Hello,
I'm looking for a synth with the following features:
- Polyphonic
- Oscillator Sync
- Keyboard Tracking
- Noise Oscillator Waveform Option
- Unison (or some type of chorus)
- Ring Modulation
- USB (preferable, but not necessary)
I've been looking at the Prophet '08, but are there any others that you can think of?
Thanks for the suggestions!

Novation Supernova 2
(rack or keyboard)
Easily one of the few powerhouses in the hardware world, easy to operate, lotsa features, a genuine studio work horse. 24, 36 or 48 voices based on how it's expanded or not. 3 oscilators with saw/block/pulse. FM, self-sync, ring, noise. Vocoder (which also works internally between parts, for say strings vocoding drums), various filters, about 8 effects per part, including reverb, chorus, echo, phaser/flanger, eq etc.

I will have to agree. I got my Supernova 2 Pro X about 1-2 months, and I was blown away. There really isn't anything that this synth cannot do. It is a very easy synth to use. I was quite surprised how well it performed. I defintiely recommend it too.
