Have you tried Bristol?  It's got some really nice sounds, but just as
with a HW analog synth, you need to set up your sounds yourself.  You
are presented with a graphic of the actual synth model you pick, and you
twist knobs from there.  I use the Prophet 5, ARP 2600, and Hammond B3
instruments in it a lot.
