Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment
Good stuff!
I started getting in to this at the start of the year. Already had an old, dusty MicroKORG and MIDI interface to use it as a controller, but recently splashed out on a bigger controller as the Korg's tiny keys were hurting me - plus, I wanted something bigger to get better at piano!
A couple of free soft synths I'd recommend are Surge XT, and Vital.

Obsolete (or not) DAW recommendations for windows 8?

Hi, I'm new
To get the equivalent of a symphonic orchestra in your computer, the solution is basically money; you buy the instruments you need. In the case of synthesizers, things are much cheaper - if you put in the effort yourself. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ is excellent and could even be used if you wanted to make a more retro-style soundtrack.

So is serum worth the money? Can someone ELI5 why I should buy it rather than use a free synth like synth one?
Instead of Synth1, try https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ . It's pretty much better in every aspect except for the UI which is going to look a lot more daunting to you ;)

Problem with Surge XT plugin in Reaper.
In general, this should only happen when a Program Change message is sent.

does anyone know a tutorial on how to create a midi program?
If what you want is to make VST plugins, you're going to need a lot more. I've used the iplug/iplug2 framework: https://github.com/iPlug2/iPlug2/tree/master/Examples/IPlugMidiEffect https://github.com/iPlug2/iPlug2
