Glancing back at the thread "what would you like to see next?" from several years back
The Ensoniq SQ-80, a development of the esq-1 was a top-of-the-line hybrid digital-analog synthesizer of the late 1980''s early '90's with an 8/4 voice archetecture featuring both split and layer. New it sold for $2200 USD
The recongizied publication on it was Transonic Hacker

The recogbized expert is Rainer Buchty, who, among other things, found a fourth audio oscillator and hidden waveforms

It would be interesting if Arturian arranged things so that you could add samples to the wavetable. You know how they like to put little goodies in their synths, like a fully polyphonic envelope in the Solinav and making the Mini V polyphonic or the Vox Connie a string machine and a waveform generator in the Farfisa Compact Deluxe
I think Mr. Buchty would not mind hearing from Arturia
A homegrown sfz and sf2 player on the order of the old, no longer available Cakewalk sfz+ Professional that retailed for $60.00USD

ORGANS The Yamana 45D, the flagship Yamaha Combo organ or the Elka Panther 300/Duo Deluxe Either of these was a real beast. There is also the early Farfisa Professionals
Upgrade the Farfisa Compact Deluxe to the Compact Duo. for the bottom KB, I'd recommend a 16' coupler as its voicing, Dolce 8' principal 8' and ottava (principl) 4', was a bit weak
One of the following; The Crumar Orchestrator aka Multiman or the Sequential Circuits Prelude
The Casio CZ-101/1000. The CZ-101 was the first Phase Distortion synthesizer and the CZ-1000 was it's full-size implementation. These were Casio's entry into the respectable synthesizer ranks

A companion to the B-3, FROM THE SAME TIME PERIOD, would be one of the major Lowrey organs, either the Lincolnwood 25 or a full "horseshoe" Theatre organs. Lowrey was used in studio by the Beatles and was the original instrument on which was played 96 TEARS

That thread is still active. https://forum.arturia.com/index.php?topic=343.msg139550#new
I suggest you use it for your wishes.

I owned both the CZ101 and the CZ1000 at the same time, the 101 blew the 1000 away in terms of sound quality. The 1000 sounded much more 'Casio' if you know what I mean.
My pick would be to add the Octave Plateau Voyetra 8 to the line up of Poly Synths. That thing sounds the business.

All nice synths, loved the SQ80, although the filters were not as warm as the filters from Roland. Casio synths were also very versatile.
But what about a Roland D-50? JD-800?
Or Yamaha DX-1? Alesis Andromeda? PPG Systems? Oberheim OB-8/OB-X?
-
It would be good to have an oscilloscope plug-in.
-
I would like to suggest/consider also the followings:
- Rhodes Chroma
- Waldorf WAVE
- Korg Trident
- ARP Quadra
- Alesis Andromeda
- Nord Modular
- Elka Synthex
- Kurzweil K2000 family (including VAST synthesis)
....
-
Mine is in the same vein as stefano's.
- ARP/Rhodes Chroma - you can practically make one in the Origin
- Moog Memorymoog
- Octave/Plateau Voyetra
- DK Synergy II
- KORG Trident
- KORG PS-3300
- Alesis Andromeda - hells yeah!
- Doepfer modular
Hardware: Origin II, with a polypressure keybed to make the other synthmakers wince.
And PolyBrute, polyphonic MatrixBrute.
-
I would like to see an emulation of:
The Memorymoog. It's DIFFERENT than a polyphonic minimoog.
The Mellotron.
The RMI Electrapiano.
The Fairlight CMI.
The PPG Wave.
The ARP Pro-soloist.
That's enough for one day!
