I went to the list of soft synths, and I got dizzy because I don't understand a lot of the jargon. What I am looking for is something very cheap and basic (I paid $25 for my Yamaha XG software), and I don't need or want a lot of options for tweaking it. I just want my MIDI output to sound more like acoustic musical instruments. My limited experience tells me that Yamaha is superior to Roland in this regard, but I am hoping that someone with more experience can guide me to a product that is simple, affordable, and meets my needs.
