Pic related is an Ionic Performer. It was essentially a repackaging of EMS boards with an integrated keyboard and buttons instead of a pin matrix.

There's really nothing wrong with the entry level Minilogue, Microbrute, etc.

They honestly sound a lot better than some of the weird vintage shit that I've used.

A lot of this stuff you can drool over but it's kind of a let down to actually own it.

Yesterday I was playing around with additive synthesis for the first time on my Kawai K3. Got some pretty interesting sounds out, but it was mostly guesswork. The only annoying thing is I can only store one user created waveform at a time.

I have one of these, #427 IIRC. The Sonica, designed by Frank Eventoff. It's a really simple little synth, in fact it barely qualifies as a true synth, but it does produce a nice square wave, and the internals are made by Sergé.

The neck is set up with touch sensitive pads in a standard do re me format, full or half steps delineated by thicker or thinner lines between each pad. It's got a frequency sweep knob, a half step button, a tone button, and a note bend button.

It's fun to play, but a little limited. Still, it's my most obscure synth instrument.

if you want CR78 sounds, just get CR68 for half the price and sample it
>>
>>74333313
I socketed all of the variables to make it easy to swap different values in/out. Top of the board are the pulse rollz, 2x rows of 3,4,5,6 groupings. cap value effects the speed of a roll group, smaller values fast beats. Was experimenting here with slower beats using all polys, those get pretty big in the 1 to 10uf range. electrolytic are fine too and only practical way to try out 100uf values for super slow beats and mountain subbass response from the filters.
