Any good synth plugins that someone can recommend?

[ALProducer]

any good ones....im really into R&B so i'd love to have lots of rhodes and other pads and synths with a really slow feeling to it.......
also i have been looking at the training courses on pro tools to become certified.....are they really worth it???

Moog Modular V 2.0 is great. A little CPU hungry thou.

The easy and cheap solution would be Reason 3.03 with the Electro Mechanichal Refill 2.0 (free), with the Drum Refill added you have a good base that midi-synchs quite well in PTLE. Add a Trilogy bass to that and you can do a lot. That would also being some type of "studio-standard" for ppl doing this kind of music, I beleive...
