I guess you wanted to point out that you will use a simulation of an analog synth ;). There are some virtual Linux synth that fit to my needs :), while I prefer to use MIDI to use real analog synth ;). Calf Monosynth, Phasex and last but not least Yoshimi (not really an anlog synth emulation ;) are some of the good once. Regarding to sound samplers that are able to play good, free available sounds we are screwed. Oops, I nearly forgot that some man really tries to emulate analog chips, http://bristol.sourceforge.net/ , I prefer my MIDI interface to use real synth, but it's worth to test his emulations, if you aren't addicted (as I'm) to CEM/Curtis microchips or the original C64 SID.
