Is there a reason other than the cost of production? I like the sound of the Prophet 5 and the Yamaha CS80 and of course the minimoog, I am not as impressed by any of the analog synths still in production, there is just something missing from the modern moogs and the Prophet 08. I quite like the Arturia minibrute and the MS 20 mini.

Analog polysynths are great but a pro 1 did things the Prophet 5 only dreamed of, Minis and Synthi A's are monophonic for a very good reason.

I still love the mellotron but I am doing much more with subtractive synthesis these days. I mainly use the almighty MicroKorg or the wonderful Synth1 plugin. But even to my ears analog synths sound more pleasing, but I can't afford a true analog polysynth. The Volca is polyphonic but works much better as a monophonic synth. These are 2 of my latest efforts for all of you who love endlessly repetitive electronic loop music.
I have more sense now than to buy a vintage synthesizer but I suppose I wouldn't be able to resist a MiniMoog if one turned up here.Mark--Gino Wong BirgeloBSComm, BSEE,ReRED Recording, Analog Sound Design
