	The following was posted to the uk.comp.sys.mac Usenet group. The chap who posted it hasn't received any replies and I thought I would replicate it here in the hope you might be able to assist/advise. "We've got a few musicians in the group, and I'm just starting to get into Cubase SE's VST feature rather than using it to control physical MIDI instruments. Do people have any recommendations for a good starter pack of VST instruments? I'm looking to transfer over old Roland D20 tracks (so a VST version of old Roland L/A synths such as the D20 and D50 would be damned handy), but other than that I'm interested in better orchestral strings, some good vintage synth sounds (think Tony Banks circa early 1970s) and some decent modern synths too, the model names of which I'm afraid I've not kept up with. Cheers, Ian" Can you assist him? Yule blessings, Margo

	Margolotta, I'm afraid I can't be of any use. He's asking for information about things that I don't use.

	vsmith1, I suspect that you actually mean www.MacMusic.org Even if it's not what you intended to type, it's still a good one to try.
