Synth Alternative OS

There was a thread on Analog Heaven where someone suggested coming up with a list of alternative synth OS's. These are some of the suggestions and few that I've heard of. I'll update this post as I find more. Is there anything I missed?

Korg Poly-800 - Hawk-800 and AtomaHawk http://patrioticduo.tripod.com/hawk800/index.html
Rhodes Chroma - CC+ http://www.rhodeschroma.com/?id=cpuplus
Roland JX-3P - MIDI upgrade (not currently available) http://organix.inque.org/index.php?page=jx-3p-upgrade
Sequential Circuits Pro-One - Replacement CPU (under development) http://www.musictechnologiesgroup.com/
Yamaha DX7, DX7II - Grey Matter E! (no longer available) http://www.maths.abdn.ac.uk/~bensondj/html/dx7.html

Weezer remix

I made a Weezer remix for a competition they're doing. I went for an ABBA-esque feel. There's some ABBA homages in the synth parts if you listen carefully. I didn't use analog synths (or record any instruments) for this. I did however get to show off my midi keyboard drum skills. Hope you like it.
