my dream synth would have two, maybe three oscillators, with a filter, a couple of envelopes, maybe an lfo

surely something like that exists

@sean_ae EMS VCS3 is just one envelope short of those requirements.
not a gear-head myself - strictly in-the-box, but if I had money to burn I'd love one of those in the wooden case
@GuyBirkin that erica one looks fun, doesn't sound very EMS but i like the patch storage
