Native Instruments Kore 2 £349
The original Kore was a good plug-in manager, but with 418 built-in sounds, its successor is a powerful instrument in its own right.

Pros
Six great audio engines. Loads of good sounds. Makes browsing fun.
Cons
Handling of third-party plug-ins isn't perfect. Some sounds are more showy than practical. Doesn't always find what you want.
The bottom line
Still not for everyone, but Kore 2 is a good one-stop solution if you want polished presets and an easy way of tweaking them.
