Can any of your current synths do anything comparable to what a 30 year old analog modular can do?

That might be true for digital synths....ie a digital poly could theoretically have just as good bass and lead response......
.....but not for analogs its a different story. A true analog poly will not have the same response and perceptual snappyness of a dedicated analog mono. Not even a Prophet 5 (reverred for its snappy envelopes). Dont get me wrong....analog poly's can put out great bass (Michael Jackson 'Thriller' Jupiter 8........Eurythmics 'Sweet Dreams are made of these' Oberheim OBX-a).....but they tend to play a more roundy/bouncy style as opposed to a hard, ballsy smack.

In much the same way the Ti and 909 is for Trance producers etc

You've definitely spent too much time with your Jen 1000. With all due respect....its got to be one of the worst sounding mono's of all time. Ultimately your views on analog mono's is biased if your comparing everything to your jen experience
