JJazzLab is a free and open-source application which automatically generates backing tracks for any song.
You type in chord symbols, select a rhythm (style), then JJazzLab generates a complete backing track with drums, bass, guitar, keyboard, strings, etc. JJazzLab can read Yamaha style files, which gives you access to thousands of free styles.
JJazzLab creates realistic and non-boring backing tracks, which can be easily customized even for complex songs.

As a jazz/funk pianist I have tried most of the auto-accompaniment or backing tracks apps (Band In a Box, etc). They are good indeed and I had some fun at first, but I quickly got frustrated: I missed the intensity dynamics which help develop interesting solos. I was aware that a program will never match a real band, but I had a few ideas how to do better. That’s why I decided to start developing JJazzLab.

Get FreePiano. If your MIDI interface is working, FreePiano will make a sound when you press keys. It's piano sound isn't the best, but it's decent enough for testing and learning to play. It can also use VST plugins. Source: about 1 year ago
Freepiano. On top of being free and letting you get started right away, it is also a VST Host (VST 2 only!) Watch out for the volume, though. It starts up with the volume at MAX, and with the sustain pedal On. Playing that first note can be quite annoying. Just click once near the sustain fields (can't miss them, right above the keyboard) and then turn the volume down to about half. Source: over 1 year ago
If you're on Windows, FreePiano. It's a piano all by itself, connects to MIDI devices, and can use VST2 plugins (32 or 64 bit, depending which version of FreePiano you download).

You don't really need much. Windows 10 still has the Wavetable Synth installed. Freepiano 2 is pretty much just what it says - a free piano application that takes MIDI input. It comes with it's own piano sound, but also can use any VST2 plugin (make sure if you get the 64 bit version, your VST2's are 64-bit as well). You can point Freepiano at the MS Wavetable Synth, but it's not a great sound. Source: over 1 year ago
There's a thing called FreePiano. It's nothing great, but the default piano sound leaves a lot to be desierd, but you can use standard VST plugins to replace it's default piano sound, so you can 'upgrade' to a better piano sound later. Super simple to set up and use - just remember to turn the volume down and click on the Sustain field when you first start it up. It's always max volume when it starts, and the...
