Audiothingies MicroMonsta 2 is bi-timbral.
Quick note on the current Akai MPC models. They are multi timbral, but there is a pretty gnarly bug with them that means they cannot handle multi channel midi input correctly. Received Note Off messages are applied to every MIDI channel, and not just the channel they are received on. It's super annoying!
