The pk-6 family was their last keyboard synth, and it was phased out
between 2005 and 2006 timeframe. They were bought out by Creative
technologies, and now make just software and stuff. I've always liked
them because they are/were one of the few synth makers (along with
ensoniq and yamaha) who bothered to make their synths fully tunable,
so you can experiment with temperaments other than the 12-tone equal.

Thanks everyone for the replies so far. They are very interesting and
useful, and I really appreciate it.
