Re: vintage synths with inputs:

Here is a short list of instruments I have had experience with which can 
serve
as processors.

Instrument             Availability              Price range...   Pros/Cons

Roland SH-2          common                  $400               Great 
envelope filter.
Roland SH-1          kinda rare                $400                Great 
env. filter.
Korg MS-10            common                 $400                Nice 
filter. No env. follower.
Kork MS-03            kinda rare               $100                
Pitch-toVoltage control module/works with ms synths.
Korg MS-20            common                 $700                Awesome 
instruments with built-in MS-03 and 2 filters.

synth w/dist./filt (no resonance) and a weird wah effect.

Semi-modular synthesizer, AKS is the briefcase portable
                                                                           
       version.  This can be used as a processor as well
as
                                                                           
       stand-alone system.  i.e: Fripp & Eno's No
Pussyfooting.
SCI Pro-One           common                   $500              Nice

This is by no means a comprehensive list.  I just wanted to get something 
going.
