I rather like the look of the Karma. That burgundy is a bit odd, but then, I don't buy instruments for the color coordination.

 

I still think the ugliest synth from modern times (mature midi) has to be the Roland JD-800. I love the control panel, and the sound can be amazing and impossible to duplicate, and looking at it from the keyboard position can be inspiring. However, move away from the beast, and it turns into some monstrosity right out of a 1950s era spaceship control panel, with wobbly sections that don't match properly. What were they thinking?? Post modern art perhaps??

This keyboard solo has obviously been tampered with!

Does anyone know when the impOscar is going to be released? I can't wait!!!

"For instance" is not proof.

You know the EMU sampler with the blue case and the big bulging disk drive. They were ugly but I sure wanted one back in the day. I was really pissed that Ferris Bueller had one and I didn't http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif

the EII wasn't bad looking, but the first emulator was ugly.

Joe Pine (60's talk show host who sported a wooden leg) to Frank Zappa -- "So, with your long hair, I guess that makes you a woman." Frank Zappa's response -- "So, with your wooden leg, I guess that makes you a table."
