...what kind of a Roland synth is that?
It looks like it should say SH-3 but it can't be an SH-3.

..I also have a MicroKorg and an MC-303 which is just nasty and digital. The Low-pass filter doesn't even do anything, it just trims the high-end of the samples. Ugh.
Astonishingly, the Yamaha PSR-220 ROMpler that I'm about to sell to a cow-worker sounds better and phatter and more analogue than most of the digital synths I've heard from the early nineties. I'm embarassed to own that instrument.

JV-80 (£40)
JV-1010 (£30)
Yamaha DS-55(!) (swapped it for something - like a biro maybe)
Roland S-220 sampler (ahem, "special" discount at a shop where I worked)
GR-30
Novation X-Station (which I quite like).
I use the 1010 as a zero-overhead composition module before I load up full soft-sampled stuff.

Analogue! I have a Juno-6. I love that little enormous power sapping thing.

I'm building a robot that can make little tunes as it followes a thin sheet of paper with pencil scribbles on it.
I just need to work out how to tune it, at the moment it just beeps at varying pitches.

I'm thinking of replacing mine with a Juno-60 or a Juno-106. I might not even need it any more if I get the Korg MS-2000B I want so much for Xmas.
(Which is never going to happen. I still want / need something Analogue in there somewhere, but the Juno is taking up a lot of space and one of the arpeggiator chips is a bit faulty)

it would probably cost about half what I paid for the machine to get it shipped.
But at least it's 220V...
