If you want real sounds, and are looking for a cheap quality rompler, check this out:

http://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1 ... 60-Xpand-2

Xpand!2 is a mighty fine rompler, lifted from Protools and sold by Air instruments. It's at a 99% discount now at Pluginboutique, so you can have it for a dollar and something (yes 1 dollar).

Can't really go wrong there

regards, Frank

Xpand!2 is definitely great for $1.

These two are only for Windows (32-bit only) but I still like them:

I just wish they would get them working as 64-bit plugins..

They do have this one for 64-bit but I haven't tried it

Purity is small and old school... 64mb soundbank, like the old days... but def has some useful sounds. I have lots of high end synths and kontakt banks, but still find use for it in a variety of projects... what makes it so useful (IMO) is it's 16 parts, so you can make some decent pads and keys by layering sounds. Unfortunately, 32-bit only as mentioned..

Also +1 on both calliope and xpand2 (can't beat $1!!!)...

Sampletank 3 Custom Shop and Kontakt Player are free and have good free sounds with them.

+1 for XPand!2, really a no-brainer at the current price of $1,00 if you're looking for a rompler.
Kontakt Player and Sampletank 3 Custom Shop are also nice options.

I would like to add the following free or pay what you want romplers to the list:

Orion Sound Module by Samplescience (based on Public Domain sounds);

E-MU Proteus VX (old school E-MU sounds);

It looks like the free Xpand!2 offer from DJWorx may still be working, here is the link. It goes to the AIR website, not DJWorx.
I tried doing this back when it was first announced and did get it for free, even though I already had Xpand!2.

+1 for xpand2.

UVI workstation is also free, but you can buy sounds for it. It can get expensive though, depends on what you buy really

Second hand Kontakt license can be found cheap, gets you a pile of stuff.

Then Rapture Pro from cakewalk can be found time after time in insane discount. I bought my copy for 24€.

Here I am almost forgetting my favorite one: Zampler.

Zampler is made by Synapse Audio (that also made the Dune vst and Orion DAW) but distributed for free by a few online magazines. It has a ton of free libraries to go with it, can load SFZ's to expand even further and has a nice sleek synth-style interface.

The official site is in German, but you can put the url in Google translate to view in your own language:
http://www.zampler.de/

That link takes me to an empty cart page on the AIR site. No sign of any special offers. Xpand!2 is $99 on that site ...
