Can anyone Recommend Software

[sil]

Can anyone recommend some good software for a keyboard junkie. Like old synths, wurlys, rhodes, mellotrons....also some good strings and drum sounds> thanks y'all...oh i have an mbox...with the latest le version...on a powerbook g4 100 gig

I take it reason and sampletank isn't enuff? Time to explore the world of softsynth plugin/rewire available out there. You can download a lot and try it out for a few weeks before you buy.

in case you haven't played with reason yet, well, do... It's a techno junky's heaven.

And if am totally misreading your post, and are looking for hardware boxes, I can't help you there.

Reason and some good Refills, samples, etc.

HI,

I´d take a look at Native Intruments XPress bundle
http://www.nativeinstruments.de/inde...sskeyboards_us

and for Mellotron the best thing you can get is this from Gmedia:
http://www.gmediamusic.com/gforce/m-tron/M-Tron.html
Gmedia has also some great vintage synthe emulations.

you can rewire it into PT with the FREE VST shell from here:
http://www.wildfrontear.co.uk/

(READ THE README as it requires the Pluggo Runtime Environment installed, which opens hundreds of pluggos and VST instruments for your world)

you might also take a look at the Korg Legacy Bundle with it´s MS-20 emulation and other
Korg vintage synths included

and as always: NO DEMO NO BUY!

so far,

regs

There's a great little bundle from Ultimate Soundbank called Plugsound FREE, it's rock solid and got sme useable sounds, and it's free. they also do a load of other version which are really cheap and sound great. I'm just about to order Atmosphere too, I already have Stylus RMX and wouldn't live without it now - sell you wife and kids and buy it - you'll never regret it!

If you are willing to move away from software try looking into the Emu Vintage PRO rack unit. They stopped making them, but u can still find them I just got one and the sounds it has Rock not to mention the other cool effects you can do with having it as outboard gear..
