analog modeling synths
make your own sounds! often they will have a bunch of pre-programmed presets you can toy with. you may even be able to save those settings (either to the indstrument, or to your computer through a USB or MIDI interface). usually they have a USB interface these days. feed one of these into a reverb unit and you have some really cool sounds... you will need a keyboard amp, or if you are in your apartment, business speakers or a set of powered monitor speakers.
