While I generally try to avoid all-digital dispatches from the 21st century, the OP-1 synthesizer offers an expansive sound shaping experience without one-dimensional presets that can often limit an instrument's potential (envelopes, filters anyone?). When combined with a glorified circuit board called the Oplab the fun really begins as midi information, control voltages and gates can be swapped between various other electronic instruments (in this case my Buchla 200e). That the OP-1 can also function as drum machine, reel to reel tape recorder, mixer, and sampler only makes this instrument more appealing, especially as it so easily interfaces with other trouble makers.
