The Mellotron Group

All this talk about the worst made me think of my favorites, these 
are mine:

not in any order:

korg prophesy:  just got one of these and i like it a lot, hard to 
blend it with other sounds but i think its great and only cost £160.00

roland jv1080:  great expansion, sounding a bit old now but i love it

fm8:  don't know if the soft synths count but these are getting 
better and better, i like the korg legacy and b4 too

dx100:  just got rid of a dx7 cos it was too much hassle with nothing 
useable without programing, when i was younger i had more time for 
that and got some cool sounds out of its baby brother

alesis fusion 8hd just bought one, it's a bit tempremental but what a 
package at £600 new, 80gig hard drive, 88key weighted, sampler three 
types of synths, built in 8 track recorder, free sound updates, just 
such a bargin all rounder

sy22, only use it for full strings but they are the best synth 
strings i have heard

non synth favs are of course my novatron and hammond x5 with leslie
