I agree Rikki. Although I will always be open to looking at new and even better sample sets and modules as they become available, I already have more quality lead voices than I'll probably ever need. Right now my focus is primarily to concentrate on improving backing voices.

I've given up on Hypercanvas and even Hypersonic. The former doesn't appeal to me very muchg soundwise, while the latter sounds decent, nothing special, but even with the updates still doesn't always recognize patch and bank changes. The only GM / XG modules other than soundfonts that seem to work all of the time without a hitch are Cakewalk's Tts-1, Yamaha's SYXG50 and Virtual Sound Canvas, but none of them appeal to me at all soundwise.

I would recommend more memory. I have 2.8 gigs in the laptop and 1.8 in the desktop system, and it does make quite a difference. I think I may add a bigger hard drive to the laptop though. The 180 mb SGM180 breezes along very easily in either system when I open it in Live Synth pro

If I do decide to go all out and make a soundfont, I'm going to start my soundfont one instrument at a time, using raw samples and / or recording new samples from some of my existing instruments. I don't know what the max capability of LSP is, but if it came down to it, and I had to, I'd simply split the instruments and make a couple soundfonts so all I'll have to do is open a couple of instances of LSP.
