I use the AN1x for rock, and it has all of the above and more.  I don't really do prog-rock any more, but I do use a lot of sounds that are reminiscent of Emerson, Moraz, Wakeman, and others.  It does good Moog and Oberheim imitations, while adding flexibility that even a Moog Modular never had.  It's a little more edgy than a real analog, but I tame that with a tube preamp.
