Mine is packed away in the loft. Maybe I should get it down and have a play again. It does sound nice but it takes up so much room for just a few sounds.

And while I'm here again, my second favourite vintage synth is the Korg Mono/poly.

Just got Virus for Powercore, perhaps not truly vintage but awfully darn close.

My heart is torn between the Yamaha CS-70M ( Because Cs-80 are almost untouchable nowadays, and because I had a Cs-70 for a few years ), the ARP Odyssey, because its so different from other stuff, and a Polaris.

Ok let's go for the CS-70M

1986 was a different time, digital was king, everybody wanted the crisp sound of the DX synths. The ESQ-1 and Korg DW8000 were popular because they used wavetable oscillators which made it easier to get non-synth sounds out of a synth. Today we just use samples for that, and, it's not of much value in an analog synth.

But according to the title it's about vintage synths. Actually I own one and I have been after that one for a while: KORG DSS-1.

Maybe the DSS1 as well as the DW8000 are an exception in having no real analog osc but everything else is 100% analog: VCF (both use the Korg NJM2069 2/4 pole filter) & VCA. How cool is that?

Anyways, I really love my KORG. But it is huge and weights nearly a ton. I am glad that I am only using it in my studio environment and don't have carry it around by myself.

This one can produce some earthshaking bass sounds as well as classic M1 ones.

Does the Nord Micromodular count as a classic these days? If so i'll add it to my favourites.

Any hints as to what?
