I always liked the C3 myself ( "Church Organ" model ) although mechanically it is said to be identical to the B3. I'd love to have one in the studio, with the dual channel Leslies, but I think I'm going eventually spring for some Leslies anyway for my B4 software. I'm guessing after I get past the physical and visual differences, soundwise it probably
isn't going to make a lot of difference to me.
I'd love to have one of each of my favorite classic analogs and wave synths, including a CS80, Moog Modular, Arp2600, Oberheim Matrix 12, Korg Wavestation, Prophet 5, amongst others. What I don't want is to have to repair them... they are all getting on in age... so I guess I'm already as close as I am going to get with the likes of the software emulations from NI, Arturia, and several others. I wouldn't mind having one real one though, and if something falls into my lap... Til then, the "classics" are destined to remain on my laptop.
They don't make the arranger I want, and maybe they never will. I want the standard functions that todays top enders have, but with the ability to add custom modules that interact and can supply realistic drum patterns in the way that Jamstix does, or lay out preset patterns on complex algorithims that can be modified in real time, ala Korg Karma and to a lesser exten Jammer software.
I'd also like one that has add on plug in capabilities, like the 9000 pro had with the AN, VL, Drum etc add on boards. The downfall there was that many of the editing functions were inacessible from withoin the keyboard, so a computer hookup was necessary in order to accomplish any real editing.
