Analog doesn't mean you can only play techno with it. You can create beautiful sounds with it and use them as lead sounds. I happen to love and play Dance music from the "80's and 90's.
So true. My classic rock cover band plays mostly 80s covers that heavily use analog synths. My Motif 6 really sucks at those sort of sounds, so the KingKorg would be an invaluable addition for providing analog patches and realtime control for covers we play like The Cars, Blondie, Talking Heads, Till Tuesday etc and the list goes on. The VR-09 also interests me for the same reason as it looks like an nice light weight keyboard to compliment my Motif.
