If you could pick one hardware synthesizer/sampler that still hasn't made it into a plugin, what would that be?

My choice would be (I know it's a bit silly - but I am a sampler nerd after all) a Fairlight. If it could be done properly.

I'd like a Roland D-50 (or D-10), and my trusty, old Korg Poly-800!

None!

There are so many already I think that covers everything I could think of

Yep - I am a hardware slut too, but I like to work with both software and hardware. Different approaches gives different results.

The D50 would be fantastic as a plugin. Just look what Korg did with their M1 and Wavestation.

Ensoniq synths, particularly TS12, MR/ZR series and FIZMO. EMU Audity 2000. An exact digital modelling of Ensoniq DP4+ effects unit would also be neat.

It's funny you mention the DP4 which is a favourite unit of mine. A couple of years ago I was contracted to make reverb impulses from the reverbs of the ASR10 (which is pretty much the same as the DP4). Man if I had to work hard for those! Especially the non-highest quality reverbs became gave totally insane results with really high frequencies.

Bonkers.

Roland-ey goodness - a D-50 would be fab, as would a complete XV sound engine plugin. Or maybe the V-Synth. Also the JX-10 (hi Martin!).

Moog Prodigy with a proper osc-sync emulation (looks like u-he might be on this after the Pro One).

Recently i bought a Novation Bass Station II and at the moment there is no softsynths that is close to the sound and features of it.

Two plugins that are somehow close are e.g. Tone2 Saurus 2 and Waves Element 2. DIva does not really nail it at all, especially in terms of features.

If someone would do an emulation that also works polyphonic it would be great. Novation made an emulation for the old Bass Station but that one misses a lot of features from the Bass Station II.

Would love a straight port of the DW6000 and the QuadraVerb.

A Lexicon Vortex would be nice.

Even better would be a DW-8000. I got one here since around 1 year and love it, especially the filter.

a nordlead , the modular , the 1/2 or the 4 and then analog sh5 cwejman semi modular and others, even a futur retro xs...but no need to dream tbh better save and by the real deal cause software technlogy is not quite there yet to emulate those analog synths properly

+1 for DW-8000, used to have one, loved it.

What hardware are you missing in software?
