Know of a midi controlled software piano?

I got an M-Audio Radium 61 key "midiman" which is simply a midi controller.
All I want to do is find, hopefully, freeware that allows me to use the controller as a piano. Looking for something that takes the midi input (via usb) into my laptop and outputs a piano sound. Nothing fancy in the way of sequencers or the like.
It would be extra beneficial if I could switch to the sounds of different types of piano, ie classical, grand, etc.
Anyone know of anything like that?
Most free synth software requires a VST host (you’d already have what you’re asking for) or is a huge synth demo of one sort or another.
For free, try:

There’s a video showing some features.
The Ableton Live demo (http://www.ableton.com) is worth a try. You won’t be able to record with it, however. It’s a full featured digital audio workstation (synthesizers, sequencers, sampler, effects and more) so it’s more than what you’re asking for, but after going through the tutorials (the feature that really makes Live shine), I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been blown away, from a bored Answers user looking for something to up to a total electronic music enthusiast. And there’s plenty of piano sounds with it.

I use Reason and can download any sounds to their synths.
Even if you use garageband in mac you can upload your own sounds. So you should find a program you like using then search the internet for your perfect piano and load the sounds into your program and play away.
