Best tweakable synth

[oscillator]

Hi, i would like to hear from you what is the best synth in terms of tweakability from the SURFACE - with no software at all to sculpt the sound !!! Only synth on the market, no golden dinosaurs.

All genres are welcome, only the happiness in sound design is accepted.
Of course the virus is excluded from that thread.

it's not so old, you can find it on the market... Alesis ION absolutely. you can make weird sounds, anything is remappable anywhere. you can assign every LFO to every other LFO and stuff... something maniacal really. also, I don't think it's so useful besides sound effects.

I can think of several synths that operate completely on the surface, and some that are *mostly* on the surface. First, Moog Voyager or Little Phatty. 100% analog good times. For something a bit more "outer-spacey", look at the Dave Smith offerings, including the MoPho keyboard, or my favorite, the Mono Evolver. About 90% surface control, and a few random menu items that are easy to locate and tweak.

thanks, you can consider also 2 categories: best VA and best analog; also synth out of market, but easy to find used.
