I got that 2014! Built like a tank!

and yet i lust after that log

i can get the vst surely however so many days haunting music shops and lusting over it, putting some keyboard mag poster up on my wall…

I eventually got a MS2000, but it wasn’t the same!

This one looks like something you’d see a maintenance man with.

Glad to see some others on here, like the Linstrument, Monomachine plus keyboard, that wooden thing and of course anything Aria.
I used to say the Analog Keys was really ugly.
Now after having one it’s grown on me a bit, but it still has this funky bulky square look to me.

the sp505 actually looks like you would use it to program your sprinkler system.

I’ve always been a fan of the 3000GT Spyder/Decapitator.

TIL there are many, many ugly synths out there.

I never really enjoyed the look of the Typhon.

Something about the text turns me off. Killer sound though.

Ensoniq ASR-X. I have owned it. It is unspeakably ugly. And also unspeakably awesome. It is also very clearly the design inspiration behind the Beat Thang. It’s as if they looked at the ASR-X and then decided that it wasn’t cluttered enough, that the colors weren’t garish enough, and that the graphic design wasn’t terrible enough.

as kids we used to watch a Saturday afternoon cartoon show from East Germany …a family of Barpa( something)… it’s a family of blobs who can transform into anything and anywhere…

Yep, Behringer definitely needs to up their design game.
Makes their gear look even cheaper than the actual price :’)

I’d say it looks good by Dreadbox standards. Which isn’t a high bar.

True. It’s definitely more attractive than many of the others in the thread here. For what thats worth.

It’s a grower, for sure.
