@JonnSerrie @Alesis Excellent choice. Still reasonably priced (for a vintage analog poly), and one of the few non-Dave Smith big analog polys (8+ voices, 2+ VCOs per voice) around.
The only new non-Dave Smith options are the Korg Prologue and the Moog One ($$$). The DM12 doesn’t count: 1 DCO/voice.

@JonnSerrie @Alesis The Modal 008 and Futuresonus Parva are unobtainium. Behringer promises an OB-Xa and a Poly-600 clone, but nothing except the thin-sounding DM12 is available today. I presently use a Behringer 2600 mono for analog, Roland JD-Xi (same engine as Jupiter 80) w/ reverb for poly.
@JonnSerrie @Alesis “Poly-600”. I meant Prophet 600. @Behringer calls it the “Pro 800”. Since the Prophet 600 has a darker “space music” sound than other Dave Smith synths, Behringer’s clone should be good for making space music.
Not out yet; released delayed by chip shortage. I eagerly await it.

@JonnSerrie @Alesis @Behringer The @Behringer Pro 800 will finally break the $1000 barrier for a big analog poly (8+ voices, 2+ VCOs per voice), just as the B2600 (only ~$650 shipped right now) broke the $1000 barrier for a usable modular analog synth. thomannmusic.com/behringer_2600…
@JonnSerrie @Alesis @Behringer @threadreaderapp unroll That got a bit long-winded (Modular: The Plankton Antz had tuning stability issues, the Mother32 [or Crave] is one-VCO, so you really need two, and the 2600 does a lot more than a Neutron)
