Default Best music/Midi software

Now i've got my house back in order after a **** load of building work I want to get my music keyboard setup and connected to my PC.

I had Cubase VST before but cant seem to find my CD so am open to suggestions as to what is the best before I go and spend some money.

What wouls you all recommend as the best midi software. My keyboard is a Yamaha CS6X

As you're using PC, your options are still really Cubase (will keep my own opinions out of it ). However, another option is Reason (combined with your CS, you'd have a nice little setup)

umm, I used to be endorsed by Steinberg, and well, let's just say that I hold Cubase in such high esteem that it is currently being used as a door wedge in my studio

I use Mac, and am using Logic Pro.

However, each person to their own!!

Cubase / Cakewalk are good if you've got a lot of external hardware, however as mentioned above Reason 3 is a fantastic all in one package and very cheap for what it does.

some good samples can be found here http://www.reasonstation.net/songs/chart.php

Other options apart from Reason are Storm and Orion (similar not as feature rich but alot cheaper), a great midi sequencer I use is called Tracktion which has now been bought by mackie who do mixing desks. Get on over to www.kvr-vst.com and you will find literally *hundreds* of sequencers, plug-ins, effects.
