Reason is good but not for VST.

Knowledge is not wisdom
Wisdom is not truth
Truth is not beauty
Beauty is not love
Love is not music
Music is the best...

Reason is pretty darn good.

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

a vast and immeasurable difference...as wide as the ocean...naw, just didn't want to give the guy trouble if he went looking for a "Native Instruments B3". I'd hate to be called a wild goose chase instigator.

Is there a cavernous difference between the two ?

for Hammond, I stopped looking when I got Native Instruments' B3. It's a little bit of a CPU hog, but it sounds incredible.

The best piano I've ever heard was Gigasampler's Gigapiano. But I didn't buy it...too expensive. I use a couple of soundfonts instead (if you're interested, I get a lot of use out of one called "pianissimum" that I got from the Hammersound site).

The Arturia Mini-moog plug-in rules. Almost indistinguishable from a real thing, except that it's multitimbral and polyphonic and stays in tune and doesn't cost more than my last car.

for Clavinets, I like the Big Tick Ticky Clav (the same developers also do a good electric piano VST and a killer String Synth called the Cheez Machine). Link: http://bigtick.pastnotecut.org/index.php

A nice easy to use one is Fruity Loops. I've using that for a while now and it has some decent sounds.

This Owl needs your sage wisdom.

IN my quest to put together a PC recording setup, I'm planning on some virtual instruments. I've got G-Force's M-Tron Mellotron plug-in on order already and awaiting its arrival.

Now, I'm looking for your recommendations for these types of VST instruments:

Piano

Electric Pianos (Rhodes, Wurly, Pianet)

Mini-Moogs

Hammond Organs

Looking for comments and recommendations for:

  • Commercially available packages
  • Downloadable plug-ins, free, shareware or otherwise

Any links and comments appreciated

 

Thanks

Your Friendly Neighborhood Strigiforme
