There are sooooo many options out there and though prices are on the rise for a lot of these instruments, you can still find a deal if you’re patient.
The larger, fully-additive K5r is a humdinger of a synth and I wish I had one. Their K3 is similar to an ESQ-1 (with an additive waveform generator thrown in for good measure), and well worth a look. Kawai’s K4r ROMpler is a good bit of fun, if lacking compared to its keyboard sibling. They’ve gotten a bit pricey lately.ĭon’t overlook the SQR, as mentioned by Also, Yamaha TG-500s make a good sonic resource on the cheap. It takes a bit of tomfoolery to unleash its power, but with a good software editor you can do a lot with one of those. The Ensoniq MR-Rack is a hidden gem - pretty much a cut-down Fizmo residing under that crappy interface. Roland and Ensoniq ROMplers are worth a look and I second recommendation of the JV-2080.
I’ve got one in the closet that only powers up sometimes. Yamaha TX-802 is an FM monster and I wish I still had one of the two I’ve owned. VZ10m is crazy cool, and I’ve not have given mine up if I didn’t know it would wind up in better hands. It is a 1-unit rackmount tone module that has all the raw power and sounds of the famous WavestationEX and A/D synths The SR maintains the same advanced Vector Synthesis. However, if you can find a good editor - or are happy with the gazillion included sounds - it can be had for a good price. The Wavestation SR is a repackaged Wavestation designed to provide you with all the Wavestation sounds you could ever ask for in a more compact and less expensive MIDI Module. A Wavestation SR is a bit more limited in that respect (no audio inputs, and no Waverex) and programming that thing from the panel is akin to self-flagellation. You can add your own waveforms with a Waverex card. Wavestation A/D is a knockout, but you might might need a new display. I have (or have had)and loved many of the machines listed here.
