I haven't been making music or keeping up with gear in about 5 years but have been going to moog audio and some of the new stuff is actually really good and comparable to the vintage classics which is crazy.
the new minis are excellent and sound like your average vintage one. i would only take an ra moog one or heavily modified vintage one over these. the keyboard is way better imo and has aftertouch. easily worth the high pricetag and isn't something you will grow out of espec if you are rap/hip hop fan. no sync added tho which is bizarre to me cuz that is the first mod i would do and one of the most common I've seen.
this thing (dave smith Ob-6) is actually fucking amazing and probably the best keyboard i've played out of around 100. it needs a firmware update imo and i have been meaning to write them a lengthy email about some questionable functionality but holy fuck it sounds amazing. totally killed my lust for vintage polysynths except like cs-80, chroma, matrix 12 which are all fairly impractical to own imo.
for the price this thing is great imo and probably the most immediate feeling drummachine i've tried. the snare kinda sucks but other than that i was really impressed with what they've done for the price and Arturia does an excellent job of making sure over critical gearsnobs have a hard time faulting their feature set. Great first drummachine for someone looking to get some hardware or is tired of making beats on computer.
This is made in Toronto and priced under $1000.. pretty esoteric and I probably wouldnt recommend as first synth (it would be fine tho) but I think it's the most interesting and innovative product under $1k usd. The envelopes have these little scales and other uncommon modes and can clock at audiorate.. the filters dont self oscillate unless you feed them back into themselves which i guess is to save music store speakers from idiots or something i dunno.
