Roland SH-101, Model D, Neutron, DM12, BS2, and Vermona PF2 sitting next to me in my home studio.

In the work studio, we also have a Doepfer modular, VCS3, a few more BS2, Sythi-AKS, a horrible Moog / Realistic-branded mono, Sub37, MS-20 kit, another DM12, and some Pittsburgh modular.

My analog collection this date:


Behringer Deepmind 6



Though, a refurbed and midified Polivoks and ditto Altair 231 are on their way from Ukraine

If that's the MG-1 by any chance (I bet it is), give it a chance, please.
I used to have one, and it really excels in beautiful, melodious sounds, not so much basses or the typical Minimoog-style leads. Actually it sounds very much like a scaled-down version of the Liberation (I had them side by side).
Use it for what it is, and don't neglect it just because it's not a Mini...

Cheers,
Bert

ha, that's nothing. as a child i had a russian toy synthesizer, similar to the pif but with a bender. the sound was sawtooth at its best.
real sputnik feelig unfortunately i can't find a picture of him .. but something like that.

that's real analog

Ooooo, nice! Polivoks FTW!

Let's see...

Behringer: Deepmind 12 and Neutron (x2) .
Roland: Jupiter-6 and Super JX.
Novation: Bass Station 2

I've been trying to love it for years. Keep telling myself: this was made by MOOG! But it still sounds horrible.

And if it sounds like a Liberation, you have a nice synth... I have a Liberation, excellent expressive synth. Even if it is half expressive you are in good shape.

Updated! In light of some recent acquisitions, I now probably have the majority of the major early '80s models:
Oberheim OB-X
Oberheim OB-8
Prophet-5 (rev 3)
Memorymoog
Roland Jupiter-4
Roland Jupiter-6
Roland Jupiter-8
Elka Synthex
PPG Wave 2.2
Yamaha CS60
Korg Trident MKI
E-mu Emulator II+
Roland Juno-6 (x2 - long story, although both actually sound surprisingly different)
Roland Juno-106
Minimoog Model D (now with oscillator sync)

See my signature and a new Prophet 10 (rev 4) on order.

- OB6
- Peak
- Mother 32
- SubHarmonicon
- DFAM
- Subsequent 37
- Behringer MS1
- Behringer K2

A lot of options lol..

semi-analog Waldorf Rocket (digital osc, analog filter)

Very small rig to fit in my 8' x 12' room.

Vermona '14 with Vermona perFOURmer
MS-20Kit with Microbrute
Two Dreadbox Abyss (controlled by '14)
and my 6 Monotribes, with 2 being used and 4 stored.
A DSI Mopho SE and DSI Mopho module in storage.

Not sure if my SQ-80 would be considered analogue?!

Korg Poly 61
DSI mopho
Behringer K2
Behringer Model D
Behringer Neutron

Nice. You added some heavyweights to an already fantastic list, PPG still remain as your fav ?

Yep, the PPG's still my favorite overall - although the OB-X and Jupiter-8 are definitely running it close in terms of sonic quality (while the OB-X's raw creaminess and gorgeous choir-esque resonance cements it as my favorite 'genuine' analog, the JP-8 genuinely surprised me with its sheer girth, intuitive user interface and ear-caressing harmonics), neither (at least subjectively) quiiite match the sheer clangorous frigidity of the PPG. Not to mention that the Juno-6, despite slipping partially below the radar in the context of the price surge impacting its close sibling the Juno-60, has a pretty impressive sonic presence despite its relatively limited specs (particularly the immediacy of its sound, which bizarrely manifests differently in the two units I have - one is darker with a more distinct 'growl', whereas the other is brighter and clearer (and closer to the demos and soundbytes I had heard from the model prior)) and lack of patch storage, arguably moreso than the softer and fluffier tone of the 106.

I’m probably forgetting something and I don’t know if we’re counting stuff like Rhodes, Wurlitzer 200 and drum machines? Well anyways, enjoy.

What do you think of the Mono Lancet.
I have the 14 and the perFOURmer,
but wondered if that would be too much overlap.

Can you change the Note priority on the Mono Lancet?

Thanks

In order of acquisition:

Minimoog Voyager OS
Doepfer A100 modular (2 9U cases)
Prophet REV2 16
Prologue 16
VC340
Odyssey
Poly D
Summit (hybrid)

Currently not many, and none that are vintage:

* Grandmother
* MS20 mini
* Microvolt
* DFAM
* and various Eurorack modules

It's good in weird ways as is, not for typical synth playing which it's horrible for. A few mods make it a great synth.

OK... Not sure where on GearSlutz to post this, but since this is about Analog Synths...

My Yamaha CS-15 has a few keys that are starting to 'crackle' or sound like that intermittently go on and off playing. They also seem delayed in starting the attack on occasion. Is this a sign of some contacts starting to go bad? Something else?

Also, I probably should think about a general maintenance service on it anyway. If this were a vintage Sequential product I'd be sending it to Wine Country as they have always been fantastic. Who would people recommend for a vintage Yamaha? (Or Moog - at some point my Liberation will need a service also...)

Thanks in advance!

exactly. btw, Rocket is discounted this week.

I love the Mono Lancet! It's been the main bass machine of my live setup for many years.

I don't know if there's some hidden setting to change the note priority, since I never really use it with keys, only sequenced basslines. If I recall correctly it is most likely set to "last note".

The Prophet 6 is now gone - sold for a new Prophet 10 which unfortunately won’t be back in stock till January. Quite an expense for 4 extra notes of polyphony and an extra octave of 🎹 keys!

Also waiting for the new (blue) Retroaktiv MPG-8X to ship for the MKS-80.
