Okay, we have discussed the most beautiful synths, but what about the ugly ones? The point of limiting it to synths you currently have is to prevent shitting on what other people like and encourage shitting on what you like despite the looks.
I have a suspicion the design has a big influence on whether I’ll buy a synth because I don’t have any truly ugly synths. The worst one I own is the BS2, its design is okay, it’s just that all the other synths I have (even the ES-1 mk2) look better:
Judging by modern Novation stuff like the current Launchpad generation and the Circuit Tracks/Rhythm, they have finally hired much better designers. But again, I can’t call the BS2 ugly either.
Please send your ugly ducklings that become beautiful swans once you start playing.
