2020 was a heck of year for fixed architecture synths. Did we do this discussion already?

Yes but we can have it again I'm sure. 2020, a synthetic retrospective.

Analog synths never cross my horizon, but I guess I just missed the rest.

I have one of them Hydrasynth thingies (the one that looks like a piano) and I gotta say, although it is my first real synth...I am blown away by it's capabilities and ease of use / learning for a n00b like me.

None of the stuff I posted is analog. UNO and Hyrdra are both wavetable... I would have got one... but I bought YOUR Blofeld LMAO.

Psyre mentioned the Prophets. Never really went in for wavetables either. :lol:

Swear I'm in a good mood and wasn't intentionally being contrarian. Really thought there was something BIG that I missed. :hug:

I promise I didn't take it as such. I was just making fun of my inarticulate sentiments.
I like to pretend I know you pretty well. "Contrarian" is not your nature. You have a really cool website by the way. Not just saying it because of this exchange. You can ask our mutual friends I'm in a discord with.
All is well here!

Well, I recently aquired a JX-3P in less than stellar condition and have given it loads of tender loving. It's still getting over the neglect, but we have become life partners. My adoration for the JX-3P + my need for midi to CV/Gate conversion led me to purchase an A-01... turns out there is a cute story/interview with the lead engineer of the JX-3P and how he developed the 8bit/8kb VA synth post-retirement and how when a Roland employee saw it at a trade show, knew exactly what developing project it would be perfect for.

I plan to use the A-01 as a designated sequencer for my SH-09, running the A-01 into the 09's ext. audio in will give me a rad 2 oscillator hybrid synth with independant envelopes....this should end my SH-2 cravings.
The A-01 also supports sysex along with cc's, which let's me get a little more hands on with TX81Z and such. Puts it in a small class of sysex controllers.
