[RWP] need some VST recommendations

Fri Oct 26 13:22:09 EDT 2012

hi there indigo
wow, i really did appreciated all these stuff, they are now less 
confusing now, thanks for explaining how they mostly work~. i've saved 
this mail because you have named some good VSTs out here~

for now i am trying to make my workstation (it's a korg kronos) to work 
as a midi keyboard.
it will probably work, but i have no idea how.
should i get midi output with my PC soundcard, or with my workstation's 
soundcard??
i am going to  mail you to get that demo which you're talking, so 
hopefully i'll make sure that i'm hosting a VST correctly before trying 
to connect my workstation as a midi.
wow univercity, it makes me to produce less music now :(
sorry for delays at responding.
thanks indigo
-regards,
hadi
