Not really a "synth" but I'll say my MC-808. My first keyboard synth was my R3.

Octave Cat - This was claimed to be a rip off of the ARP Odyssey but actually had a sound all of it's own. Still got it but I haven't fired it up in ages. God knows where I'd take it to get a repair if one was needed (Maurice Plaquet, where I used to get it repaired is now very long gone)

If you dont count the silly casio thing I had (a toy what was it? Ah, just found it on a web search - VL-tone) the first REAL synth I bought new was the Korg MS-20 (lent to a 'friend' in a band in the 90's, never to be seen again) followed by a Korg Mono/Poly (new) - loaned to my brother who then had the gall to sell it to my other brother (that's right, families, be grateful for your friends!) - I only just got that one back, not letting it out of my sights again! (yes, I've finally learnt that lesson)

EML 101.

I could get a really good electric razor sound out of it......that's about it.

Yamaha CS10 about 33 years ago! I sold it when leaving Venezuela.
I have a trashed CS15 in the cellar waiting to be repaired and cleaned by me (when I'm 64! pam pam)

Radio Shack's version of the Moog, bought it new back in the early 80's. Wish I hadn't sold it a few years ago Sad

SH-101, new. Sometime in '83, after pestering my Dad.

Sold it to someone in Ramsgate about a year later.

I want it back - do you have it!!

Circa 1981, I was all set to buy a Paia Proteus (it was a kit that you assembled yourself, anyone remember Paia?) and I went into a music store and found a new synth by Sequential Circuits called a Pro-One so bought that instead. My 1st polysynth was a Crumar Trilogy.

My first synth was a Roland Juno-6, bought used in 1985.

Note: this was the 6. There was nothing programmable about this box. You couldn't even save patches on it - you simply had to remember how to configure all the sliders. You want a guitar sound? OK, um, we set the frequency slider to about... here... and this slider about... here... and - oh yeah, let's try a saw wave - and then set the attack to, oh, here or so, and the decay is... etc.

That's how we loaded patches in the old days. Barefoot. In the snow. Uphill both ways.

If I remember correctly, it COULD be controlled through MIDI, but I wouldn't really know as MIDI was way over my head.

REALLY nice sound, though. Might have been a simple synth, but the thing had teeth.

EDP Wasp that I bought in 1979.

Unbelievably I found it in a box last year when I moved! Hadn't seen it for decades!

Unfortunately I'd left some batteries in it, which had leaked acid all over the innards, and it refused to come back to life Sad

Absolutely superb sounds, but impossible to "play". Spent most of it's life making weird Sample/Hold noises.
