actually I love the look of the andy...its great...but with you on the other 2...the ion looks like a cheap plastic box and the fusion looks like an ugly car dashboard. The fusion definetly wins the ugliest synth of the year award.

7. Buchla 200e (yes it's polyphonic)

Only the oscillators are polyphonic. The envelopes, filters and all are not. So all four oscillators are fed into a single VCF/VCA/whatever.

 

This allows you to play chords, but it is not polyphony as you and I know it. (Unless you are old enough to remember the Korg Mono/Poly)

Thanks Niall, I forgot about the CODE. Added to the list.

 

As an aside though, is CODE really different enough from the Omega to be considered seperately? Obviously SE thinks so, but, I think they're stretching it. Am I wrong? (wouldn't be the first time, nor the last). :thu:

 

And the various nigglets aside, I've added the Buchla.

I agree about the Fusion. Definitely an aquired taste. I think they're all done by Axel Hartmann, perhaps best known for the worlds most expensive Pentium 3 based loop player, the Hartmann Neuron. But $5,000 boxes for Prosoniq loop manglers (not that good of a one either) isn't all he designs. He's also designed some recent stuff for Korg, did the Virus for Access I think, some stuff for EMU, and did most (all?) of the Waldorf products, and most recently the Moog Little Phatty.

 

I think the Andromeda layout is very nicely done actually, although I can see why some people would think it ugly next to something like a Jupiter 8, if that was their idea of "beautiful". Antares Kantos is about the ugliest thing I've seen from him www.design-box.de/de/sd_antares-kantos.php
