Very nice ones:
http://www.arturia.com/
http://www.wayoutware.com/ (this one is awesome!))
http://www.nativeinstruments.de/
http://www.clavia.com

but seriously, i love my patch cables and knobs. my mouse just doesn't
make that satisfying "thunk" when I try and cram the USB plug into a
jack. i can't even remember why I chose MOTM over doepfer so long ago.
I've met both Paul & Dieter, and they're both very nice guys. I think it
was the quality of the demo sounds on Pauls page, the knob-to-knob
spacing, and Paul's cunning collection of carefully crafted circuits. It
sure as hell wasn't the price.
