My Akai AX73 is underrated, even vintagesynth.com says so.
Sadly in this day and age of high-tech hardware, and the mind-boggling number of available software synths (Especially the Emulations), a good majority of the classics are falling into the under-appreciated category. I guess it's up to the "Old-Guard of Analog" to carry the torch for as long as we can.dendanna said:Why do I see the juno106 a few times here, I dont believe that one is underappreciated at all
Those are pretty inexpensive, and the QS6 sounds aren't half bad. I might have to look into one.bgavin said:My vote goes to the Alesis NanoSynth for live performance work. Mine is fully controllable by setting presets on my Hammond XK2.

Mine would be the Roland MKS-7 Super Quartet. Essentially a three part multi-timbral Juno-106 with a 606 Drum Machine integrated. Hostile user interface, but those luscious squishy sounds are all in there!.
Also, the Peavey Spectrum Organ. This ROMpler sounds grrrreat, especially when you defeat the phony Leslie and effects and put it through a real rotating horn. I make sure my snobby musician friends hear it first before showing them what it really is.
