Would be more interesting to emulate certain plugins in hardware :hihi:

Impressively obscure. No idea what it is. How about this monstrosity or beauty? :hyper:

That's cool.

The synth I posted is the Coupland Digital Music Synthesizer which was never commercially released. In fact, it never actually worked right. And then the project was abandoned when they ran out of funding.

So we'll never know.

Teisco 240

It has a nice basic sound, the sound from 1:10 on sounds prototypically analog to me.

That one I posted belongs in the seventies but is actually a modern (or post modern) homage to vintage synthesizers.

Here is one I need to add to the list though, the EMS Synthi 100:

Yeah, it's doubtful that anybody is ever going to do this one, though I would LOVE to see it.

Virtual CZ emulates the CZ range just fine, including sysex compatibility...

Also add:

Synton Syrinx
Moog Prodigy
Yamaha CS-20M/CS-40M (and all the CS monosynths, including the CS-01!)
