I agree with musicbear; what could you POSSIBLY need that isn't already there in the default installation? The selection of synths is way overkill considering that zynAddSubFx probably COULD do all of them, if only you spend the years to figure out how to work it. Also zasfx doesn't make ADSR tweeking easy, and that's kind of important (to me). Get familiar with everything already there first, then check out what's available for free before you start spending money. Your money might be better spent on hardware (speakers, microphone, computer, whatev) depending on how far you want to take the "home studio" concept.
Well... that said, I have become a fan of soundfont drumkits. TripleOsc's drumkit has about 10 sounds, and the toms are barely audible. The soundfont I'm loading (sorry, I'm at work and can't tell you which one, but it's a "standard" one... I wanna say "GSM_V2 something"?) has ... many, many different drumkits some of which have probably about 80 different sounds. It looks a little strange in the paino-roll... but I like having ONE track for my percussion - that I can change at will - as opposed to 9 or more slightly different versions of BB tracks.
Speaking of (although this is the wrong topic to say this), it'd be super-handy, when using a multi-different-sound instrument, if the piano-roll could somehow label which sound each "note" is in the font. As it stands, you kind of have to make a note and drag it up and down to even hear what's available. C4 is a cymbal crash, C#4 is a rattlesnake, D4 is a hihat, etc.
