all my old roland synths get played and recorded almost every week, sh-2000 is my fav at the moment, so thick and creamy with great lfo and resonat filter/ much better than juno6s but any of my old roland collection work in a track straight away, which cannot be said for any of the new roland or korg synths ive played or briefly owned that were made after the 80s, even the jx8p is good for electro sounds once in a while+ they all sound even better going thru some old roland/boss fx pedals 303 gets its classic sound instantly, running a newer purely digital synth thru distortion pedals etc just makes it sound pixelatted and grainy, last time i was at a store playing with new synths the only ones that were fun for more than a couple of minutes were some of davesmiths synths and access virus (i want) the gaia didnt sound juno or SHish just modern bleh.
come on roland i want a new analouge synth moster with 303 bass module that is not a bitch to programme, td808 drum machine and a proper new sh/juno style synth that can be mono or poly and has built in tape echo...yeah all in the 1 unit like an old organ or something that would be the bomb i would buy for sure, gotta be all analouge sound generators and original filters from the units.
i will order as soon as availbe thanks
