Favorite Multitimbral Rack Synth?

[Tony Scharf]

There seems to be a sort of renaissance happening with some of the old S+S rack synths.  Because almost everything has gone mono-timbral with low polyphony at the same time ‘dawless’ jams have become popular, these old boxes are finding new life.  The orbits have a reputation that keeps their prices afloat.

I had a TR Rack.  I’d advise against it, since it had issues in it’s OS that never got addressed (saving/loading of samples…though maybe you don’t care).

The Korg Triton Rack was on my list of considerations as well as the Emu Orbit 3 but the Orbits fetch pretty solid money still.

Depends on what you’re looking for, sound wise.  I love my Kronos, but definitely no rack available.  Roland had the Integra out there, but I’ve never tried it.

I’d go with something like a second hand Yamaha motif rack or scrounge up a Roland Fantom XR.  They work well enough, and are dirt cheep these days.

I just got a NDLR and while I have a mountain of synths, most are vintage analog and none of the others have particularly impressive multitimbral capabilities. The NDLR combined with Midihub really makes me want to layer and stack rotating voices. What is everyone's favorite multi beasts?
It really should be a rack but I could be convinced for a board if there is a particularly killer one.
