4Front Technologies 4Front Piano Module

This is the best free piano mudule, I've heard, better than mda, Sampletank free, or even that light version of Plugsound that came with CM. It's simply more convincing to my ears.

If I want to just fool around or lay a quick keyboard part, that's the module, in fact, I put it on the default setting so I can begin bashing right away. And I find it acceptable that it has not a single knob, cos pianos don't have that anyway, and If I really need I can process the sound with another plugin.

One more: The sound is a little reverby and, some claim, out of tune, so it might be difficult to mix it, but based on personal experience, it's not, it slides right in.

mda JX10

This is the best sounding freeware synth around.
but one of the worst looking.
It has clarity and richness and punch, but not too much diversity, so you don't get lost.
It can't be automated, though, big shame, and sometimes drop out (but don't crash). The author replyed to my emails himself, and it should be noted that his other plugins (effects)are enormous too.

Steinberg Model-E

Well, this instrument doesn't sound very good, to my ears. Sounds too harsh and basic.
It can be improved with the Mig Music bank. The demo version alone has a few well programed and usefull sounds.
