reaktor hands down. its modular basicly so you can create almost anything your mind dreams up. ive created a few instruments that were strictly utilitarian in nature (a 303 with a step 8 sequencer with controls for every paramater[pan to cutoff to level to wave type] for each step, and a 12 voice sampler with 4 fx banks[ring mod, distortion, filter, stereo tap delay, reverb and EQ] and 3 layers per voice, individual pitch for each layer, asdr envelope for each voice, etc etc)

its really a godsend

I use the Yamaha SYXG50 but I don't think it's what you're looking for. Great possibilites for sound, though, but you need someting to drive it, like XGworks. I can recommend a new book whuch I just bought. "Software Synthesizers" by Jim Aikin of Keyboard mag. Look it up on Amazon. It gives the lowdown on dozens of soft synths and has a CD with demos and acouple of free synths.
