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.

Iridium, RDJ put out a branded version of the Bass Station II, Elektron Analog pair are available murdered out, Argon8 is ANGRY good, the Udo Audio Super 6 looks amazing, i'm crazyyyy excited for the Sonicware Liven 8bit Warps...

um. i'm mostly just listing shizz i bought or want.

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.

Not sure those count as new. Seem like lame cash-grabs to 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.

What you didn't get the Constant Contact mailing for "...the other fucking thing"

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

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

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.
