Oct 21, 2009 - You are obviously forgetting their fantastic line up of analogue synths especially the Juno and Jupiter series. I just wish they'd go back to their analogue golden era ways. Less plastic, more Bass!! :)

subby33 Says:

Nov 18, 2009 - Around 2000 dollars. There's really no need for one though anymore. Unless you are REALLY uptight about wanting analogue only sounds. However the 808 and 909 have been emulated very well (and even better IMO) by companies, and most songs now-adays rely on samples that are compressed and processed to make the originals sound even more present. But if you're a purist then go for it.

Nov 21, 2009 - never seen one for under 1k

retrosound72 Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - check the Acidlab Miami or MFB 522 for very nice analog sound, but the 808 is the best
