Best Synth Tourney!!!
Have YOU ever wanted to find out what Tumblr's favourite synthesizer is?????????? Probably not, but I did!!!!!!
Round 5 will start on the 20th of May. Round 5 polls will be tagged with #round 5.
Please vote for the synths in this tournament based on their aesthetics and design as it's difficult to judge the sound of a synthesizer!
Click here for the tourney directory.
Extra info and tagging system below cut!
That's all, folks!
The synth tourney has officially come to an end... Well done to the winner: Keith Emerson's Monster Moog!
What a stunning creature! Clearly the sexiest synthesiser featured in this tournament as proven by the many compliments it has recieved...
And congratulations to our other finalist (Con Brio ADS 200) and to our semi-finalists (the Minimoog Voyager, and the Moog Modular System 55)!
Congratulations, also, to the losers of this tournament, who never got to see further rounds:
Thank you all so much for your engagement with my first ever tournament! It's been a joy hosting it!!
Love,
Mod Wurli <3
Round 6: (finals!)
Which synth do you like more?
Keith Emerson's Monster Moog
Con Brio ADS 200
Remember, this is based off of LOOKS, not sound or reputation.
Propaganda:
Keith Emerson's Monster Moog: "The first modular synthesizer ever used to tour. Somehow tied for most ridiculous instrument hauled around by ELP's roadies with Carl Palmer's stainless steel drum kit. Keith had Moog himself on hotline to help fix it whenever this horrible, beautiful beast would inevitably fuck up. Apparently some of the components weren't even used and were just there to make it even bigger and stupider looking."

Round 5: (semi-finals)
Which synth do you like more?
Moog Minimoog Voyager
Con Brio ADS 200
Remember, this is based off of LOOKS, not sound or reputation.
Propaganda:
Minimoog Voyager: "A classic analogue synth and the last to be designed by the late Dr Robert Moog. It looks like a classic synth and the controls are clearly labelled and grouped well, following the standard flow left-to right of oscillators, filters and envelopes. The case is black metal in a wooden frame. The Signature Edition had a choice of maple, cherry or walnut finish and any of there looked superb. Even the more standard Performer Edition has a satin-smooth maple frame. Outstanding features of this model are the tiltable panel, ideal for when the instrument is on a stand, and the touch panel, which can modify various control inputs."

Round 3 is over!
My, that went quickly! Round 4 should hopefully start on the 11th of May :-)
Since fewer polls will be posted in the remaining rounds, I was thinking of spreading the polls out so there's one a day instead of two.
How many polls per day?
Keep it the same (two)
Change it (one)
Other...? (explain in replies)

Which synth do you like more?
Sequential Circuits Prophet-10 Rev4
ARP 2600 "Blue Marvin" *
Remember, this is based off of LOOKS, not sound or reputation.
*sometimes incorrectly called the "Blue Meanie"
Propaganda:
Sequential Circuits Prophet-10 Rev4: "This is the last version of the Prophet 10, released in 2020 and my favourite. It has a single 61 note keyboard, compared with the dual keyboards of earlier Prophet 10s, so it is more compact. The styling is pure Prophet, with those wonderful 1980's style pushbuttons with the embedded LEDs. The panel is matt black with a natural wood base frame, and the controls are clearly marked and well-grouped."
