Stable emulations of hardware synthesizers

Plugins

Hi all,
maybe this list could be of interest for keybording GP users.
All plugins have been tested by me on Windows and OSX and are not too expensive. There are existing much more, but this is a list of plugins I own, are well-developed and provide me with great experience with Gig Performer.

Great list! From those I use (on Windows), I would add:

Hammond B3

  • IK Multimedia B-3X

Roland Juno 6/60

  • Arturia Jun6-V

Fender Rhodes/Wurlitzer EP

  • Lounge Lizard EP4 (has the edge over PianoTeq with EPs for me)

Yamaha CS80

  • Cherry Audio GX80

I am also using a lot of the same plugins as you, e.g. PianoTeq for acoustic piano, GForce Oddity (though I now have v3), Arturia V-Collection, Cherry Audio
