I also like the M-Tron VST plugin. I've A-B'ed it with my 2 M400's
and it's certainly good enough to fool most ears (although none on
this message board :>).

I've also tried Sampletank and a few others, but they don't sound as
good to me. Haven't played with the Pinder CD, but the recordings
I've heard with it sounded good.
