guys - just curious: what is the most beautiful hw synth (visually stunning that is) you ever saw?

some of my personal favs would be:

1) korg wavestation

still one of the purest and slick design imho

2) korg oasys

slightly large, but finally a beatiful korg around again

3) waldorf wave

because those pill-shaped buttons really appeal to me

4) hartmann neuron

because it at least *looks* intuitive

any more ideas?

I love how the new Virus Polar looks. I love that albino look actually.

albino would be a choice for another thread...most beautiful software synths

and yes, the pølar really looks nice. another beauty is the korg kontrol49, but my ranking was too korgish already, i didn't want to sound biased

The NordLead synths, in my opinion. They really look like Ferrari synths (and sound like it to).

i once saw a ferrari branded acer notebook which would match the nordleads perfectly

oh - at the very (very very) bottom of my ranking, there should be the yamaha cs80.

I always have liked the look of the Andromeda. Not the most visually stunning but the most inviting. As far as visually stunning I like the new mini-moog rack....looks incredible.

most of these look nice...i'm not sure about the protone tho.

i like the v-synth for it's controllers. i wish there was a d-beam usb device...

How could I forget to mention my beloved Juno 2?!
That's what I call 80's retro! (Though it _is_ from the 80's of course...
