Computer Synthesizer/Keyboard?
Does anyone know where I can download a free keyboard and/or synthesizer program for my computer, with multiple instruments programmed into it.
I'm after a realistic sound: I want the trumpet to sound like a trumpet, the drums to sound like drums, etc. I also need to play the notes through a standard computer keyboard, not an attachable musical keyboard.
The more instruments, the merrier. Possibly even a program that can have more instruments added into it in the form of patches or addons from the download site as they become available. It's a lot to ask of a free program, but more advanced stuff has been done for free.
Thank you for time and patience, and good luck!
Good point. I use integrated audio, but it sound excellent and even has surround sound capability.
However, the question is where can I find a keyboard program in the first place. I'm just confused as to whether or not a sythesizer is the same thing as a keyboard.
I always thought that synthesizers were what people used when they wanted that "techno" sound and a keyboard was what people wanted when they desired a more "true" sound. I'm after the true sound. Right now, I have nothing at all, so really anything would be an improvement, sound card or no sound card.

You can get the best software, but it is your sound card that determines the quality of the sound. MIDI mappers and programs use your sound card to create the instrument sounds.

I have a vintage (1987) Ensoniq SQ - 80 Cross wave synthesizer and sequencer. It is not reading the cartridge memory. How can this be fixed?
