I used to use a Roland XV-3080, which probably has a lot of the same sounds found in the Roland JV1010 synth. General Midi sounds tend to be kind of unspectacular.. and I find that the results I get from the Coyote forte GM synth are not that different from the GM in my hard synth.

what I liked about the hardware synth was all the other non-GM patches... but, IMO today's soft synths are better.

Best bang for the buck is the occasional $99 deal on one of the better soft synths, and use it in conjunction with Coyote forte if you need GM sounds. Forte is cheap and quite passable for a lot of GM applications
