When downloadin/installing Cakewalk there was also an option to dl/install add-ons. One of them being studio instrument suite. Cakewalk Studio Instruments includes a Drum Kit, Bass Guitar, Electric Piano and String Section.

You can, in the daw, go to help menu and select "check for updates" and that should give you the option to dl/install the add-ons you want if you didn't go for it the first time.

There is lots of free vsti plugins from third parties. That also goes for free effect plugins.

This forum has topics for that:

Thanks to all who tried to help, by my intention was on a free cakewalk VST instrument which can be used externally, like a synth or maybe a rompler.

What do you mean: "which can be used externally, like a synth or maybe a rompler?" VSTs are software (plug-ins) and need a host program to run.  They are not hardware like a synth or a rompler.

Hi, the included Cakewalk SI Suite instruments previously mentioned are VST plugins that can be used with any DAW host.

But they are very basic, so that is why the forum thread for freeware instruments was created. Most of them are better than the Cakewalk bundled ones, and suggest looking there.

Cakewalk has not bundled any premium instruments since it was a paid product back in the Gibson/Sonar days. BandLab re-released Cakewalk as a free DAW, but you need to bring your own instruments.

Google about "hosts".

There's many and Savihost and Nanohost is some free ones.

Use vsti's from the "freeware instruments thread".

If you mean non-DAW, Voltage Modular's Plug-In Host modules (part of VM's Core Bundle) can also be used to host many 64-bit VST Instruments, including the SI series.

I believe he was just asking for plugin instruments, not hosts.

You are right.
