Other Virtual Instruments

[OutbackStudios]

I've been messing around with the DB-33 and I've had great results! Sounds better than any sound on any of my real keyboards! I've messed with the Grand Piano a bit still working on making it sound more real (I'm using the midi scroll). Are there any virtual instruments for a Rhodes keyboard or some horns that are as good as quality as the DB-33? Some horns would be a great add on! As would some Rhodes!

Xpand2?

Does Expand!2 have real sounding horns or just "synthy" sounding stuff?

Best to listen to what's there and decide for yourself One man's "real enough" is another man's "perfect", or another man's "not good enough". It also depends on such things as; how loud they sit in the mix, and how skilled you(the programmer/arranger) are at making midi mimic the nuances of real players. I really dig NI's Session Horns, but its not a cheap option(and as good as it really is, and as good my midi guy is, a real horn section is still miles ahead)

Yep, session horns is pretty good- I have the $150 version and it's really nice

There's is plenty of demos on YouTube, it'll help you decide.
