Synth siblings

Just got thinking about the different families of synths that are or have been on the market over the years. I’m thinking ARP Oddy and Axxe, Prophet 5 and Pro One etc. Anyone else got any big sibling/little sibling synths in their collections?

I don’t want to open a can of worms but I guess you could add OT and DT to the list without getting to far form the original idea…

I’ll kick things off with a couple of DSI synths, the PEK and MEK. I don’t have a desktop Evolver but architecturally its close enough to the MEK not to matter.

Anymore for anymore??

AR (MK2) and DT more like.

OT/DT/AR are all cousins or something, in that case. Maybe the MD-UW is their grandpa/ma?

I find that the Analog Four is architechural and soundwise a far distant sibling of Roland SH5, though Elektron already said that its not.

Moog:
Modular ->
Minimoog -> Voyager -> Little Phatty -> Sub Phatty -> Sub 37 -> Subsequent 37

Sidetree:
Modular -> Voyager -> Grandmother -> Matriarch

Buchla + Serge + Moog + Doepfer = Make Noise, Intellijel, mutable instruments, Pittsburgh Modular, Doepfer, Moog, Random Source, Arturia etc PP.

Moog Modular -> YuSynth Modular -> Arturia Minibrute -> Microbrute -> Matrixbrute > Minibrute 2S

Moog + PPG = Waldorf Wave > Microwave, Microwave 2, Pulse > Q, MicroQ > Blofeld
