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:
Any links and comments appreciated
Thanks Your Friendly Neighborhood Strigiforme

People are puzzled why I don't dig the Stones, well, I listened to the Stones, I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and--I Can't Get No Satisfaction!

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 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).

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.
