imo if you're gonna do analogue do a proper job of it. i'm sure someone could make good sounds on one of these but if you're spending money on outboard a good user interface and good compatbility with other machines goes a long way.
imo this is tomorrows junk. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylophone

Details today....
Analog Synth + Analog Rhythm + Step Sequencer = Analog Electribe
The monotribe Analog Ribbon Station – bringing responsive realtime control to analog groove-making.
Monotribe highlights:
The powerful sound of true analog synthesis
3-part analog drums, using discrete analog circuitry
Popular Electribe-style sequencing.
Active Step and Flux features for realtime dynamic loop manipulation
Advanced multi-function ribbon keyboard; Chromatic, Continuous, & Wide modes
Auto-tuning provides stable pitch for accurate chromatic playability
Selectable oscillator waveform, noise generator, and versatile LFO
Uses the same VCF (filter) circuit as the classic MS-10/MS-20
Sync In & Out jacks allows synchronized integration with multiple units
Battery operation, built-in speaker and compact size deliver on-the-go groove-making
In a world seemingly ruled by digital, Korg created an analog sensation with the palm-sized monotron Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer. Korg has once again raised the analog banner with the amazing monotribe Analog Ribbon Station; a new form of synthesizer that packs an amazing array of features and technology into its compact body. Korg’s monotribe shares the monotron’s analog DNA, yet quickly delves deeper into the rich, organic, and often chaotic world of analog synthesis. In addition to analog synthesis, monotribe brings together intuitive ease of use and a three-part discrete analog rhythm section, plus the proven appeal of Electribe-style sequencing. Complete with a built-in speaker and battery power, monotribe is self-contained and highly portable.

The MS20 filter sounds like it might be nice, shame its only capable of 12 dB/Oct slope.
