Yamaha TX7 is so ugly I wouldn't be surprised if it's the ugliest synth ever. But I got one just the other day for $90 so I can't complain

, hell yes.

HOW f**king DARE THEY?!?!

That EML Electrocomp 100 is gorgeous!

I'd say that the Gleeman Pentaphonic Clear is an ugly bastard. I've never liked the look of the Oscar, but it's not a synth I'd judge based on looks.

IMO, the ugliest and worst sounding synth I've ever used is the Roland JD-800. I just don't get the appeal of that one at all.

One of the ugliest synthesizers must be one of Yamaha DX synths.
Poo brown with mint green buttons.

Had a DX27 which I hated. I sold for a beer

EML ELectroComp and Elektron gear is among my favourite ones (well, obviously not the blue EML, but still, the layout is wonderful, the font is great, etc).

That Gleeman Pentaphonic Clearis indeed ugly, urgh.

The DSI Evolver is ugly, too.
The DSI's Mopho's font is rather terrible, indeed...

ImpOSCar? Love the sounds but what an ugly friggin thing it is!!

Come on, can't you do better than that? All those synths are charming compared to a TX7. Show me one synth at the same ugliness level as TX7

, or at least close.

Just close your eyes while you play it. Give it a slap on its bum and leave taxi cab fare on the table before you leave

the Studio Electronics ATC-1 is rather fugly:

but I guess it sounds so good, that it doesn't give a damn about being ugly

cheers,

My vote goes to the Alesis Andromeda.

I even bet, that synth would have been much more popular, if it wasn't that ugly.

Anything where they appear to just shoehorn the controls onto a panel with no regard for aesthetics at all.
