Well..I'm still experimenting.I dont use any sampler instrument..yet..in really live singing situation.But I have some samplers, guitars ,pianos,basses and so from Native Ins, old Akai ones and some others from friends of the friends.It's a hole folklore about it on the net.As long as is in wav. format you can use even Sound Blaster ones!(?)
Now I'm ready to upgrade my SD1 with the EXP instruments from AJ..then I'll see if I need anymore samplers.I'm playing a lot of countries and fast songs so I need good guitars ,piano,organ and drums+bass.It's looking like the EXP will do it for a while.
I found very realistic some of the sounds coming with NI Bandstand, but I don't know if we are aloud to use them.
