Hi Starkeeper,
I think a few of us regulars are now using
Forte Ensemble,
with livesynth pro, midiyoke etc etc . I think AJ may have even swapped over from chainer or whatever he was using?? ( I could be wrong).
Only reason I'm suggesting at looking at Forte is, that maybe we would be of more help to you?? Personally I've never bothered using any others. There is a demo. http://www.brainspawn.com/products/

I have the same problem when I try and using my Audigy, I can only load up to 140mb font in my 512mb memory, wheras using Forte , livesynth pro etc I can load a much bigger font.
Reason why I decided to edit. I can use good quality large samples for instruments that are used regularly in the styles, and just use small samples (or even leave them out for instruments that are never used.)
I haven't had too many bagpipes or dogs barking or car crash effects pop up in styles , yet these voices exist in some of the gm/gs fonts. So I figure why bother having them in my omb font , I can always add the sound back in if required.

How large a font can you load into your soundcard??
