I’d like to join the convo. I love synths. I have some Moogs and Make Noise ones myself, but the pride and joy is my Ensoniq SQ-80.

Ensoniq SQ-80

I'm jealous. Definitely a (kinda) modern classic.

And Mr. Bungle used that one on their self-titled album.

I got really lucky with getting it. I traded my last guitar to go all in on synths for it.

The only flaw is the menu diving, but at least the interface is pretty intuitive. Switching stock presets is fly zone quick. I have a replacement floppy drive emulator coming in so I can actually save custom patches though.

looks at dusty guitars in corner guiltily

I can never give up guitar entirely. I'm still much better with a fret board than a keyboard. Though I did sacrifice my pedal board to the synth gods.

No not the pedal board :(…… (/sarcasm)

I got a MOOG grandmother for $650 and I felt like I got away with a theft. I never thought I’d own a MOOG. I used to live a block from the factory in Asheville and I would go over there all the time to play on their display ones for hours.

Whoa, jealous lol. I use the DFAM and Subharmonicon which is a lot of fun but the Grandmother is a modern classic. Just a phat synth

It’s so much fun. Sounds like you got a nice collection though
