I think you're refering to a keytar, they are just midi controllers and do not make a sound, you have to hook them up via midi to control another synth keyboard or rack...you could go to www.rolandus.com and go to

check out the roland AX7 as I think its the only brand new one you can get at present or you can look at ebay and pickup a keytar made by Lync, Yamaha KX5 or KX1, Casio AZ1, Korg RK100. I think there are a few threads from the past here which relates to keytar controllers.

or for the adventurous you could check this out...
