What are the other synths? The gray makes me think Emulator.

Also, so many floppy drives!

Top is definitely his EMAX, next Mirage, next ESQ-1. The bottom, I would almost say a Moog Source, but it has too many keys.

Neither the bottom or top synth are an SQ80. The SQ80 is identical in shape to the ESQ-1. The one on his right on top of the road case looks like Poly61 to me.

Good question - only thing I can see for sure is the ESQ-1, others I'm assuming are a Mirage and maybe an SQ-80 - the grey synth is maybe a roland? NO clue. Have to imagine they had each one for a purpose. Kustom head tucked underneath I think

Looks like another Mirage on the bottom.And why not? Bob Yannes is the man.

How about from sawtooth to sharktooth? Or is this something that would have to be done with a digital wavetable?I envision a gradual change of the cutoff angle (or the slope of the rise, in the second example). Not a stepped cycling between two or three wave shapes.The Prophet-6 does this - oscillator waveform is continuously variable and is a modulation destination.

This is probably a dumb question, but are there any current production synths that are in the ballpark of the old Korg Mono/Poly? I've been jonesing for one for forever but most of the ones on Reverb are in Japan.
