.... You just want an affordable multitimbral instrument with many sounds? Xpand!2 is $19.99 on Plugin Boutique at the moment, and sounds better than everything above. +100 on the above suggestion. This is a great rompler for the price, and if you're not in a hurry, wait for one of their $1 sales w...

Maybe look into these freebies:

Try uninstalling/reinstalling the 64 bit ASIO drivers for your interface.
