- There's plenty of them around. Roland's JV rack mount series sounds great
- and Yamaha has a small module called the TG300 which has great sounds and
- is probably just what you're looking for.

- Check out a large music instrument store (I'm in NJ, USA and usually drool
- in Sam Ash's electronic keyboard department.) and you'll find midi devices
- that are geared for general use as well as those geared towards specific
- sounds (Hammond organs, or analog synths).

- If you still need some suggestions then e-mail me directly.
