Wow-you mention Dick Hyman!- as far as standards go, I think 'Moongas' was 
his best album, and not a synthesiser in sight.

But I would also recommend listening to Tomita, like Carlos he was a master 
at synthesiser programming- especially on his earlier lp's.- the later ones 
are just a bit too prog rock for my tastes.

Another person, although much harder to find was Asmus Tietchens- especially 
his ballet music- similar to The Residents and early Aphex Twin. I don't know 
what synth he used, but he created incredible acoustic like textures with it- 
in fact, very similar in sound to the AN1x. (maybe it was a CS80?)
