I think Live operator would do the trick, I just want a cheap or free one. Most such plug-ins are a bit too dazzling for me - I want a simple basic one with an intuitive layout. There are bunch of them out there: http://audio.tutsplus.com/tutorials/composition/11-totally-free-vst-synthesizers-that-sound-great/ ...but I am looking for some reviews. Thanks for the info!

I am looking for a basic waveform generator-type as well as one that will work with a MIDI keyboard controller. Thanks!
