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

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

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 http://www.hammersound.net/ - 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 - http://bigtick.pastnotecut.org/index.php

whoops, I meant "B4", not "B3". Pretty close, but I don't want to mislead anyone.

Is there a cavernous difference between the two ?

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.

Reason is good but not for VST.
