Advice on VSTi for TRANCE

I'm looking to buy the best VSTi (or VSTis) for Trance music, specifically. What would you guys recommend? Also, if possible, I would like to know if I could use my keyboard to control any of these VSTis (because I've been using Ableton Live's preset sounds and haven't found a good use for my Alesis Micron, unfortunately). I might add that I got some hefty discounts on some Native Instruments VSTis for buying one of their products...

Well NI have Massive which would do you well for a wide variety of sounds.

Also Rob Papens "Albino 3" would be worth looking at.

Both offer free demos as far as I can remember so you can try before buying.

Cheers

Massive has a nice modulation sequencer thingy that (from what I have heard of 'trance') would come in very handy. Massive is awesome. HUGE range of sounds. If you can try a demo definitely check it out, otherwise check for torrents! It's out there.. I don't see the harm if you are looking for something to buy. Peace and good luck.

ableton live has a 8 osc saw instrument. n.i. massive is great. rop papen synths will do the job too. the korg klc intruments like mono-poly would be fine as well. arturia too.
