2020 Synth Musicians vs Chad Synthesists

Text on the meme

2020’s synth “musicians” omg four operators and EIGHT whole voices! it even has song mode (after firmware updates). and elektron only wants $800? what a steal! free EG? scene morphing? what's that? chad early 2000’s synthesists 16 voice polyphony, 32 voice rompler, 6 operators, song mode, scene morphing, dx7 patch compatibility, powerful noise generator, 32 algorithms and 17 spectra? pretty limited feature set tbh. i can’t believe yamaha is charging $400

What it means

The meme contrasts modern synth musicians excited about a relatively affordable Elektron Digitone with early-2000s synthesists calmly listing the much more powerful features of an older Yamaha synthesizer. The joke is that older hardware offered dramatically more synthesis capabilities for half the price, mocking modern gear enthusiasts’ exaggerated excitement.
