Nonsense, I spent the entire year of 1985 working on a Synclavier - it was pretty hot in its day, but it's nothing like what's available today (I still have tapes of our work produced on that machine).
As I recall, it had a pretty nice additive synth engine, using four tone modules, but its sampling was primitive as was its sequencer etc. The mono sampling option cost 60k and the stereo, an astounding 250k - and that was in 1985 dollars.
The separate CPU was the size of a small refrigerator.
Besides, it's a dead product, long dead.
