You might want to look into a sample playback module. Cheap. Tons of 
sounds. Usually a huge synthesis engine that no one ever uses. Gives 
you a wide set of sounds. A fuzzbox, an echo, and a wah wah will give 
a little analog boost to the sound. Running the box through a tube 
amp will help as well(run the bass through a massive old bass amp 
with 15 inch speakers!). 

I can recommend Vintage Keys. Cool sounds. I also like to use hand 
percussion like rattles and bells, kids's squeak toys, melodicas, 
harmonicas. For analog bass and drums, the Rebirth software rocks. 
Collaborating with other musicians works great too.

I have a Roland JV-1010 that does some of that. But alas, no knobs... I 
also have an Aleisi QS-6 that I use for EP and organ sounds primarily. I 
used to use some of the analogish sounds in there but after I got my AN1x I 
was ashamed to use them :)
I've been doing the MIDI thing for over 16 years...

Can you tell I'm not a big fan of the Emu rompler modules? :)
