Braids engines, actually.
To come back to the subject, I believe a few years with an instrument let you discover new ways of producing sounds.
I have recently tried to recreate some S-1 patches on the A4, and I discovered new areas and managed to create some sounds I had been looking for for a long time.
What makes MM special is both the sequencing (thinking of the traversing plocks), the numerous engines and the weird filter resonance and other ways to blow the sounds.
In other sonic territories, I’d say that synths as capable as an old A4 or the little M8 could fit OP’s description. But it’s less the synth than the time spent on using it.
