my budget is 300 to 500 dollars and I need suggestions on a nice virtual instrument program that does good in quality and pricing.
 
to do that and get really cool samples ya may have to specify a type of sample pack...ie basic orchestral or big band horns classic keyboards etc...

i've recently become a fan of the garritan samples... i copped the new steinway authorized model D piano pack... way cool....
 
You aren't really going to get "the best" in software... (unless you go for the East West software). The SRX expansion boards by Yamaha are arguably the best on the market.

Check out - http://www.rolandus.com/multimedia/flash/srx/srx_demo.html

Get your self a Roland Sound Module for a couple of hundred quid, then for a further £200 (give or take some) you can get an SRX board to fit it.

check out that link I posted above, gives some way cool samples!

Hope that helps :)

ok two things... one dont ya mean srx by roland??? and arguably with/by who???

and two... have you even played a software synth??? cause you seem to be talking out your ass seems to me...

compare the # of samples per key say on a piano patch... encluding velocity and sustain and sustonuto(sp?) there's no way roland can put that all in a budget minded keyboard for every sound they try to give you... consider the processing power of your computer verses the risc chip in a keyboard...(risc= reduced instruction set controller) have you seen any movies lately??? a shit load of soundtracks are recorded useing nuthin but softsynths... think they'ld do that if the results were less than a $1k keyboard???

schools out... dont mean to be too harsh but we all get to have opions granted... but we also have the obligation to be informed...
