A great VST

One of the best plugins for people who are new to making music. I use this quite a lot in making music. This VST is one of the best ones out there, yet not as popular as Sylenth1 or reFX Nexus

Decent

Can create some nice synth sounds, as well as a variety of others. Quality could be better, but it makes for some very nice filler sounds.
