MATRIXSYNTH: What Synths do We Own?

What Synths do We Own?

Update: People are still submitting their synth lists in the comments, so feel free to join. I added a permanent link to this post in the Poll section on the right of this site.

Dave of umop thought it might be fun to get a list of what synths the readers of Matixsynth represent. We could then see what synths are the most popular as far as ownership. That said, below is the poll. BE SURE TO SEE IF YOUR SYNTH IS LISTED before just adding it. As you know, posts only stay up for two days on the front page, so don't wait too long. If you have too many synths, just enter the top three for now and add more later if you like - this is meant to be fun, not work. I will add a link to the right after two days, but my guess is it will get forgotten, so... again, do it now. :) BTW, this is 100% anonymous so if you are worried about others knowing what you own, don't be. It will just be a list of synths and a count for each - zero mention of who voted for what. Also enter the Manufacture before the model so it will be sorted as such.

Hmm... Well that sucks. The Others are coming in as Other instead of the synth you enter. Hold off for now. I'll see if there is anything I can do.

Update: OK, I don't see an option to show the individual Other options in the actual poll results, but I can see them on my end. I'll update the post later with the results so far, so keep entering them.

Update: The poll was set to block repeat voters which is normal in a standard poll, so you couldn't enter more than one synth. I just updated it to let you enter multiple results.

Update: OK, it looks like this poll is a dud. I just checked the results in the admin interface and it doesn't give you total counts for individual synths. Instead it just gives you the count for Other. I'll put the list of about 100 results so far in the comments. Sorry about this everyone. Someone has offered to write up a poll the way I wanted it (where you get counts for each synth) in the next couple of weeks, so keep tuned. People are also writing their lists in the comments, so feel free to if you want to as well, but that won't give us total counts for each, which was the purpose of this poll. I thought it would be interesting to see the numbers and even rank the most to least owned synths.

  2. Bummer - I didn't realize that all my "Other" synths had to go into the single text field. Here's the rest of what I wanted to add:

    Do softsynths count?

  7. Can't believe there aren't any better poll systems out there already! Some programmer could make a killing; maybe even enough to buy all these synths.

    Of course the only way this poll would really work is if it was more ongoing than just two days, which is a fairly limited cross-section.

    This sort of registry would make a great website all by itself. Synthcollector.com anyone? Collaborative site?

    Actually vintagesynth.com could simply add a functionality where registered forum members can click a button on each synth's individual page, and a line of text could say "47 members & visitors own this synth." Click it to reveal the list of members.

    Two other tables could be Top 100 synths for Popularity, and for Rating.

    The Wavestation EX is destined for Ebay very soon and I am considering throwing the A/D up as well to finance the next box which will either be a Blofeld or a JD-990.
