Re: Soft synthes

Hi All,
    When I bought one of those EMU usb audio boxes a few years ago. It came with hundreds of bucks worth of great
software for XP. Including an excellent upgradeable Proteus software synth. I have not used my XP Laptop
on any of this years projects so do not recall the exact details of the software bundle, but I did not upgrade
the software synth yet, because the bundled one worked so well. 
    This year I am using the Emu Audio Interface with my Vista Desktop. I wish the software bundle was not XP only.
On the Vista PC, I am just using whatever software synths come bundled with Cakewalk Sonar, Band In The Box,
and my other Vista software. 
     As PCs have gotten faster, the quality of all the software synths has gotten much better. 
     I have the light versions of most major software synths. They all work very well. I have yet to get into any of
the high end insturment specific ones yet. Guitar only, violin only, piano only. I find the various all
purpose ones like Sample Tank, Roland, Proteus work very well for the kinds of composing and recording I
do. 
     Most software synths have some kind of trail or demo versions you can try and often buying new hardware
because of the way software is bundled is the cheapest way to get a whole bunch of software synths at once. 
Happy Holiday
