Fully loaded Synclavier systems went for upwards of $1,000,000, and were capable of FM/additive synthesis in addition to sampling.

There are other synths that are probably more expensive, but they are so rare that they hardly come up for sale so prices are hard to find. For example, Yamaha GX-1, EMS Synthi 100, and a complete Roland System 700.

Another brilliant video, Dr Mix. You’re the best! Very few are able to match your charisma, enthusiasm, and musicality. 👊🏻

Your channel is my favorite. You exuberant personalty and delivery along with your content is just addictive. You are the best!

Nice video but I would have also expected the Arp 2500 in this ranking.

Let’s hope UVI continues to grow since the Image Line acquisition. Falcon is probably the best software out there.

The “Switched-on Bach” record was a sight to see. My mom had that when I was a kid. I imagine the big reason for high cost is because these synths and their components are becoming more irreplaceable. Plus their innards are so uniquely designed and complex. It would be nice to see a video on the 10 oldest synths. Thanks Claudio.

I was expecting the Fairlight CM1 to at Number 1. I seem to remember it being priced around £19~20,000 back in the early 80s so I cannot imagine what it must be priced at now, assuming there are still some out there. Thanks for another great show. Keep up the good work !

A Series III should set you back no more than £20K these days. I have a maxed out, restored Series III here ready for sale soon at around £16,500. A Series IIx in full working order should cost you no more than £12-£15K. Anything more than that is ridiculous and the seller is clearly trying to milk you. Add a few £K if the machine has famous provenance.

Your enthousiasme is so dope to watch, only reason i watch your videos - great work

I did my electronic apprenticeship restoring most of the analogue synths on here. ...very nice that owners like Dr. Mix keep them alive . I had a DX5, and an EMS vocoder. Though, I would have put the Oberheim Matrix 12 in this list.

Everything here is amazing, thank you Dr mix.

excellent video Claudio. Personally I thought the Yamaha GX-1 was the most expensive, I was surprised to see the CS-80 instead of the great GX-1. Greetings!!

He should change the title of the video. About 3/4 of those synths are far from being the most expensive around. The Colossus just seems to be a clone of the mighty EMS Synthi 100. If the Analogue Solution synth is worth 30,000 Pounds, I wonder how much is the EMS these days... Also, I sold my Roland System-700 full system for 30,000$ more than 10 years ago. How much would it be worth today? And such a synth doesn't even make it to the list... Same for the super hyper extremely rare Yamaha VP-1 or GX-1. Way rarer than a DX1 and therefore far more expensive. And the list can go on...

@@modulartjapan2212 I think we can cut Dr Mix some slack here. These lists are always subjective to an extent. I do take your point, but I don’t think it invalidates the good-natured intent behind this exercise. It’s clear that the good doctor was merely seeking to illustrate the inclusion of the items on the list by finding the most expensive synths _available to buy_ at the moment.

I would consider PS3300 instead of 3200 (one more oscillator). Then Fairlight and Synclavier. I love Elka Synthex and I consider it better than a Prophet or an Oberheim. But Synthex is now very expensive only because there aren't many available.

Surprised the Waldorf Wave isn't on there. I've seen a grand total of two for sale in the last five years. Arguably the Korg PS-3300 and the Yamaha GX-1 should be on the list but they are nigh-unobtanium and make the PS-3200 and CS-80 seem like achievable dreams, LOL.

Oh. Thank you Claudio for this Arturia V collection demo :-) Honestly: NOW {after THIS vid} I can really appreciate the fantastic opportunity to own these wonders - at least in VST format

Thanks Doctor Mix! :)

The Voyetra 8 plugin sounds amazing.

Loved the Peter Sellers impression. Keep up the great work.

Was hoping this was all contemporary synths... but I can't be disappointed to see and hear all of these in rapid succession.

Looking forward to the next series featuring the next 10 expensive synths: Fairlight, ARP 2600, ARP 2500, OBX, Rev 2 Prophet, PPG Wave, Waldorf Wave, System-700, Synclavier, Elka Synthex.

Yay, I enjoy your top 10s, and this is a good choice.

We are not worthy we're not worthy

So back when I was a high school graduate I worked for Moog and built a lot of the modules for the modular systems during their reissue. The amount of work put into those really justifies the price. The whole thing is built by hand. Every resistor and wire is hand soldered. I built a system 55 and that took me a solid week to harness up. It was a challenge but a lot of fun!

Hey Doc. where was the fairlight? That was a great vid as always. Really enjoyed this.

I am happy to own several of your featured since the late 90´s- as VCS3 mk 1, Minimoog signed by Moog etc, sadly not a Memorymoog, I regret having not bought one in that times.

Would love to see a video on super rare and basically priceless synths, like the RSF brand for example.

As Boris Blank once said "There are many Samplers, but nothing compares to the sound of a Fairlight". I think it's very expensive too, and of course the Synclavier. Mike Oldfield owned two Fairlights and Laurie Anderson used the Synclavier.

thank you for the video...

Great video and lots of fun to watch (as are all your videos). Some soft synths are so good these days, that it doesn't seem worth paying a premium for a vintage synth. The UVI examples you played sound amazing. However, there is an intrinsic value for collectors.

HAHAHA, love the reference to The Party, Peter Sellers talking to the parrot: "Birdie num, num" !

I'd love to see a video on the technical complexities of trying to replicate (patent issues aside for the moment) the classic synthesizers. For Instance: did Yamaha have their own sound ICs, giving them a unique sound? Did the CS-80 use very old-school components (resisters, capacitors, etc.) that act differently from modern components? One to talk about would be Deckard's Dream. I wonder how close it comes to the sound of a CS-80. How much extra work did they have to do in order to imitate the way a vintage xyz component would act?

I found a Moog Emerson modular synth that cost 150000$, although it was sold a couple years ago. Another synth that you skimmed over a tad was the arp 2500 with going for 100000$ without taxes.

I´m a lucky owner of an Korg OASYS 88 keys. Also have the Kronos but the OASYS simplifies certain things. My dream one day would be to get my hands on a Fairlight CMI III

One that came to mind when I saw the title was the Knifonium. It used to sell for around $15k, but I imagine the maker has raised the price somewhat since its first release. Its claim to fame is using vacuum tubes rather than capacitors for the circuitry, I guess making it more analogue than anyone else can boast.

Vacuum tubes and capacitors are not substitutes for one another in any analog circuit. A vacuum tube is no more "analog" than a discrete transistor, but superior if you want to heat up a workspace.
