In 2016, KORG introduced the minilogue polyphonic analogue synthesizer, and it has been a huge hit, followed closely by the cheaper monophonic monologue. (Note: from now on, I’ll be writing Minilogue with a capital M for better readability.) The Minilogue has real analogue oscillators but many other features are controlled digitally.
