ROMplers do usually mean a ROM audio sample based synth, rather than realtime synthesis of algorithms.

By your definition the original 303 therefore had a read-only memory of 2 fixed presets. Saw and square. Was it any less a 'synth'?

A real synthesizer lets you modulate one oscillator with another and so forth.

Of course, but it's not trying to be a Virus/Nord/Waldorf, it's trying to be a 303.

A ribbon-controller or XY-Pad might be nice, too, please! Thanks!
