hey you guys. i was thinking about getting a soft keyboard synth, or maybe even a hardware one i could hook up to my mpc or whatever, but all of them have wack horns and string sounds! does anyone know any synths with the dope horns or strings?
like ones that sound real, not that midi, ringtone sounding violin and that cell phone tuba bass!

thanks :D

You need to get a kybd and learn how to tweak and layer, NOT just rely on the presets and just run with that.

Get a motif. Get a triton. Get a phantom. Get all three.

Just layer and tweak the defaults or make your own sounds.

ill check those out. i got a budget, so im probalby not gona go get a triton anytime soon lol. and a soft keyboard synth is like the korg Legacy edition keyboards, or the acid fm7 ones. just a synthisizer that is software instead of hardware.

roland jv1080 has a really good horns section, and some dope strings too. Plus it has 64 voices. It's pretty nice for an old synth.
