maybe, but they are analog, with real knobs and sliders, are great fun and sound nice

I don't know how you can call these 'nice'! Laughing

The CS-01 (although I've always wanted one- because it's cute, and battery powered), actually sounds more like a casiotone with a filter shoved on the end. As for the BC-16, there's one on eBay right now for $$$! Knobs maybe. Versatility? Nope. Laughing

well, as may be, I have both and like them lots, but I also like my casio pt-82 through a monotron Laughing

There are some really fantastic sounding apps on the iPhone/iPad. The latest one (although not really my cup of tea) is the Mark Jenkins endorsed Horizon polysynth which came out today. It costs $4.99!

and I have an ipod and various apps and it's nice too

I only mentioned them because the original poster asked for analog, knobby alternatives, he never mentioned a particular budget
