Free music software for download (Mac OS + Windows)

Not sure whether to put this in software section or keyboard section since the two are so closely related nowadays..

Came across this while surfing around on the Behringer website. I saw that their new UMX61 controller comes with 50 virtual instruments, including these in the "download area":

audio editing, VST hosts, various instruments - drums, organs, pianos-, samplers, synths + VA synths.

I found one to be particularly interesting: http://www.yohng.com/
George Yohng is one of the developers working on the Vienna Symphonic Library, and he has branched out to do his own independent work, including software for Linux/UNIX. Not everything on his website is free though. I found his piano and rhodes VSTi to be quite interesting.

hey guys,

just to add to the thread, do check out http://www.ixi-software.net. They are actually experimenting sound using abstract screen interface. Pretty cool programmes they have there like Lauki. And the best thing is, it's all free for download.

P/S: If it matters, it's one of the programmes George Chua recommended when i was having a workshop with him.

Musically,
Jon
