Thanks in advance guys

The instruments in native LMMS is actually good. The UIs may not look as fancy as most of the instruments in commercial DAWs.
Best native is ZynAddSubFX (zasfx), but it is also difficult to manage with its complicated UI.
'Best' instruments are subjective, but Synth1 should be in all installations, imo.
The best advice beside Synth1.. :p -is to only have some 15 VSTs and learn them in depth, and not DL every plugin you can, and never really learn any in depth.

Yeah, Synth 1 and most of the dsk music vst's, work well too. OranZe is one that works well in lmms.

These are all good choices.

Yeah, as others have said, synth 1 is good. That is about the only 1 that I really use on my LMMS installation. It's an amazing VST and you can get so many sound banks and manipulate them. A wonderful VST. As others have mentioned, it's best to have a few and learn all about them.
