I agree that Independence has excellent sounds. I ended up buying the Pro version, but the UI bothered me so much that I "returned" it for a refund.
PS: I really liked your music.
I just need to say +1 for Xpand 2.
While there are better VSTis out there, I don't think you can do much better for the price, even at 49 bucks. Let alone the absolutely crazy deal at $1.
This would be indeed one of the best buys.
As a freeware, I'd recommend Independence Free from Magix, but IT IS a headache to install.
This for rompler type.
Synth type - simply too many to even start to mention.
