OK, I'm lookin at setting up a prodominately VST-driven studio on my PC. Except for the sequencer (which will be SONAR or Cubase), I would like most of the sampling, synthesis and effects to be VST driven. I will be producing mainly Trance and would like to create all those cool electro-synth wah-wah thump-thump phatt momma trance-inducing kinda sounds you hear in the pro stuff.

For this I need a really cool synth and a really cool sampler - the kind that is so dripping with features that you never end up using them all. I haven't had much experience in the VST side of things so I don't know whether I'm better off using a VSTi synth/sampler or the non-VST types such as GigaSampler, etc.
I'm looking for a synth that will provide a variety of sounds with heaps of features and a big fat price tag.

Can anybody help out

why not just get Reason until you get good at sequencing then get a muti-track like cubase if you have external gear later. Reason would keep a newbie and a seasoned music guru busy for a while. Samplers , drums, and synths are all there.

true it's probably the best value for virtual instruments as you get everything you need in one for alot less than buying things individualy as long as you can rewire it if you need audio tracks (logic/VST) but if not the sequencer is ok.

there will be a Vsampler 3.0 sometime and it sounds like it'll be a lot more streamlined with the synth section as a seperate VSTi, the VX7 which looks interesting and is a free download beta version at the speedsoft site now.

I tried out halion a little and i quite like the interface, but i couldnt believe there wasnt even any way of previewing samples before loading them. wierd
