depends on what you want to spend. Most good ones have at least 16 to 32 multitimbrailty. These would be like the triton, motiff, iin the high range, and the mo phatts and protues are cheaper(im pretty sure they have 16 parts though, someone correct me if im wrong) You can also go the cheaper route and get a nice rackmount sampler. These almost always have 16 parts, and you arent limited to presets, you can just sample your own sounds or go and buy sample cds so you can have whatever you want. Cheap rack samplers such as an yamaha a5000, akai s3000, s2000, s5000, etc..., or the emu series of the esi 2000 or esi 4000, or emax's. these are all over ebay and go for about $200 to $500, depending on how beefed up it is.

depends on budget, if on low you can get a Roland jv1080 or 2080 for a couple hundred and itt's 16 part, has some good bread n butter sounds bearing in mind it's 10+ yrs old
