Its probably been done at this site before - but !

What about having a vote, say open for 14-21 days for the best synth ever - as voted by visitors at Dancetech !

Its your site Kilo - your decision I'd say ?

My vote goes to the yamaha cs-80, haven't tried it; but judging by its sound and looks (and the doctor who theme) it's up there. Budgetwise I'd go for the korg ms-20.

Fairlight CMI, er no I changed my mind, I meant the SY22, I always get those two confused.

My mates got a Micra, and although it is limited to driving around spanish towns it is also good for mowing down shoppers in a strickly pedestrianised zone just to piss them off. and the blood washes off fine too.

I myself have been run over by him and may I say it is a most pleasureable experience. The rounded bonnet decreases the chances of leg/hip dislodgement meaning that you can confidently plough into the windscreen, sending shards of lethal glass into the drivers face, secure in the knowledge that you wont be wheelchair bound for the next few days.

I've got to say the Korg M1. Nothing short of groundbreaking...

yup the M1 was a great unit.... how about the legendary akai S950 !?..... wicked sampler... plenty of time.... totally variable sample rates to really get the most time out of it.... and a jubbly all-round sampler.... gets my vote.... (er... and the emax...had to get that in..)

Hands down, an eight panel Serge Modular. Nothing else has ever produced the freaky sounding shit that has come out of that thing. Actually, a couple of those linked up to a couple of maq16/3's or a SAM would do it better, but I've not had that opportunity as of yet. Not to sound like the analog snob or anything, it's just that nothing has produced such amazing sounds with such clarity, control, and precision, as well as having such an alive, organic feel to it, in my limited experience. If any of you get the chance, check Serge stuff out. An SK1 has a romance all it's own. Lowtech is a way of life and some things just don't compare. These are two. We still use an SK1 for a sound source from time to time.

The Casio SK-5 was my first keyboard, WOW! a kind of ASR-X for me in those days!, I mean it has a sampling engine and some ROM sounds, looping capabilities, synthesis elements like preset EGs, sequencer with loop mode, multitimbricity and pads. OK, OK....I know the ASR-X got resampling, but the SK has a 2.5 octaves keyboard!
I still use this machine and I seriously considering purchase the SK-1 for its extra EGs and additive capabilities.
One of my favourites tricks was sample a very short sound (like a scissors snap) and loop it to obtain a continous sound formed of the looped "single cycle " wave, then apply any EG and you have some weird pads that you can play with up to 4 notes of polyphony.
In further experiences I processed this sound with the filters of my Teisco S110f or S60f with GREAT results.
And it�s so simple and funny to use it!!!!

Holger,

Is Generator, that software that let's you build your own synth, and then build your own interface, using photoshop? I read about something like that, but don't remember what it's called. Still, come on bro.... THE SERGE MODULAR!!! I've also seen pictures of a PPG modular, butknow nothing about it. Any info?
