Teenage Engineering OP-1, a music synthesizer. Really well built, buttons and knobs feel fantastic, and the display is super fun. The OP-1 in action: [VIDEO]
Sounds like you need to get a modular synthesizer :) [LINK] Or, as an intermediary step, like another commenter suggested, an OP1: [VIDEO] llllllll is a fantastic community of people building/playing with new & experimental musical instruments: [LINK]
Seems like you really know your house. Not sure if you're musically inclined but if so the OP-1 is a great tool[1][2]. If you ever make it to nyc hit me up, I know James well and I'm sure he'd enjoy your thoughts around E2-E4. [1] [LINK] [2] [VIDEO]
