To make the synths like BOC, just about any analog keyboard will do, but most
are monophonic, so to do chords you will have to multitrack..
to give the synth the "0ld" sound that BOC has, just add an LFO on the pitch,
slight depth, slight rate, and maybe a little noise, and there you go!
If you have some luck, try to find a Suzuki SX-500 Midi Expander. It has the
most bad ass old school synth sounds... but again hard to find...
Have fun!
