Edirol... Is that a program or a VST? I have some very good soundfont sets for you.

 

The mixcraft sound font is a very good electronic soundfont and very popular. Likely the best all around more profesional sounding sound font then the standard one that comes with the computer.

 

You can also get soundfonts with single instruments, which for orchestra i find my best source here, and here.

 

Thats the best i know of that's free. I don't know much about VST except the standard FL studio ones.

Well, for VSTs, I mainly use Sytrus, harmor and 3xosc (Fl studio plugins ftw) for all my music, Massive is also a good vst but it's a bit pricy, but If your ging to put money in this, get zeta+2. If your looking for free vst synths, try Synth 1, oatmeal, crystal, atlantis, chimera etc.

 

I have the links here

Synth 1 & Oatmeal : http://www.geocities.jp/daichi1969/softsynth/

(Basic, 2 Ocilator synth that can make almost any sound you desire. The site is japanese, I may have no trouble reading, but Incase your wondering, the downloads are in the bottom of the page)

 

Crystal : http://www.greenoak.com/crystal/Crystal/Crystal.html

(Wavetable synth, similar to Zera+, great for trance, techno, dubstep etc.)

 

Atlantis : http://jeremyevers.com/atlantis/

(A Wavetable effect filter, good for ambient, underwater themed works, it's not an instrument, but it's for filtering already existing sounds, lowpass and Ring modulation in examplemight work well with crystal and chimera)

 

Chimera : http://www.majken.se/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=3&Itemid=9

(Experimental Noise Driven Subtractive Synthesizer which uses noise to create freaky, dark and vivid atmospheres for your songs, ideal for glitch, IDM, braindance, Ambient, Techno, microhouse and other sci-fi-ish music!)

 

TAL Noisemaker : http://kunz.corrupt.ch/products/tal-noisemaker

(Another experimental subtractive synthesizer, 6 oscillators for max damage! Great alternative for sytrus, good for making stab sounds for trance and house)

 

Glitch : http://www.bluedistortion.com/2011/01/24/glitch-a-free-vst-created-by-illformed/

(an effect module with a rather self-explanotory name, ideal for glitch and IDM, also works great for Dubstep and Complextro)

 

Theres also Bitcrusher, I just can't find the link anymore, but try looking for trifilter, it works well (google is your friend)

Berrtill is a good distortion plugin, also try Quadrafuzz as a distortion (paid VST) it has warm nice sounding bright analog sounds ;)

 

Best VST I've used:

 

1. Sytrus (paid)

2. PoiZone (paid)

3. TAL Bitcrusher

4. reFX Nexus (paid)

5. harmless (paid)

6. ZynAddSubFX (best alternative to ReFX Nexus and Harmless)

Actually, Sytrus and Harmless have loads of stuff if you use the demo of FL Studio (Which doesn't end... ever). I've used them in most of my stuff.

Well Im using fruity edition (gonna get producer edition maybe in like 2 more months), and both are demos, but they have a bunch of presets. But Sytrus would be more suitable, PoiZone is good for warm analog bass synths though

Yeah, but PoiZone has a lot less options.

 

When you combine the free versions of Harmor, Harmless, and Sytrus, you've got one hell of an instrument range.

From what I am seeing, PoiZone and Harmless are more for electronic music.

Then Nexus is more for Dance

 

Harmor, never bothered to use it, I bet its a demo in fruity edition xD

Sytrus, too many presets, hard not to duplicate a preset sometime.

Then Sakura, it just wont stop crashing FL Studio (im running fl studio with a linux software called wine, not using windows nor mac :P)

Sakura is a pain unregistered.

Harmor is basically Harmless, but about a hundred more options.

 

Harmor and Harmless have lots of pads, but are also very versatile in what instruments they have. Sytrus... I only use that because there are so many options.

I used to use Sytrus when making wobble bass, until I used 3xOsc + Berrtill (vst plugin) together

But as of August 30th I think, I hate berrtill as it broke my speakers from its heavy distortion... (never use it when your using a laptop with full volume)

Oh, you apparently use it for way different reasons for me. I don't do electronic, I do classical. That said, ending this quote chain.

I like the string presets in sytrus :P

Their good.

 

With harmless, I cant do anything more other than organ-like synths and distorted analog bass
