+1
The gang of three will also love to read the survey results.

BTW, if you need help with the report .. stats, layout etc.. I can help... this is part of my 9-5 job.

all done.
If I do the survey 7 time does it increase my chances of winning the 100 bucks?

Done

Why no VA-synths as category? These are very common these days, more common then real analog synths.

Succes

I use a Radias, I ticked 'analog' because it seemed to be the closest thing. Now I know the Radias isn't technically analog. But lots of people don't even know the difference between an analog and a VA. and the end result is the same thing - really it should say 'Subtractive Synthesizer'

it produces a sound in an analog way, it just happens to be digital inside. I think people dissing about one or the other is bordering on racism. It shouldn't matter if it is a chip or a bunch of caps and transistors and resistors inside, what matters is how it sounds.

Exactly the point. The sound is what's important. That is why real analog keyboards still command a high resale value. Yes, the historical value of owning a vintage mini moog or prophet 5 also adds to the value, but IMO the main reason why musicians still spend big bucks for these pieces is because they really do sound better then VA. I think they do.

That's not to say that an instrument like the Radias can't run circles around any vintage analog ax out there for programming, recording or just better reliability - so I'm not here to bash the Radias. I'd much rather use a Radias on a live gig over a OB8. At least I know that the Radias will make it though the gig without blowing up!

BTW: Just took the survey. Great idea!

Hey thanks everyone for your replies and all the feedback. Obviously the more people take part, the more representative the results get.
