There's no shortage of softsynth options out there. If you found a VST you like and if it's useful, stick with it. Nowadays I would use something different. But, again, it was the kind of music I was playing then and my overall setup. My beloved Yamaha DB50XG was incredibly simple and I found the sounds rather useful. Back when I was testing Triple Play ahead of its launch, the software I was sent as a candidate for the bundle was the good old Luxonix Purity, which was incredibly simple, super super super midiguitar friendly, and was quite good for such a simple software coming from a very small company. I actually like both SampleTank and Synthmaster, but as points out, they are very different engines. For an overall library and tweakability, Ominisphere is hard to beat. If one likes the good FM synthesis design, Arturia's emulation of the Synclavier is really good. If you want a powerful sampler, Kontakt and EXS24 (from Logic) are excellent options - in fact I use Kontakt5 with Evenharmonics' Gtak5 and it's as good as it gets for a midi-guitar + sampler combo. For instance, if you like to design analog sounds, than you're probably looking into something like Massive from NI. Aside from some technical aspects and how well it performs with Midi guitar, I can't really tell you A is better than B. Ultimately, it all depends on what you want to play with it. That being said, my personal take is that each synth - hardware or VST - will have different capabilities, sounds, effects, and purposes. This is a great demo - sounds and no talking. QuoteI just bought the Korg Triton VST (AU) based on this video.
