Toontrack has released
EZdrummer Lite and
EZmix 2 Lite for free. (You do have to sign up for a Toontrack account if you don't already have one.) The authorization process is a bit of a pain. Available for both PC and Mac.
And, if you have an iDevice, especially an iPad, you should try
Zap Guitar, a free app that lets you "strum" a "guitar". It's pretty cool. (Although not quite as cool as its big brother,
Songful, that comes with a huge database of songs. But that app costs $2.99.)
Any other cool software we should know about?
