The ones that come to my mind are: Oberheim, Yamaha, Roland, and Waldorf. Am I missing something obvious? We also know there's been no emulation of it but probably sample packs.
Moog comes to mind. Rhodes would be another famous brand, not necessarily for synths, but the Chroma Polaris will be my next guess in case no one names it before me.
Has already been named

Because it was too ridiculous of a guess to include. Besides, it's not that.

ridiculous? why?
it's certainly less ridiculous than the A6 oder Behringer stuff.

also I thought all the synths mentioned on the list are not the synth in question?

(But I wasnt aware it had to bee Moog, Oberheim etc.)
thanks

If I have to explain why that synth, which would be near impossible to emulate in any meaningful manner, is ridiculous then I'm wasting my time.

The clues given:

All companies between A and L are eliminated.
A major company

That pretty much rules out everybody except the ones I've listed.

Analog synths makers that I have in mind (from M to Z):
  • Maplin (not really famous, but they made awesome synths, especially the 4600 and the 5600)
  • Moog
  • Multivox (not really famous either, but they made awesome synths in their MX series)
  • Oberheim
  • Octave Plateau
  • PPG (until 1976, after that year they made only digital synths)
  • Rhodes (not maker themselves, one of their two awesome synths was made by ARP and the other by Fender)
  • Roland
  • RSF (but I think it's totally covered with the Kobol emulation)
  • SCi
  • SiEL (they made great analog synths that I loved, notably the Orchestra, the DK600 and the awesome DK80)
  • Solton (they made a wonderful analog string-synth very late, in 1985, an astounding instrument which was at the same time string-synth, drum-synth, and even "electronic pipe organ" ! A friend of mine had this incredible string-synth)
  • Steiner Parker (very known by the professional musicians, much less by the amateurs)
  • Synton (their only excellent product was the Syrinx, and it was really good for its three awesome filters, its two envelopes, its two LFOs and its two quite special oscillators ! A real tiger under a very humble hood ! It's really one of the synths I would greatly love to see be emulated ! Their other product at this time was not really a synth (it was a vocoder) and was not very good, rather to forget compared to the other vocoders of that time)
  • Teisco (one of my favorites, formerly independent company then bought by Kawai, under the name Teisco they made some wonderful analog synths)
  • Wersi (much more known for their awesome organs but they made also excellent analog synths)
  • Yamaha

You forgot my Yamaha CS70m suggestion in the list, friend. It was here.
:wink:
