C'mon guys,
I just don't get the problem of using high quality sounds for the styles too.
For no apparent reason, everyone is abandoning the good old gigastudio, and then complaining about program change latency. I'm currently using gigastudio with a sound library or about 2.5 gigabytes. I just load in the whole gig file, takes less than a minute, and then I jam away. 0 latency when changing voices, because everything is already loaded.

I currently play live using OMB and sound-fonts. I'm still in middle of putting together the gigastudio sound bank. I am not worried at all to use it live for melody AND styles. As a matter of fact, I already did use my gigastudio library (currently at 2.5 gigs) live, to see what the audience says, and I got great comments about the rich sound.
