Members GURREN LAGANN Posted May 8, 2009 Members Share Posted May 8, 2009 I'm looking to get some cheap synth modules or VSTs that would run well on an EEEPC. I wouldn't mind a sound module that does basic flute, piano sounds etc. as well as some ethnic ones. I liked a lot of the sounds off my old Roland U20, but I think I could do a bit better than the sound module version of that. I'd like if I could get something that was maybe smaller than a rack module as I don't intend to use a rack, just plonk it down on a table or the floor. I also really want a decent FM synth module. I'd like to get Sega Megadrive kinda sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meatball Fulton Posted May 8, 2009 Members Share Posted May 8, 2009 For the bread and butter sounds try VI-ONE, $100 at Guitar Center. For FM, try Six or Purple from Odo Synths (donationware). Not sure how heavy the CPU loads are for any of these, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GURREN LAGANN Posted May 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 8, 2009 I have plenty of free vsts/sound fonts on that front, I kind of wanted that stuff in module format., in case I can't bring my laptop along. For FM synths though I could do with some VSTs. I'll check those out. It's not as essential to have that in module format as the MK's digital waveforms can sort of stand in.

Members seamonkey Posted May 8, 2009 Members Share Posted May 8, 2009 no question about it, bang for buck is the Roland JV1010 sound module.Terrific sounds, expandable with expansion cards, one of which is Ethnic.These are out of production but you can get them on ebay for under $200.00USD.They are small, half rack and I believe contain over 1000 presets right out of the box. I loved the piano and strings but they also have orchestral stuff in there as well.Here's one on ebay, this is not my ad but just something for you to see what it's about.Good luck.http://cgi.ebay.com/ROLAND-JV-1010-64-VOICE-SYNTH-MODULE-MINT-JV1010_W0QQitemZ200339980793QQcmdZViewItemQQptZKeyboards_MIDI?hash=item2ea53181f9&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bruto Posted May 8, 2009 Members Share Posted May 8, 2009 Korg TR Rack - the rack version of the Korg Trinity more or less. One of the better all arounders. They usually sell for $200 - $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
