Soft synths are fine, but quite fiddly. They generally come in the form of a plugin, which is used as part of midi sequencing software like sonar or cubase. That being the case, you generally get a picture of a synth with knobs and sliders which you click. Stay tuned though, because there are stand alone synths, and I have some links. My computer was stolen a few weeks back, so you'll have to bear with me whilst I find them.

How accessible are the software synths? I'm using window-eyes 7.11. For a sighted user, the software synth recreates the front pannel of the hardware synthesizer on the screen. You can twiddle with the knobs and switches on the screen. So instead of paying thousands of dollars for an older synth, for maybe $200 you can get a software version of that synthesizer. I own a Minimoog model D synth and it sounds great, but if I could have access to some software synths, that would open up a whole new world for me. Just curious.
