With the advent of modern software emulations and MIDI controllers, I'm surprised many of these companies are still in business. There have been so many blind tests where audio experts can't tell the difference between pure analog and pure digital modeling. I know some people like the knobs and buttons as a catalyst for exploration, but anything you might do with an analog synth knob you can ultimately do in a software model. And when good synths cost $3,000 and up, the value just isn't there unless you're just trying to impress people that walk into your studio.
