Hi Frank,
looks a bit like a Hypercanvas. ( Sonar synth)

After doing some more testing, I ended up ordering a Hypercanvas yesterday through PG Music. Saved a fortune compared to the price I was quoted here in Australia , so I'm really happy about it.

I'm Hypercanvas as my main synth for the styles themselves. Personally I need something that I won't be tempted to fiddle round with too much, ie with soundfonts, the temptation is always there to keep ugprading the fonts, which could also mean having to tweak the styles each time I upgrade an instrument, and I'd never get anything finished ( I'm a compulsive fiddler, haahaa) .

Like Michael ( Quasar ) I'll use some soundfonts, but more so in midifiles ie if I record a backing track using a style, use the fonts to add additional tracks.

Haven't thought too much about what to use for a main melody. I'm still happy playing piano with a midifile or arranger style for backing.

Feel like I'm on track again. (haahaa)

best wishes
Rikki

TTS-1 multitimbral, multi-out GM2 synthesizer with authentic Roland® sounds

This might turn out to be a good softsynth alternative. I will let you know.
