Synths you must own before you die!

I have a CS1x, but I wouldn't say it's a "must-own" synth. Even if it was a nice thing in the 90s maybe.

Eh... The CS1x was plastic rubbish. Complete crap with horrible sounds, terrible controllers and just an all-round piece of garbage. :)

At least you can use the DSPs to make it sounding a bit better. :P (I least _I_ made some nicer patches with distortion and stuff. :D)
Saga Musix: Just because a car has faulty breaks which makes it easier to dump off a cliff, it doesn't make it a good car. ;)

Gloom: Well sure, but a faulty car is still better than no car at all :P (And I can't afford a ca...err, synth).

roland alpha juno2 -- my first "real" synth :) still have it, still love it. (mks-50 is the same thing in a rack case)

just software, please. All those hardware synths annoy me due to their lack of flexibility

On the subject of Korg M1 - both the choir pad preset "Universe" and the piano (think: every damn italo tune, and most likely a lot of early happy hardcore/rave) are classic sounds.

I'd happily have one to sample stuff from :)

you could try korg legacy collection (wavestation + m1 re-visited, should sound authentic since both synths were digital)

but what is actually cutting edge now? people always talk about the old stuff. is it just softsynths?

Oh - if you want to go modular nothing beats the Buchla 200e.. At least for the price :-)

Long time ago I purchased a groovebox, but my music skills was non-existing, so that was a total disaster.
