Artirua's been doing this for a few years, including their Brute lineup; the MiniBrute and the MatrixBrute would be the closest comparison. https://www.arturia.com/products
Ever since I got the Minilogue, my MiniBrute has been sitting in a closet. At the same price point you can get a polysynth with all sorts of polyphony modes instead of a monosynth. Kind of a no brainer.
I'm a big fan of Arturia and picked up a Key Lab 49 SE with their Prophet V & Solina plug ins. Truly beautiful synths...but the build quality of their key beds is horrible. I lurk their forums a lot and I feel really lucky I received a reliable unit. It seems like a lot of their customers are less than pleased with their purchase. I'm a happy customer though! Their synths deserve all the praise they receive.
I bought a Minibrute three years ago and it has cured my lust for gear ever since. After seeing the Minilogue however I'd love it if Arturia threw their hat into the analog polyphonic ring.
It sounds so good that you practically have to go out of your way to make it sound bad. It has a much wider array of sound design possibilities than what you see people using it for on youtube - I even made a great sounding woodblock sound on it.
