You'd have to include various Roland MKS-series rack synths, like the MKS30, -70, and -80, plus maybe Crumar Bits and Cheetah MS6s. Then there'd be aВ few oddities, like rare analogue KawaisВ and aВ Crumar Spirit. You'd have to have something from Oberheim's heyday in there too, like an OB8, and maybe aВ Memorymoog to represent the work of Dr Robert's pioneering company. And Rolands, of course there'd probably be several A-frame stands sagging under the weight of Jupiter 8s and 6s, and JXs of all descriptions. What would you find there? Undoubtedly plenty of Sequential gear aВ Prophet 5, say aВ couple of Prophet 10s, aВ Prophet 600 and aВ Prophet T8. So, imagine now that you're standing in the midst of just such aВ carefully assembled collection of analogue classics.

As your understanding of synths grows, so too can your collection. I mentioned at the end of the last PartВ of this series ( SOS November 1999) that people often start collecting synths when they begin to appreciate that some are better suited to certain tasks than others. Gordon Reid reveals some of the limitations of the 'classic' ADSR envelope with reference to aВ practical synthesis example, and explains some of the different types of envelopes found on 'classic' analogue synths, from AR envelopes right up to highly flexible digitally controlled EGs.
