hi i have a line 6 kb37 midi controller plus recording interface...i need programs like poizone.....and fm8 are thr any free softwares similar to this???
There are many different types of VSTis. What type of sound are you looking for? You mentioned two - Poizone is a subtractive synth while FM8 uses FM synthesis. Arturia has lots of analog synths - Analog Factory being one of the more popular buys as it encompasses a little of everything from Modular Moog, Minimoog, Jupiter etc. Others like the upcoming Omnisphere from Spectrasonics mixes different synthesis.
Oh, forgot you want standalone. Some of the ones I mentioned are standalones while others are plugins.
By the way, Emu, in anticipation of their new X3 sampler, is now giving out the free Proteus Vx as a download. It works as a VSTi and standalone. Just need to subscribe to their newsletter. http://www.emu.com/promo/proteusvx/welcome.asp
