Is there a synth which Jean Michel should have used in your opinion? One that you use very much and that you use intuively to express your musical abilities but which great possibilities have remained unrecognized in your opinion?

I mean, i don´t use this Synth: Chroma Polaris. Not -that- sound, but it produces a very independent sound. Nowadays unfortunaly very expensive and rare.

From the Synths which -i- use: None of them (if there´s anyone which he didn´t already used). I don´t have much "knob-Synths" and if less knobs are present, it makes less fun to work with them (creatively).

Why not a totally new one that is never seen before and has got all new types of sounds?

Love Leelene

I really wish he'd kept the DX-7...

Roland D50

JMJ is said to hate that synth.

@Finaero: he did use that quite frequently on a certain album...

I had one and hated it too.

I wish he kept the Arp2600 and the VCS3.

And yes, ALL of the DX series are a pig to program, but surprisingly, you can get some VERY fat sounds out of them.

I don't think he sold them, but one can never be sure on that. I don't hope he sold all his analog instruments, that would be a shame.
I think he just skipped the old analog instruments for the concerts.

Yeah, but I somehow interpret that question like, what synth he used to use but doesn't anymore

Same here
But I don't think he sold his Eminent, VCS3, Synthi, and Farfisa, after all, it was his first synths !!!
But I think he sold many synths he had, maybe the firsts he used like the SH101, D50, Raven, JP8000 (bouhouhouhou), and other synths he didn't use a lot
But I don't think he sold his Talking Pedal ans his Moog

Don't worry Nico, I saw the JP8000 from the Monaco concert some backstage photos
