    I currently own a Korg SP-500 digital piano. I should have purchased the
    Korg Triton Studio 88 but did not have that much cash at the time. The
    Sp-500 has around 400 digital sample but some of them are pretty cheezy and
    will not cut through the sound of other instruments when played live. The
    organ samples in the SP500 are very weak. I wish to purchase a sound
    module/synth and am looking for some recommendations. I have an IBM
    Thinkpad PIII/700 laptop and I know there are a great number of software
    synths available. Should I look at the software option? The Korg Triton
    Studio sound module looks good but pricey. The Yamaha Motif sound generator
    looks good too and is priced better.

    I just need something with a variety of good quality sounds primarily
    organ(Hammond B3/B4would be nice), pianos, strings and brass. I need to be
    able to program the instument changes to presets on my keyboard so I can
    trigger the changes during live performances. I play in a band. We do
    mainly 70's rock and blues.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards,
    Bruce Holm
