I like the look of the standard ones better, with the exception of the lcd screen. If someone did a mod so you could put in a screen with a different background colour that would satisfy me

I've always found the Polymorph rather sexy.

My old Buchla 200 did it for me! That and the ARP 2500.






This is perhaps the one I would kill to have though...

If you thought the raven was awesome-looking, check this out:







The Variator was basically a Raven-Max on steriods, it was never officially released, but this one appeared on ebay.de a few weeks ago.

The Nucleus (that never made it past a CAD drawing) is also rather good-looking



Interestingly, this showed up on ebay.nl last year... a broken quasimidi nuleus front panel... an unfinished prototype maybe?



This is my first post here, I'm from Harmony Central KSS, 'updates' in their site weren't quite to everybodies taste and its practically a ghost town over there...

I really love the look of the 303. Very charming little hoss. Here's mine with a technology transplant switchboard. This was shortly before I reinstalled the default. Don't waste your money and time on technology transplant crap. The parent company is a cheap component manufacturer in China. Their switchboard simply does not work!

I'm surprised Clavia didn't make a rack/desktop version.

The answer is always the same - no.

The physical look is not the point.

It's the only synth whose sound is so thick, you can actually see it.
