The Prophet 5 has got a tune button, a Juno-106, JX3-P, Siel,

even many Moogs provide a stable tuning. I always claim that there
seldom is the need to "program" modern granular synths in a
complicated way, many of those allegedly new sounds already could be
archived using e.g. an Oberheim SEM or even emulations of this and
similar synth.
Hey-- Mozart is the sound of the past! The piano

Long live the past!
Totally agree!
But this is about nostalgia, advances in technology and how far we've
come. Don't be Amish about your synthesizer.
Moog (and other classics) sound great, sure, but they're rather limited
sound wise, hard to keep in tune, and expensive to repair. The new
stuff can sound pretty much exactly the same + 1.000 different ways.
It's cheaper (because of more efficient manufacturing) and stays in
tune.
