Oberheim synths were special indeed, very harmonically thick and great for pads/strings.

If you're into retro synths you might also look at those low-cost hardware modules like JP-06, JU-06 and such, modeled recreations of Juno and Jupiter synths. Roland's product line is starting to get a lot more interesting lately.

I used to have a Juno 106 and still miss the sound at times. I think they did a great job of reproducing the analog sound of these boards, I just can't bring myself to get one because of the tiny fiddly looking controls.

I'm also keeping a close eye on their analog / VA hybrid synths, they sound great I just think the product line needs some refinement. Maybe next generation of same will be a keeper.
