ehm, ofcourse there are the synthesizers, which are sort of keyboards, but u can make ur own sounds with them.
and then there are the so called software-synthesizers, which are simple said, software versions of hardware synthesizers
nowadays, the software synthesizers are allmost capable of doin the same things as hardware synthesizers.. so its a choice u got 2 make

I work with Reason 2, and sometimes it's totally amazing what sounds the MALSTROM GRAINTABLE SYNTHESIZER can produce. And then if you add fx the real way, with SEND FX, you can make real professional sounding sounds. SO MANY TWEAKS on the MALSTROM, i just freakin'love it........ Thing is Reason2 is expensive, but there are so many VSTI plugins, that can create quality sounds..:

-Dreamstation
-FM7
-Pro52
- The Buzz machines

I'd say you'll just have to try some of these plugins or programs, but i stick with REASON2 and the MALSTROM

There are some excellent Buzz machines out there. Check out http://www.buzzmachines.com

You can use them with Buzz itself, and I believe with other programs as well.

Problem is, for synths (software or hardware) you are going to have to spend a lot of time messing with them before you can sit down in front of one and determine how nice a sound it can have.

Thanks for the help guys..

Also.. i know the limitations to my synth. While I can make phat sounds I dont want to be limited to just that.

Where can I get some of these Vsti programs? are they freeware or Rapeware?

Buzz is free, and so are any of the machines written for Buzz.

Fruity Loops and Reason are not, though they will probably be more user friendly.

Cubase and Logic will be even more expensive, though they are generally perceived to be better programs. This is not to say FL, Reason, or Buzz can't be used to produce excellent tracks, though.

Also, try searching for "free vst" here in the forums. Just recently there were a few threads about these.

You can probably just get Buzz and fool around. It comes with some really, really good machines. I don't know how much experience you have with synths or other aspects of production, but messing around with Buzz has helped me quite a lot.

I wonder what Keyboard / Synth you have...I got an old Yamaha QS300 Workstation and I recorded some sounds, changed them in Reason and got some really cool leads ( ferry style )...

wich Trinity?
1.Trinity Plus
2.Trinity Pro
3.Trinity Pro DRS
4.Trinity Pro X
5.Trinity V3
6.Trinity V3/PBS/HDR

anyways doesn't really matter you can get wicked sounds out of the trinity.. keep tweeking add effects experiment with it

I like pro-52 because its fairly simple and u can get a lot of sounds out of it...Vaz is another one I thinkit really good but I think this one has more flexablity, but its more complicated...check out http://www.kvr-vst.com/index.php for vsti's....
