Another free but dynamite softsynth:
http://www.u-he.com/TripleCheese/Plus here are 50 free patches for it:
http://www.julianraymusic.com/sounds/cheese.aspJust click on Mouse in Space at the bottom of the page to get the free patches. Unzip them then put them in the u-he folder NOT with the dll; this assumes that you have all of your dlls in one folder.
One quirk is that that synth calls banks presets. So if you want to load another bank of sounds you have to click on presets. That is why it is very important to put all of your sounds/banks in the u-he folder as it doesn’t look in any other folders.
Although this is a 32 bit softsynth it works just fine in my 64 bit Win7 machine. I know it works in Sonar so this should work in any DAW or other program that takes VSTis.
This is one great little freebe IMHO.
