Hey JMatt,

I too have struggled with finding a great sounding VSTi that is Multitimbral and is GM compatible. After buying many sample libraries that were NOT GM compatible, I was considering the Keytron SD2, which had good demos and was rated highly by a lot of users here. But I really didn't want to buy a sound module.
2 weeks ago, a buddy helped my find a wonderful Product by Vir2 called "Vi One". Here is the address>

Awesome sounds, less than $200 and seems to do everything I'm looking for. I haven't bought it yet, but I am on the fence and thinking about it. Let us know if you do get it!!

Hope this helps,
Ed
