1. Clavia Nord Modular

   yes, you said no analog-style, and you mentioned
   Clavia, but I cannot help but mention it, for it
   goes far, far beyond being "analog-style".

   a full blown digital modular, a knob-box, a beat
   box, an effects processor, a synth that does FM,
   additive, physical modeling, VOSIM, many flavors
   of analog emulation...you can¹t do much better
   in terms of return on investment.

2. Dave Smith Instruments Evolver

   a monophonic analog/digital hybrid synth with a
   stereo voice path, a 16 x 4 step sequencer, a
   stereo input and deep, incredible sound. there
   is nothing else quite like it on the market,
   especially when you consider the $475 price point.

I chose those two to list because I own both and
felt I could comment on them based on my experience.
I also chose them because I do see them as very
unique devices, and ones that are generally
affordable to the majority of working musicians.
