I'm looking for some great virtual instruments to use along with my backings tracks for times when the RT style isn't there or the part needs to be specific. Normally, I can get by with the RT, but sometimes you just have to have a certain parts play a way that the RT can't do.
Before I begin, I would like to let you know that I do own Kontack and have the Sessions Horns and the SCARBEE RICKENBACKER® BASS, along with a great steel pan sample pack, and I understand how virtual instrument samplers work.
Ok, now on to what I am looking for:
1. Upright bass. with bow sounds and pizzicato
2. Fretless bass
3. Harp, with ability to do arpeggios and tremolos
4. Mallet percussion(xylophone, marimba)
5. sound fxs.
P.S. Don't worry if you don't have a virtual instrument for all of them, just give me the ones you use and that work for you.

Kontakt is my go to soft synth for sounds. Here is what I have that will most likely work for you: Upright/double bass - Kirk Hunter's Diamond Orchestra. There are key switches for pizzicato and adjustments for legato. With a high legato setting you can get a bowed sound. Wait for a sale if you don't want to pay full price. https://www.kirkhunterstudios.com/shop/I play bass so fretless bass is "organic"! Again the Diamond Orchestra for the harp. It has the arpeggios but you can add a tremolo effect with some free VSTs and/or use Kontakt's Rotator. I use the latter. Orange Tree Samples Pure Jazz Vibes are great: https://www.orangetreesamples.com/products/pure-jazz-vibesSampleism' PSI Marimba is also great: http://www.sampleism.com/paperstoneinstruments/psi-marimba?sk=ktThese are my choices. I hope this information helps. Good luck. {edit} I forgot the FXs. I search the Internet for a given FX as there are always free ones out there. I do not buy FX samples.

Mario, by fxs, I'm mean like synth instruments that produce crazy fx sounds. I like to experiment with sound.
