You might find something interesting!
BTW, I own a Macbeth M3X and it rules. Just ordered a Red Square too. I just can't get enough!
Analog is... analog!

Thats a virtual analog however...not a true analog.

except it's not real analog

if you want analog - go for an older board, ala Roland Juno-6, Juno-60, Alpha Juno 1 or 2.

xoxos makes a good point too - can't go wrong with a mini modular! or check out:

the M3X looks shit hot

The Alpha Junos had DCOs though...only kinda "real analog"

I know its not the most versitile unit but I picked up a Oberheim Matrix1000 super cheap. Its a 1u true analog unit. Nothing special...actually its very stripped down and basic for your modern analog...but it gets the job done and it didnt hurt the pocket book much

Oh my goodness yes, I listened to some samples and these Macbeth synths are lovely.

Definitely check out the Studio Electronics site, I own an Omega 2 and it blows away every vsti I've ever tried. Another option is the Cwejman S1, it got two excellent reviews recently, one in Keyboard and the other in SOS. In his review, Jim Aikin hinted that it's the fattest synth he's heard in years, even fatter than the Voyager. It costs less too.

And as someone mentioned, for even less than a Cwejman you can get a basic (if you want to call it that) modular system from www.synthesizers.com

Happy shopping!

And you could always go for this (I can't

That Buchla has everyone drooling lately! (Including myself)

Be careful that drooling doesn't suddenly turn into gagging when you see the price tag.

Sure, I'd like to have one of the Buchla synths, but I could buy several other really nice synths for the price of one fully stuffed Buchla 200e system. If I had that much money to spend on synths, that's exactly what I would do too. If I wanted to stick to a modular synth, I would build my own. There are some really nice kits available these days, from several different modular synth companies. (Of course, it helps that I'm a keyboard technician with the skills to properly build these. I realize that a kit isn't for everyone.)

Yep, gagging is a pretty good description of what I did when I saw the prices.

There's a guy on the synthesizers.com list that sold most of his analog collection in order to buy a 200e.

Surely the Andromeda can't be made with discrete components - there's just too much packed into a tiny package.

You might want to look at Dave Smith's web site. If you are familiar with Sequential Circuits and Prophet synths, you have already seen some of his work. He has a new mono synth he calls the Evolver. It has two analog oscillators, two digital wavetable oscillators, pure analog filters, and a sequencer thrown in. It even has two audio inputs so you can process external audio through it. If you want polyphony, he also offers a rack-mount, 4-voice version of the Evolver.

I think you'll find his monophonic synth is very affordable.

Oh, it could certainly be made with discrete components. It would just be a bit bigger than it currently is.
