So I have just bought myself a dinky little second-hand M-Audio KeyRig49, which is a pretty straight-forward forty-nine key MIDI controller with volume slider and those silly wheels which make things sound fun. What I am looking for is cool software for the Mac that will give me good sounds to play with, so I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions?
The M-Audio software that comes with appears to be Windows only, so I haven't played with that. So far I have been playing with Garage Band, which has OK sounds, but really, nothing cool.
Please let me know ideas if you have such!

Contrary to the posts above me, I think you should try Reason.

(it's almost exclusively what I use)

Well, clearly Reason is something I'll have to pirate. They want lots of dollars for the real deal, don't they?

Lots of hundreds of dollars.

reason is best pure midi software for the price IMO *maybe thing like NUENDO is better, but idk), but keep in mind it is not full fledged DAW u will need 2 use ReWire (come with reason) and another program like Reaper, Ableton, FL studio, pro tool, etc to record audio

I pirated Reason for awhile but I liked it enough (and wanted legit xpacs enough) that I went on Ebay and bid on a copy for around $80, I think. Very worth it.
