Every freaking time I hear this I am half tempted to rename my Jupiter 8 piggy bank... Elka Synthex Piggy Bank!

[JMPSynth]

Yes you should ! ;) I sold my Jupiter 8 when I got hold of the Synthex. The Jup is a great synth but only had room for one big analogue poly and the Synthex blew the Jup away.

XILS now has a vst/AU of this synth available.

I've heard this mentioned a few times so have just downloaded the demo. Other than for the design of the panel and obvious association in name, it's a very poor VST if designed to emulate a Synthex. Just listen to the JMJ laser harp sound ! It's terrible. It has some nice sounds in there and sure it's probably a decent soft synth (?) but a Synthex it's not and actually a poor attempt at one at first impression.

i have owned the synthex for about 3 weeks now and it has changed my life. Theres some magic in here, something i cant explain. I had to pay a small fortune for it which was a massive risk. Im glad i trusted my heart and took that risk, this synth takes me in and out of this world and to be without it now would be like losing my soul. I will never sell this beautiful machine. If anyone has a chance to get one and cant afford it, sell your car and take to the sky

Now there's a happy owner ! Don't dwell on the cost of it, the value of these is only going one way. Just keep it tip top and enjoy :)

In 1984 I was 10 and got £1 pocket money. My parents needed to win the pools to buy me the synthesizer that made the sounds I wanted! I got a Casio VL1 which put me off. I didn't know about Prophets, Moogs etc, I only found out on YT last year. They were CHEAP when I was skint! Everything I like is £2,000 now. If I could have one, I would pick this or a Prophet 5. Kawai SX240 is much cheaper.

@JMPSynth i agree, i hate it but thats because ive heard both. If i had not heard a synthex i would have been none the wiser.  I own a synthex, would i sell it and buy XILS and a car or similar. No way, i would rather eat beans on toast for an entire year than not have a synthex

@cprostudio I can't, I've got an NHS staff bus pass!

Synthex it's a very nice machine, ( And Neuron a new world....-:) )
