Hi all,
I'm looking for a good softsynth for Windows. This isn't my main production machine, which is already running XP. I recently upgraded another machine, and am now running XP Pro. I was running 98SE, and was using the Yamaha SYXG50 softsynth for general Windows MIDI playback. I've heard Yamaha has since discontinued this synth, and I doubt my copy, purchased several years ago, would work under XP. What have people been using as a softsynth to just play back MIDI under Windows, E.G. not in Sonar? I know Windows comes with a GS Wavetable synth, but I've never really fallen in love with it. I wish I could keep using SYXG, but if it ain't available, it ain't available. Thanks for any help.
Jayson
