Hi there

Native Instruments have an organ VST called the Hammond B4 (used to be B3). They also have plenty of stuff in their Komplete package. Applied Acoustic Systems have various options too including Lounge Lizard EP-4. http://www.applied-acoustics.com/products/

But all that costs money, so you'd probably be better served by checking out the plugin 'finder' function on KVRaudio.com (http://www.kvraudio.com/q.php). Just type in 'organ', 'keys' or whatever and plenty will come up.

You may also want to check out the Dub Scrolls website where they have plenty of info on producing reggae/dub and also provide some custom VST FX. (http://www.interruptor.ch/vst_donationware.shtml)

If you're using Reason, then the sound banks that come with it contain plenty of stuff which can be used by adding effects etc.

An alternative for non-Reason users may be Steinberg Hypersonic which contains loads of different sampled instruments and makes layering very easy for some great results.

Finally, Kontakt is by far the most widely supported synth/sampler platform out there in terms of third party content. If you go down the Kontakt route, searching Google or KVR for Kontkt soundbanks should yield plenty of results for every kind of sound set and instrument you may desire!

Hope that helps.

I'm not sure whether you were after intruments or synths tbh, confused by your posts. Anyways if you're after free instruments, I have a couple of decent free horn, string, piano & guitar packs for Kontakt - which you can use with the free Kontakt player.

Combining horns and string stabs is a nice way of getting those reggae "skanks" - the horns/trumpet packs in that post are great for this.

There's a harpsichord knocking about in that japanese pack which is also cool to layer in.

Made that post a while back... so I've probably picked some other stuff up since then, but there's a fair amount there to play with.

Thank for that!

Search for specific instrument soundfonts, not just reggae.
Also search for multi sampled instruments.

Not sure if I mention'd this on here but a VST called Dub Siren is great for Reggae !.
