The list could be endless but the best thing is to go into a shop like Turnkey and play about for a few hours to see what rocks ya boat. Do you need a keyboard ? or just a module ? For proper analogue sounds in a module it's hard to beat the Studio Electronics ATC-1 but the only problem is that it's a monosynth. The Waldorf range (XT / Q )has a verygritty sound but comes with loads of features so you can get more out of it for your money. Access Virus I would like to get myself, it's packed with features and really well built (not like the Waldorf range). I also have a Korg MS2000R which has some wicked sounds and is very cheap to buy now. Loads of people rave about the Nord Leads but i've always thought they were over priced for a machine that seemed average. Emu range have always sounded too digital and a little cheesy (I only use my Audity2000 now for the drum percussion).

List is endless..........
