jeremykeys

Having started the "What keyboards do you wish you never sold?" discussion, I thought I'd change it up a little with a wish list of sorts.
There have been a ton of keys that have come and gone and most of us have wished we could have owned but didn't or couldn't for whatever reason.

I remember only a few years ago seeing something called a Neuron. Kind of like a Wavestation on steroids. A lot of knobs and a bunch of them that also acted like joysticks if I remember correctly. LED's around the knobs to show you the position . Very cool.
When I was a kid an ARP 2500. Not the smaller 2600. WAYYYYY out of my budget though.

Roland D50
Korg Wavestation
Kurzweil K2000
Yamaha SY77
Yamaha FS1r
Hartman Neuron
Korg Oasys (but my lust for that is mostly satisfied now I have a Kronos)

Having written that list down, I'm amazed how light it is on earlier analog synths! Although I enjoy a nice analog sound, I tend to prefer them in combination with digital elements, which I think is why Kronos suits me so well. MS20 + STR1 + MOD7 is to me a much more interesting combination than something like MS20 + Moog + ARP would have been...

Oh yeah, and I always wanted a Korg Wavedrum...

Probably, a Jupiter 80. Even though they are new, it would be cool to have one. Smile

Would be between two keyboards. Would be either:

Yamaha CS80
or
Korg Trident Mk II

Polymoog.

Gary Numan did a big favour to the Synth industry in the 70's with this beauty IMO.
I was 7 and I wanted one.

My dad got me a second hand, valve powered Lowrey organ instead. Rolling Eyes

Out of the old(ish) stuff and being realistic, I guess I am still on the hunt for a Roland JX8P... Other than that, I've pretty much satisfied my 80's gear lust!

SY77 or 01/W. Either one would've been much more powerful than the SY35 that I used in my teens. Then I saw a Quadrasynth demo, and that blew me away. I eventually got the S4+ rack version of that, but the honeymoon was short-lived as I fully moved to a K5000S/PC88 combo soon after.

DX7, I was there when the yamaha rep brought it to Orlando Fl.
I liked it but there was already a 3 month waiting list.
I went home with the Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 which I still have.
And now I have the Kronos 73 so DX7 is off the list Very Happy

When I bought the Kawai K4 as first synth because I didn't have the money for a Korg M1, after seeing the disadvantages (bad sound) of the K4 I wished I would have saved for the M1.

However, I was not that unlucky ... almost chose for the Yamaha SY22 which is very limited as only synth (for acoustic piano/organ sounds in a rock band).

When the Korg M3 came out I just bought the Extreme about a year before (can be two) and found it to early to upgrade, so I bought the M50 ... and now the Kronos is here I'm going for that one.

Elka X705/707 .... ok, it's more a portable organ, but had great synth sounds...

Korg T3.
My first professional workstation which I bought in 1991. The first and last one where I really had that wow effect. None keyboard to my knowledge had such a sound variety and quality back at that times.
