PEK does a fine job.. I do use some out board items on it ...
example of it in use, see my myspace page, look for Dark ...
I am looking at the prophet 08 right now to add as well ...
that is 8 voices analog ..
for an use, I have the an200 .. which you can hear on the other tracks
or the CD ... ;-)

Thanks Wayne !
another thing about "vintage sounding": what we can mostly hear now of
these famed ancestors are.... records, with the technical limits of
yesterdays recorders and effects. You can find somewhere an old tape
echo, a spring or plate reverb, an analog chorus or any old thing like
that? Borrow it and try it with your modern V.A. synth.... I bet you'll
get very close to the "analog nirvana" of your dreams ;-) For the
sequencer the "must" is a step sequencer as in the AN1x or a standalone
device like the Doepfer MAQ : the very "robotic" and basic playback is
more "authentic" than any computer software !! Tube amps and preamps
could be useful to give the final touch to your quest...
In other words : cut off drastically the bandwith , add a little noise
and some ripples to the "Hi Fi - extra flat" response curve of your
amp.... The frequency response of a real spring reverb, for example,
does not exceed a few kHz (not tenths !), is all you want except linear,
at high level the springs add their own noise to the input signal ....
Cheers!
J.F.
