VST Keyboard effects Question

[TBJ]

I recently got a copy of EZ Drummer. I am loving the hell out of it! I wanted to know if you guys could recommend similar VST software but to emulate orchestra's, pianos, keyboards, harpsichords and stuff like that?

I have Fruity Loops and it has some nice tones but I want something that I can incorporate into Cubase, which is the software I am using for music recording and stuff.

For orchestras you could use Edirol Orchestral, pretty easy to get hold of via torrents.

Another very versatile program you could try is Absynth.

I know that there is another one, I've seen it plastered all over music stores and such and I meant to look into it myself, I think it's by Native Instruments which does programs like Guitar rig, which are specifically for Cubase. I'll post here again once I've found it.

There is the Symphonic gold/silver/platinum (I forget) by East West I think but it's harder to get hold of and more expensive if you buy it.

Yeah native instruments is good. Zero G Nostalgia. Reaktor is prob the best out of them all. Absynth is a good bet or just using Kontakt. I have an orch pack in kontakt files...

Most Native Instruments stuff is very nice, pretty easy to use as well. GigaStudio is also a great program for orchestra stuff. If you want a really nice set up get Symphonic Orchestra Gold (you need to get the different orchestra sections seperately, but gold version includes more than enough samples to make epic shit.)

I prefer using Native Instruments stuff (Reaktor, Absynth and their synth emulators) more for gothic or techno-ish style music, and Gigastudio, symphonic orchestra for classical compositions.

The songs on this site were written using Symphonic Orchestra if you want an idea of the quality
