I'm not going to quote the previous messages in this thread... but since I'm here in this forum, I wanted to put my two cents' worth in on this item. About a book... I can't recommend one highly enough: "The Midi Files," by Rob Young, available from both amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com (or local bookstores). It was a total life-saver for me; my years of computer and music experience failed me when I put them together, until I read this book.
As far as analog synthesizers are concerned, I would encourage you to listen to the Yamaha CS1X and AN1X. They do some really nice fat analog-like sounds, and even the controls are "recognizable" to someone familiar with the old analogs.
