD readout of parameters - sure it doesn't look as ...

^^ What he said. I've just started listening to it as well and I'm really enjoying it. Among other things, it's a damn nice endorsement of a Poly 61! OT: Yeah, if any of you have an Android phone, I'd highly recommend subscribing to Google Play Music. It basically gives you access to every album ev...

yeah that's a polysix in the alphaville shot, isn't it? - brown not grey end cheeks, all the patch mem buttons on display...

Some of the Juno vibe/filter but with Dual Oscs and unique sounds. 8P/10 are completely different. The tone around 50 seconds is really nice. And for a synth with software envs it doesn't do too badly.

a little update on my lovely 'dilemma' for anyone remotely curious... V-Synth is definitely the overall 'winner' to me, I would be insane to let that go to keep the JD-800. However, I LOVE the JD-800 so - yes am keeping both for the foreseeable future and believe they can co-exist usefully and beaut...

That would be so awesome, I'd cry. V-Synth is the best synth ever

It so is, and I've tried a lot of the classics - brilliant machine

+1 (+1(+1))

Replace with CZ-1 Of course!!!!!!! it's a great synth much better than (esp) DX21 and (a bit) CZ1000

The velocity and extra poly etc make the CZ-1 the best of the CZs by far. Rare though!!

V-synth *IS* Roland's best synth all things considered.

Would still love a Jupiter 8 though.

smaller setup. 2-4 synths max. for clarity and productivity. Have had massive setups before (15+ keyboard synths all set up at once :lol: :lol: ) felt like a kid in a sweet shop and was using sounds from synths just because they were there.. was in serious danger of floating away in a sea of my own ...

Heh. Juno 106. Maybe not hated so much as always shunted aside by the "ermehgerd the Juno 6 and 60 are FAR superiuh to the 106" crowd. Sure, I know all about the reliability factor and all, but acetone restores chips AND there are good chip clones out there to keep these synths alive. It's no sweat...

Just got a VC-1 card for my V-Synth, it's great. I prefer it to my actual D-50 because of a more hands on feel to editing and 'live updates' to filter changes. The ability to clean it up a little is good too (even though the D-50 mode itself already sounds cleaner than my D-50 so i leave it in that ...
