I have a Poly800 that's pretty nice, but it's very plastic sounding.  The great thing about them is they are cheap (usually < $100) and very easily modified.  With then $100 Hawk800 mod, you can take a $200 (total) quasi-analogue kitten and turn it into a synth comparable to a $1000 analogue beast (and then some).

PS: The Poly 800 is analogue, but it's a digitally controlled hybrid.  Strange machine.

as for the mono/poly. Love it . own one myself. :-D it's my flag ship for analog synths.

But i'm talking for buying brand new... hands down.. DSI is the best route.

if you've got the PG-800 programmer you get some pretty wicked hands on control which is nice for prgramming patches

I'm thinking about buying a Tetra as well once I have the money... I think the advantage of it towards the Prohpet 08 is that it's got suboscillators, which fatten the sound up a bit. If you still want to go for the prophet, make sure it's the latest model, the old ones had pretty bad knobs afaik

it's either a prophet 08 or an andromeda a6, i can't chose between the two. i really wish i had the money to get both.


i like the old school sounding, classic tones of the prophet.
the andromeda on the other hand, has very rich textures and can create amazing layered pads and arps.

i'm torn :s
