No love for the Oberheim Xa? wink I had a serious love affair with that one for quite a while, then on to the XPander (a lot more routing possibilities).

I also used a Yamaha SC80 in the studio (and toured with the lighter, less capable CS60) and found that far more amazing than the Polymoog. Somehow, I never felt quite right on that one...

I rather wish that things like the Kronos, instead of working on budget synth models like the Polysix, had a crack at things like Xa's, JP8's, or even, if they are stuck to having to use Korg models, the Trident and 01/W, for instance. I can't remember the last time I was in a studio, and said 'I think we need a bit of Polysix on this one'!

Nigel, have you tried the Arturia softsynth models for the Jupiter, or Moog's etc.? Not QUITE as good as the real thing, but better than most hardware emulations I've heard. so far, IMO.
