My favorite Oberheims is GForce OB-X, Sem, OB-1, Arturia OP-XA and Aly james OB-Xtreme.
For Linndrum sounds i use one of my Roland Hardware with Linndrum samples mixed with other drumsounds and the Gforce IconDrum.
Not the biggest fan of the Jupiter 8 since i find it to be a very vanilla and boring synth but i do like Tal J8 since it has a great unison feature and ways to shape the sound beyond a Jupiter 8 when i want more edgy sounds or shape the waveforms to be brighter.
For FM sounds i mostly use Arturia's DX7 V and Korg OPSiX.
I recently bought Plogue Chipssynth OP7 for a pure DX7 Emulation so i am still getting familiar with it.

The only stupid thing I can see is your post.
Ignorance does not protect against stupidity.

It's National Kindergarten Day so that seems an appropriate explanation for this thread.

Knowing DCrown, all I had to do was google Prince to find the answer.

Sad, very sad, and I'm not just talking about the death of Prince but also one individual's pathological obsession over him.
The obsession over "what's your favorite" is just as baffling to me.
Oh well to each his own I suppose..........

Everyday is DX7 day for me, and no question OPS7 by Plogue is by far the best emulation of it and then you can put it in extended mode and you get additional waveforms beyond sine, advanced MOD Matrix, feedback available on every operator, and Step Sequencers for modulating parameters on individual operators
