Softube Model 80€159
The Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 was the first ever polysynth (kind of), so forgive us for including two emulations. Each has its own plusses, but Softube’s perhaps sticks to the original – and its limitations – the most. The UI looks so real that you can almost smell the wood varnish, and the presets are so authentic that you can almost hear the deep vibration that wood made when a note was played.
Cherry Audio GX-80$59
It might well take elements from the Yamaha GX-1, but, really, GX-80 is all about the behemoth of a polysynth (both in price and size), often topping synth fans ‘best ofs’, the CS-80.
