Classic digital synths that you'd like to see as software
I'm sick of hearing about and talking about analogue emulations. I'd like see some classic digital hardware synths released in software format by the original company (e.g., like Korg did with the Digital Legacy Collection). Topping my list would be:
Yamaha FS1R
Roland D-50
Kawai K5000
These synths were so menu-heavy that I think they'd be far more usable in software format than they are in hardware format. Others?

NI never made a classic digital hardware synth. Please read the OP - I'm not talking about third-party synths that sorta emulate others. I'm talking about, for example, Yamaha releasing a DX-7 soft synth.

Those are anologue, not digital. Again, I'm asking about DIGITAL synths, not the same old boring analogue emulations. Why is this question so difficult for....fuck it, nevermind.

Well I still have an old Roland XP-50 that I would like to sell one day, after I have imported all my old tunes into my DAW. So basically I want an VSTi that can read XP-50 sound banks and songs. Also I have created some pretty aggressive Ultrasonic-type techno leads on the XP-50 that so far I have not been able to create on software instruments.
The Novation Nova/Supernova would be good as a VSTi, but with better quality FX.

The FM8 = the Yamaha DX7
It even reads it's original patches.

For me it's all Roland.
D50
JV1080
JP8080 (a proper one, not the Szabo one although that is tasty)
I would have said the M1 and Wavestation as well, but that's been done already
